S.T. Dupont Defi Hope for Japan at Scottsdale Pen

On March 11, 2011 Japan was slammed by a 9.0 earthquake and resulting tsunami that caused a nuclear disaster. In response, S. T. Dupont has created this limited edition Hope for Japan ballpoint pen. It is presented in bright lacquer red, a symbol of love and life, on which blossoms a cherry tree called Sakura, signifying renewal in Japan. Dupont is donating all profits from the sale of this pen through the French Red Cross to the Japanese Red Cross as a token of support for Japan. It is built upon the Defi frame - modern and sleek.

At the same time, we'd like to introduce the new Defi Grill ballpoint. Also a Defi model, the Grill features a stainless steel mesh overlay giving this pen a distinctively new look.
