Gee shares how a one-person machine shop for automobiles (Karas Kustoms) turned into a fountain pen brand called Karas Pen Co. Tom and I ask Gee about how she went from the pharmaceutical industry to the pen industry and how her life changed for the better because of fountain pens. We talk about the designs of the heavy metal Karas pens, the antimicrobial benefits of writing with a copper pen, and the perks to joining the Karas Pen Club.
