A unique piece of craftsmanship....

Some years ago I went to a lecture given by a top manager from computer giant IBM and during it he posed the question "how do you know when something's just right?" And his conclusion? - when it makes you smile.

And it's true, I realised, and I've used it as a yardstick ever since. And that's exactly what happened when I saw the Jigsaw fountain pen listed - it was so lovely I was smiling. And, having bought it, I just have to hold it and look at it and I cant help beaming from ear to ear. The craftsmanship is exquisite and it's easy to appreciate the skill required to assemble the tiny, laser-cut pieces of the eight different woods used to cover the barrel and cap, and the quality of the pen's body on which the jigsaw sits.

Pure craftsmanship and an absolute joy to use, and to smile at!
