The Natural Brass Brushed pen is the ultimate tool to capture thoughts and ideas. Each Brass pen is precision machined from a solid bar of Special Lead-Free Brass using state of the art manufacturing techniques then spun and polished by hand. The design is classic, simple and clean, which over time, oxidises and develops a rich and deep natural Patina. You can polish the Pen with a little some metal polish, but we suggest you just leave it and let the Pen evolve with you welcoming the marks of your Journey.

Another new addition is the Codex notebook (dotted or blank). With one page for each day, the MD Notebook Journal Codex is for chronicling each day of the year - the people, the places, the plans and the ideas. Codex binding with an exposed thread-stitched spine allows the journal to open flat from beginning to end for easy writing. The corner of each page tears off along a dotted line, providing a satisfying end to entries and making it easy to keep track of pages.
