Walking into an important meeting requires an elegant writing instrument and an impressive portfolio for taking notes. Taking notes by hand signals you are paying attention and know this is important. The Hammann family hass been making leather good since the 1840's, and they know what they are doing.

When you need to take an important note or sign a life-changing document, you want a pen that will make a classic statement. The Supra Brass from Kaweco does this in a few ways: the brass material means it will become uniquely yours through its patina (your hand will shape how it looks) and the metal can be allowed to darken over time or maintain its shiny exterior with a little brass polish. The Supra is suited well for both long and short form writing (whether taking notes at an important meeting or signing a quick document) with its versitle sizing.
