I’ve been using their products for years. They get better with time. I also gift them. If you’re looking for something unique and useful, this is it. Wide range of writing tools that others will love. Their customer service is next level.
So beautifully made! They were amazing at communication as well! I would definitely buy from again
Not for personal use but as a gift,
this unique pen should be of great use for someone who bis always writing or signing documents.
Has a smooth feeling and considering how easy it's to replace the ink I'll probably buy one for myself in the future.
I actually got my pen through a Kickstarter in 2023. The pen is just perfectly balanced in my hand — not too heavy, yet not too lightweight. The click of the bolt-action is very satisfying. It’s one of the best pens I’ve ever used. This really is something that I could pass on to the next generation.
I ended up losing the flat screw-on top and then the stylus screw-on top ripped. And I was also having trouble with an ink refill that was faulty. I was worried about possibly having to buy another pen just for those parts — not that it’s a bad thing! Then I remembered the guarantee.
I traded emails with Jessica Schumacher (the co-founder of Allegory) about replacement parts. She was on that in *TWO DAYS!* I wasn’t expecting that flat tops to cost $13 each (I got two, just in case). But that’s okay. She sent along three pen refills, too! I just never got a new screw-on stylus top. I’m still thinking about asking for another one or two.
The pen looks great in the wood finish. It’s a bit top heavy posted. The distance from the wooden body to the nib section is bit too long and the indent to the nib holding ferrule doesn’t allow for easy movement towards the nib.
I would prefer that the body tapered toward the nib section
I’m always looking for the perfect leather planner and this one is lovely. The leather is high quality and I can’t wait to break it in in 2026.
Great craftsmanship, I can’t wait to give this to my son in law for his collection for Christmas! Thank you!!
Perfect personalized handcrafted gift for that special someone in your life! The folks at Allegory are the BEST!
I received this padfolio as a gift from my dad and I love it! The quality of the product is amazing, and you can tell the quality craftsmanship and time that was spent in creating it. It looks really professional and is the perfect gift as I start to enter the business world. The team was also really communicative with my dad about delivery time, and was able to help resolve the issue! Overall 10/10 product with a 10/10 team would definitely recommend!!
For someone who writes constantly, I am highly satisfied with adding the 1937 Series Bold Limited Edition pen to my collection. The build quality is strong, the balance is precise, and the bolt-action mechanism operates smoothly, delivering a sense of nostalgia. One feature that would enhance the product is the option to engrave more than three characters. Highly Recommended!
I originally discovered Allegory's products as a Kickstarter and have since backed a few of their projects. When starting up my business and wanting to provide my team something a bit more high end than the typical mass produced notebooks and pens, I reached out to them to see what could be done. Jessica responded and was able to get customization done and my order processed within about a day. They showed up a few days later and were absolutely perfect. I literally couldn't be happier with the results and will be continuing to use them for every new employee I bring on.
I was very impressed with the quality and craftsmanship of this product! Absolutely recommend it to others!
As an avid history fan who grew up learning and researching history and World Wars and as someone who collects pens as mementos from places I’ve been this truly was the best of both worlds. The sheer craftsmanship and effort and dedication put into this pen truly shows on every inch of it. I had some questions regarding the item so I wrote an email and the customer service was genuinely incredible. To get a direct response from Jessica the Co-Founder of Allegory made me feel seen and heard as a potential customer. I would highly recommend this product or honestly anything from this company I can’t thank them enough for everything they do
Wonderfully made and I love that I finally have a folio that isn't uncomfortable to write in. Highly recommend.
This is the ideal companion for my Kauri wood pencil. I can slip it into the case and throw both of them into the bag with all the other stuff I take to the British Library when researching, without having to worry about the pen getting scuffed or scratched. (You have to give it the respect it's due, when it is over 40,000 years old.) And the case gains character through wear. I like the way that works. :-)
Both my sister and I are authors. She admired my Kauri wood pencil from Allegory, so I'm treating her to one as her Christmas present. Researching in archives you can only use pencils, and this one is a pleasure to use, with an excellent mechanism, and positive grip. Also, as a writer there is just something about having one of the tools of your trade that is 40-50,000 years old. It gives you a sense of perspective.
