The Squire By Baron Fig (Sponsor)

All good paper needs a good pen to capture ideas with, and Baron Fig's latest creation, The Squire, aims to be the perfect pen compliment to a wonderful paper lineup.

The Squire features an ultra-minimal barrel, cut from a solid block of high-grade aluminum and precision weighted to perfection. It uses a twist mechanism to deploy the ink cartridge, a subtle taper towards the smooth grip area for added comfort, and a just right length that falls between your favorite pocket pen and standard length pens.

The project is currently live on Kickstarter, where you can choose your Squire with a Silver or Charcoal barrel and even add in a Limited Edition Squire Logo Confidant notebook.

Every notebook needs a sword. Make yours The Squire.
