THE BORGES PEN - A tribute to the gauchos and literature

My client Harrison Monarth reveres the Argentinian writer Jorge Luis Borges, whose stories are characterized by the gauchos, the legendary cowboys and land lords of Argentina. Inspired by this world of rough country work, pride and the pampas, he wanted a LONGCAP fountain pen made from original gaucho knives - worn, used and marked by life.

For months, Harrison scoured auctions and collected carefully selected knives - each with its own story. With the help of Bamberg-based studio Nonne 11, we melted the knives down and began the transformation.

For the shaft, I chose solid 935 silver, a classically noble material that emphasizes the timelessness of the design. The handle retains the archaic surface of sand casting - a deliberate reference to the rough, untamed world of the gauchos. Finally, the cap was entrusted to the renowned Hamburg-based hand engraver Florian Güllert. He transferred the historical engravings of the gauchos onto the metal with exceptional precision, as if he were telling a story in silver.

THE BORGES PEN is more than just a writing instrument. It is an artistic relic of a bygone era, a bridge between literature, craftsmanship and history. A unique piece that not only writes, but speaks - with every line, every detail, every touch.

Frank Pressentin is an artist who produces fine fountain pens and other writing instruments in his analog studio in Hamburg. His brand ELBWOOD - The Hanseatic Penmaker operates at the interface of applied art and design with international standards.

The focus of his work lies in the individual and small series production of high-quality writing instruments: Fountain pens, ballpoint pens and accessories.

The machines in the studio workshop are precise, old and mechanically analog. They are controlled by hand - not digitally. Frank Pressentin always works from solid material and designs directly on the lathe. The emotions are transferred to the work by hand - just like a sculptor. This ensures that no two pieces are the same. In his opinion, this is the only way to create truly unique pieces.

On request, Frank Pressentin can produce fountain pens and pencils according to your material and color preferences. In cooperation with other artists and craftsmen, there are no limits to the imagination. In any case, we recommend a personal consultation by phone or in writing.
