Gold/gunmetal Sirocco pen kits back in stock

Phil - 2 May 2019 09:00:00Other articles...

We're mightily relieved to see these kits back in stock after running out over Easter.

Our hugely popular gold & gunmetal Sirocco pen kits are back in stock - Phew!

The Beaufort Sirocco is the original British designed pen kit to use Sierra compatible tubes. What's the advantage of Sierra compatible tubes? Well, it means that all the masses of pen blanks out there, cast on Sierra tubes by the many, many blank makers in the pen making comunity, will all fit a Sirocco pen kit. The major difference between a Sirocco and a Sierra though is, apart from being smaller, better balanced and less weighty, it's mechanism is mounted in the finial, not down the bottom in the nib section. It means that it's easier to access the refill, and it's, well, smaller, better balanced and less weighty. It also has a mechanism that's as smooth as butter.

The Sirocco pen kit is supplied with a Parker style Beaufort Ink refill as standard, and is available in a choice of 7 different platings.

About The Authors

Our market leading Mistral pen kits are the only pen kits avialable worldwide with truly matching fountain pen, rollerball, ballpoint and pencil. Each type of kit is available to buy individually, so that you can create a matched set of pens (or pen and pencil) in any combination you choose.

Why is that a thing? Well, if you offer a rollerball to someone who normally uses a fountain pen, they're likely to turn up their nose. Fountain pen people simply don't write with rollerballs, and rollerball people don't write with fountain pens. And yet, if you look around at pen kits, that all you can usually get - a fountain pen matched with a rollerball. What pen owners want is a matching fountain pen and a pencil, or maybe a rollerball and a pencil, or perhaps a fountain pen and a ballpoint. You get the picture. They'll use them both, but they're extremely unlikely to use them both if the pens are a fountain pen and a rollerball.

Mistral pen kits were designed by us, from the bottom up, to offer matching pens and pencils in any combination. They're not just modified as an afterthought, they were designed right from the start to look the same.

You can mix and match with Mistral pen kits. They're high quality kits, not just cheap offerings with cheap plating and cheap mechanisms. And they do match. And that's the point.
