Sailor recovers this precious substance in high-end pieces such as the King of Pens Black Ebonite GT fountain pen, a spectacular writing tool with a body and cap made of black ebonite, a soft touch and a glossy finish that contrasts chromatically with the lustrous brilliance of its decorative elements made of 24-karat gold-plated metal.
