Emerson Knives Horseman at Scottsdale Pen and Knife

As any knife fan knows, finding Emerson Knives for sale is always a challenge as the demand far exceeds the supply.

The Wave feature is standard, allowing for lightning fast deployment.

Oregon Vacation a Success

During the last week of September we were up in Oregon, spending two days in Portland and five days in a rented beach house at Gleneden Beach. This was just south of Lincoln City. We had two days of sunshine, two days mostly cloudy, and the rest with on and off rain. Pretty typical Oregon weather...

Besides having a great time with our two adult kids, highlights included a couple of wonderful hikes, waterfalls, beach combing, and great food. In Portland we enjoyed the Saturday Market, Voodoo Donuts, the Chinese Gardens and general walking about. We also did the Latourell Falls Hike (long loop) out at the Columbia River Gorge.

On the coast we did some shopping at the Tanger Outlet Stores where we stocked up on new rain gear, and then had a great time doing the Drift Creek Falls Trail and suspension bridge hike (in the rain). We also got up to the Tillamook Cheese Factory, always a fun place, and did the Three Capes Scenic Drive while in the area. We did tour as far south as Newport - we visited the Yaquina Point Lighthouse and Cobble Beach. We were there on a windy, rainy day, so it was very dramatic up in the tower - the wind was whistling past. Perfect lighthouse weather! You can see the spiral staircase below.

Visconti Pininfarina Carbongrafite Retractable Fountain Pen

Two Italian masters of design and technology have teamed up to create the Visconti Pininfarina Carbongrafite retractable fountain pen. Visconti is, of course, a pen company, while Pininfarina is an automotive design house.

The twist-action activated Visconti Pininfarina Retractable fountain pen, which is a cartridge/converter design, showcases the Smartouch tubular chromium nib that debuted in 2012 on the Opera Typhoon and Opera Crystal pens. It resists drying out, which is an important ingredient with a capless retractable pen. However, there is an airtight trapdoor that closes over the nib when retracted.

Carbongrafite is a lightweight but immensely strong mixture of carbon fiber and graphite similar to that used in high performance sports cars. This is the first time this material has been used for a pen - it is virtually indestructable and does not stain or show signs of wear even in extensive testing.

MSRP $1895.00

From Marines hunting terrorists in burning deserts, SAR expeditions in bone chilling mountains, SWAT officers executing high risk warrant service, EMTs functioning in extreme conditions, or a civilian working in a non- permissive environment.

SOG Knives Now at Scottsdale Pen

The SOG story begins in Vietnam, where members of a highly classified US special ops unit - known as MACV-SOG - carried a unique combat knife into the jungle on covert missions. Years later, in 1986, that knife inspired a young designer, named Spencer Frazer, to found SOG Specialty Knives. His mission: to reproduce the original SOG Bowie knife and pay tribute to the special ops unit that created it.

What began as a single commemorative model soon became a full line of innovative tools - field-proven by US Special Forces, even honored as the Navy SEAL knife of choice. Today, SOG knives are carried with confidence into the most demanding situations. Forged out of tradition, hardened in the field, honed for you.

Please come in and see our selection of SOG folders - mostly automatics at this time. These are beautifully made with a lifetime guarantee. If you don't see the model you like, we can order one for you!

Acme Studio Hatch Rollerball at Scottsdale Pen

Germophobes concerned about the cleanliness of writing implements, take note: Acme Studio's Hatch rollerball pen claims to stave off bacteria and viruses using an ancient disinfectant.

Not only that, but the pen writes well, too!

Visconti Salvador Dali at Scottsdale Pen

The beginning of 2013 marked the inauguration of a Salvador Dalí exhibition in one of Florence's finest buildings, the Palazzo Medici Riccardi, and so it came almost naturally to Visconti to create surrealist pens dedicated to the artist.

Of course, the "melting clock" is the image that first comes to mind when one thinks of Dali, and Visconti has captured that idea on the pocket clip of each pen, available in three modes (ballpoint, roller, fountain) and three colors. Prices range from $249 to $289.

Delta crafted the Tork from precious black resin turned by hand and polished to a high sheen. The Momo Design logo is subtly engraved along the entire body of the pen for a sporty graphic effect. The design of the rose gold-plated metal details takes the form of a helical gear on the band and a hinged, spring-action clip to give a technical and sophisticated look to the pen.

Montegrappa Parola expansion at Scottsdale Pen

Montegrappa introduced the Parola collection over a year ago - it is a rounded version of their famous NeroUno series. However, being easier to produce than the multi-faceted bodies of the NeroUno, the Parola comes in at a much lower price point. You still get the usual attention to detail that sets Montegrappa apart from many other brands, it's just a bit easier on the wallet!

Colibri Ascari Pens and more at Scottsdale Pen

One of the surprise hits for the holidays was the Ascari collection from Colibri. We have now expanded  our selection to include lighters, money clips, and key rings. This is a very cool, masculine line from a brand that's been around since 1928.

Happy New Year from Scottsdale Pen!

Happy New Year!

On December 1, 2012, Scottsdale Pen celebrated its fifth anniversary. We opened at the official beginning of the Great Recession, December 1, 2007 and have managed to grow our business every year since. Our unique market niche in Arizona combined with a passion for excellent customer service  are probably the two main factors in our rise against the general economic tide.

We thank all of you, our customers, who have made this possible. Without your passion for pens/ink/paper and your generous support of our concept we'd never have made it this far. We try to remember this every day and try to dedicate ourselves to the fact that you are priority number one.

We admit, there are days when we fall short of our goal. After all, we are human and we do make mistakes. Sometimes the words just come out wrong, but in the overall scheme of things you know we mean to have your best interests in mind at all times.

So, here's to 2013. Let's make it a great year!
