Utilic - MOKUME GANE EDITION

photo: bright new Mokume Gane ready to be machined, etched, and contrasted.<br><br>Mokume Gane, or “woodgrained metal,” is an ancient Japanese process where layers of contrasting metal are forged into one, then deformed and re-forged again and again until intricate, twisted, swirling “woodgrain” effects appear in the metal. Mokume can also be chemically etched, creating a lovely, organic texture that accentuates the swirling material.<br><br>As the material ages and patinas, the color differences between the alloys increase significantly.<br><br>I am taking orders for a limited number of Utilic pens made of a brass/copper/nickel silver Mokume Gane. <br><br>These pens are nearly identical to the standard Utilic, with the small alteration that they will be ever so slightly larger to start (.032”/.8mm larger in diameter in all components), giving room to etch texture into them<br><br>Mokume Gane Edition pens are available in two variants: <br><br>+Heirloom: Mokume Gane barrel with brass cap and section <br>+Compleat: Mokume for the section, barrel, and cap, all machined from the same bar.<br><br>Both versions come in special heirloom wooden container, made in shop.
