Published: 1 month ago
@HermanKnivesOfficial new Epika pen is both stunningly beautiful and mechanically brilliant! Its new "Herman Ceramic Rotary Locking System (HCRLS)" moves unlike any pen I've experienced, and yet is so fun and fidgety! And just look at that engraving! This is by far one of the most compelling high-end pens on the market today.
