The S.T. Dupont Defi is much like a jet fighter- responsive, precise, and high-performing. Its innovative and unique construction combines a high precision injected metal frame with several different bodies and finishes including shiny black resin, gun metal with a matte black resin, and titanium. The sleek, elongated clip is perfectly integrated into the design. The slender lines yield perfect ergonomics for everyday use.

Sheaffer Ferrari series now at Scottsdale Pen

Sheaffer has teamed up with Ferrari to produce the Official Licensed Ferrari Writing Instruments. We are offering both the 100 and the 300 series with their rich, glossy red finishes -  pretty much what you'd expect from Ferrari. Amazingly reasonable in price, but built from brass to last, the Sheaffer Ferrari pens are an excellent value.

Ducati Pens back at Scottsdale Pen

We sometimes move in waves with our inventory, and the ebb and flow has brought the Giuliano Mazzuoli Ducati series back to our shelves. The rich red anodized barrels set these all metal pens apart from the competition and there's nothing much you can break on them either.

3.6.5 produces and markets writing products that are completely handcrafted in the Florentine hills. Through its products the company expresses the creative genius of Giuliano Mazzuoli.
 
Pens and pencils come out of the accepted and classical canons of writing objects and reveal an authentic identity that combine project research, functionality, and renewed aesthetics even through the selection of modern finishes. A clean design, original forms, prestigious materials and workmanship make every 3.6.5 pen a truly handcrafted jewel.

The pens are crafted out of a solid piece of aluminum, a material that is light and resistant, and every minimum detail is cared for. The entire line of Writing Tools are completely made in Italy, right in the heart of the Chianti region of Tuscany, drawing on the excellence of the territory through the selection of local prime materials and the expert workmanship of the area.

The synergy with Museo Ducati and Mazzuoli writing instruments was created from a mutual commitment to preserve the culture and the style of products Made in Italy thereby further strengthening their ties to their roots and the territory.

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!

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!
