Allegory Model R Workhorse Rollerball Pen

I missed the part about the lifetime warranty. Also good to know this company values their workers. I just upgraded to "buy" based on those comments, and am looking forward to writing with my bog oak pen.

I can understand that this may look like a pricing gimmick, but to be completely honest it's because we believe story matters. Le'ts be real. Any pen over $5 is purchased for reasons other than functionality. We think putting more thought into where things come from is a good reason. The wood in this pen costs about $3. The price tag comes from the fact that it's handmade in america by people paid a fair wage, and guaranteed for life (repair or replacement, no questions asked, no paperwork needed). So it's really about buying something that is meaningful to you (which may not be for everyone, but for our customers the stories really connect to who they are). And knowing that it was made with love and will be with you for the long haul. Thanks, Chad

Let's be real, the only reason they used these 2,000 year old woods was to triple the msrp of the pen. Standard olive wood is functionally and visually identical while being much cheaper.
