Never Second-Guessing Wood Pens Again

Like the title says, I thought I was a metal-pen-man for life: I own two solid-metal-machined pens that I love - my Excalibur, which is my work pen, and my Embercleave, which occupies my planner. Yes, I name my pens. Deal with it. Anyway, I thought I'd get a pen with some history to go with the journal that I'd use to track my own history. Having worked with them on the aforementioned planner, Allegory readily came to mind for the task. The result of my request is a pen lighter than either Excalibur or Embercleave, but perfectly balanced by the metal fixings on either end; it is a joy to write with or spin around as a fidget. I picked the ancient bog oak for its regal dark wood, and I honored that history by naming it Naegling, after the ancient sword Beowulf brings with him into his final confrontation. My love for this fine implement demands, however, that I show it greater care than Beowulf did its namesake. The Ancients are small pieces of our world's vast history - even if the pen is light, that's weight of a different kind. If you're willing to bear it, you'll find an able companion that will not easily let you down, as long as you pay it the proper attention.
