HisNibs.com update --Dragon Pearl June 14, 2009 Greetings everyone, Introducing our newest series from Jinhao...the Dragon Pearl. On the blog....Three interesting articles on the future of cursive and writing. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~in this issue * Jinhao Dragon Pearl series * On the blog...Cursive's future? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jinhao Dragon Pearl series http://www.hisnibs.com/DragonStoneGroupHand_small.jpg Often called the Dragon's Precious Pearl or Stone, the mythological connection between the dragon and the precious pearl apparently goes back millennia. The myth usually portrays the dragon as protecting the pearl, partially symbolized on these pens with the dragon's eyes seemingly transfixed by it. Measuring 5" capped, 5-1/4" posted and 5" with cap held aside, these hefty metal pens are clipless. So, unless the pen is left as your desk pen, you'll want to transport the pen in a secure, enclosed pocket, case or pen roll.
