This is a King Wood slimline Twist ballpoint pen with an inlayed silver maple veneer stripe. It's made with 24K gold plated accents and a black stripe clip. The pen uses a Cross® style refill that features a premium Swiss-made carbide writing tip for smooth consistent writing. To replace the refill, pull off top of pen above the center band and twist out the refill. A highly polished lacquer finish was used to protect the wood. These hand made pens and pencils make wonderful gifts and are absolute treasures to own!
