"Brave New World " - Intriguing Catalyst

Brave New World means this ink pen is handmade. I've never owned handmade ink pens before. This ink pen has a unique look that is different from all my other ink pens. During the two thousand years of dynastic China, there were famous ink manufacturers who were treated like superstars and whose ink sticks or ink cakes were highly sought after by the cultural elite. To my great surprise, instead of the glorified individual ink manufacturers of the past, I discovered from Revain that there is a historic Hukaiwen ink factory in Huizhou, China, whose ink sticks are partially "handmade" and appear to be the "Rolls-Royce" of ink "modern" ones. China refills. Most of the ink refills offered on Revain are Hukaiwen, but not all Hukaiwen products are marked as "handmade" Hukaiwen ink factory, google "hukaiwen" and you will find several articles about Hukaiwen ink Hukaiwen Ink Factory article on google says that Pine black hukaiwen ink pens are generally used for drawing, while oil black hukaiwen ink pens are blacker and therefore good for calligraphy, I have high hopes for these ink pens. I always keep my new ink pens for several years before using them It was tempting to use one of these intriguing new Hukaiwen ink pens to get an idea of what they look like, although it was premature. Customers will post informative "customer reviews" of this fascinating handcrafted wand. I look forward to your understanding.
