The Monteverde Dakota fountain pen is compact when closed, but a full-sized pen when posted. The Slip-In cap has an oh-so-satisfying feel. This fountain pen features a flame- kissed stainless steel barrel and cap, with silver trim and a JoWo #5 steel nib.
The Raw Flame variant of the Monteverde Dakota is a true masterpiece, achieved through a specialized process of hand-flaming the stainless steel barrel. The metal, when subjected to these high temperatures, creates a unique, one of a kind rainbow effect. As the flame dances across the surface, it produces an extraordinary spectrum of colors that seem to glow from within.
The result is a pen that radiates with an array of iridescent tones, shifting and changing depending on the angle of the light. The colors evoke the intense heat and brilliance of a fire glow, with deep blues, purples, and rich fiery oranges and reds. The process of achieving this finish is incredibly intricate and challenging, requiring a high level of skill and precision. Each Raw Flame pen is unique, as the pattern and distribution of colors are the direct result of the flame’s interaction with the stainless steel, ensuring no two pens are exactly alike.
Due to the complexity of the manufacturing process, minor imperfections can sometimes occur during the hand-flaming, adding even more character and uniqueness to each pen. These slight variations in the finish—whether subtle shifts in color or irregularities in the pattern—are a testament to the handcrafted nature of the pen. Rather than detracting from the overall design, these imperfections contribute to its individuality, ensuring that every Raw Flame Dakota has its own personality, making it impossible to replicate. The pen is finished with chrome trim, which not only complements the hues with its reflective shine but also adds a sleek, modern touch, creating a perfect blend of raw intensity and refined elegance.
Inspired by the shape of the fuselage of the magnificent Douglas C-47 Skytrain, also known as Dakota, which played a pivotal role during World War II, the Monteverde USA® Dakota collection pays homage to the 80th anniversary of the end of this historic conflict on September 2, 1945.
