The Anvil EDCs are dressed in silver maple and are going to a fellow Veteran and his wife at Ross Forge in Texas. Justin offered to trade a hand forged belt knife for matching shop pens for himself and his wife. That’s an easy trade to make, and these pens came out incredible! The Anvil EDC, by the way, is a sturdy, well built pen, and should withstand the rigors of daily use in a forge just fine.
My pens, by the way, come with a lifetime guarantee. If you break the wood or the mechanism, simple return the pen and I’ll repair or replace it free of charge.
