The current brass pens have minor imperfections on the body.

Each pen is a masterpiece of precision, featuring a flawless, smooth finish and an effortless twist mechanism for seamless opening, closing, and refilling. Brass, an enduring alloy of copper and zinc, can be endlessly recycled without losing its integrity, making it both eco-friendly and energy-efficient.

Naturally antimicrobial and resistant to rust, brass develops a rich, unique patina over time—an evolving mark of character and artistry. Prefer its original brilliance? A gentle polish with brasso or lemon will restore its luster.

Designed to elevate your writing experience, the pen’s perfect weight delivers a tactile luxury, transforming every stroke into a pleasure.

Crafted with care in British Columbia, Canada, this pen combines enduring quality with thoughtful design. It comes equipped with a Pilot G2 refill and is compatible with other similar formats, ensuring timeless functionality.

Machined in British Columbia

Enjoy a weighted writing experience with a pen which forms a unique patina through use.

Lifelong fan!!!

I’ve been buying products from Hemlock and Oak for a few years and they don’t disappoint. The quality is exceptional and I appreciate how they collect feedback. This year I purchased the larger version of the planner and it’s exactly what I needed. A thoughtful company with great products.
Oh I also bought the pen this year and although it’s a little pricey well worth it. Such a beauty!!

Not hugely impressed

I mean this product is made for a person with amazing eyesight or a mouse The text is so damn small. it is like they wanted to squeeze as much into it as possible but missing out on the quality! the little butterfly and moon tags I ordered were wrapped so tightly that one came off when I was trying to unpack and it took FOREVER to arrive... like months and damn months, 0/10 would NOT recommend

Hi Charlie!

Thanks for supporting my small business and Canadian-made.

Also, thank you for your feedback and for taking the time to share your experience. I'm truly sorry to hear that your order didn’t meet your expectations—I really do strive to deliver products and service that bring joy and ease, and it’s disappointing to know it fell short in this instance. In the future, I do offer all of the downloads for free. I recommend printing the layout you are interested in at home to see if it works for you.

- Regarding the text size: I understand how frustrating it can be when the design doesn't feel user-friendly. My intention is to balance aesthetics and practicality; there are some that prefer smaller text and minimalism, and others that don't. I will review text size in our annual survey to see if there is room for making it bigger!

- The charm: I also want to sincerely apologize for the issue with the butterfly and moon tags being wrapped too tightly: this should *not* have happened, and I’ll be addressing this with our team to ensure better handling in the future. I’m happy to send you a replacement for the damaged charm and ensure it’s packaged with extra care this time!

- As for the delay: pre-orders are the only way that we can make these in Canada, and I know the wait can be frustrating. In this instance, when it finally arrived, you felt very let down. I'm really sorry about that.

Your feedback is invaluable to my small business, and I want to make this right for you. Please let me know if there’s anything additional I can do to improve your experience. You can reach me, Jess, or George at hello@hemlockandoak.com.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and I hope we can earn back your trust in the future.

Kind regards,

Tia

Nice pen but arrival was lacking

The pen feels great and well made. However, it arrived with no label, no box or special presentation…just a pen wrapped in tissue paper. A bit shocking bc even the sticker pads have a cute touch to them with the label wrapped around them. For a $60 pen, I was expecting a bit more. It is also a bit annoying to open and close bc if you go just a little bit too far, you start opening up the pen. But I’m sure I’ll eventually get the hang of using it and hope that won’t be an issue.

Hi DA,

Thank you for supporting my small business and choosing Canadian-made products!

I truly appreciate your feedback about the pen's presentation and mechanism. I’m sorry it didn’t meet your expectations—this is something I take seriously. As a small business, we had to prioritize the pen’s design and quality this year, which meant packaging wasn’t within our budget. However, I’m already planning to allocate a budget for improved presentation in 2025 and 2026.

Regarding the mechanism, thank you for sharing your experience! I’ll be keeping this feedback in mind as we explore ways to enhance future designs. While click mechanisms are more complex to produce, it’s something we’d love to offer someday.

Thank you again for your support and for taking the time to share your thoughts. I hope you enjoy using the pen, and please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have further suggestions: hello@hemlockandoak.com

Happy writing!

Tia

Not for me

I love the idea of the pen-sustainable materials, able to use refills, and it is beautiful. However, I don’t like the pilot pen and tried some of my other pen refills but they don’t fit. The pen is heavier than I like and thus, I won’t be using it until I can find a refill that works for me. I’m glad I got a discount when I purchased it because it is a pricey pen.
