Description
Tom and I discussed one of our first beloved pens in this week's pen discussion when we started the fountain pen hobby. Then, as we talked about a variety of Edison pens, we started a debate. Does the term "handmade" fit these pens? Or, is it more accurate to say "hand-finished." Tom shares some of his experiences at the Lamy and Pelikan factories in Germany to describe the differences in manufacturing pens.
