“Banned” Decograph Special Release

Description

It’s been a while since we did a small batch, special release Decograph. Recently, we wrapped up inventory and ran across some Decograph bodies and caps that had been prepped for anodize and never sent. The decision was made to get these sent out, and we randomly chose matte red because we hadn’t done a matte red Decograph in a LONG time.

The Matte Red Decograph Special Release is our aluminum Decograph fountain pen that has been heavily tumbled and anodized with matte red anodize. The bodies, caps, and grips have all been anodized to match, but we’ve selected matte black clips and finials for this release to contrast with the red. We’ve resurrected the “Banned” name for this release which references a ban placed on a shoe in 1984 by the NBA against one of it’s most popular players at the time. Technically, the ban was never actually enforced, though there was communication back and forth between the commissioner and the team and Nike turned the incident into a hugely successful marketing campaign the following year. The “Banned” Decograph can be customized with your choice of nib size. Ships with a Schmidt K5 Converter and two Monteverde standard international cartridges.
