About the Hinze Brand
Hinze Pens are handmade in Texas by Jim Hinze, built for collectors who want something truly personal—no automation, traditional tools, and every pen written with and tuned by hand before it ships. Expect gorgeous in-house poured resins, premium details, and plenty of Pen Chalet exclusives—from bold colorways like the B24 Majestic Mermaid (with matching electroplated #6 nib) to limited runs like the Elementar in Sedona Sands paired with a #6 JoWo nib. Plus, many Hinze models are easy daily writers with a cartridge/converter system that supports Standard International and often includes a converter in the box.
Hinze Pen Company creates beautiful, handmade pens by Jim Hinze. Over 15 years of experience led to a dedication to hands-on design and manufacturing. By avoiding automation or computer-driven manufacturing methods, Hinze Pens is able to dedicate their energy to embracing traditional tools and methods that mean each pen is made by hand, and each pen is written with and tuned by hand prior to shipping from their Texas workshop.

Customer Reviews
This pen writes very smoothly. I think someone made sure that was the case before they shipped it out. The ink is beautiful, with a lot of shimmer. I actually inked the pen with a standard ink, because I didn't want to risk damaging a pen I like, but I'm happy to have the ink in my collection because it's very pretty.
