The ivory is obtained in the Siberian summer as melting ice flows release the ivory perfectly preserved in pure ice. All the ivory undergoes scientific scrutiny before export is allowed. The ivory is cut, ground and polished by Jurgen Schot the grand master of the guild of ivory carvers in the Odenwald region near Heidelberg. It is then inlaid in the Ebony heart wood barrel. The Pen of the Year 2006 is a plunger-fill fountain pen with an intricate bi-colour 18-carat gold nib. Each pen is individually numbered and supplied in an exclusive ivory-coloured wooden case together with a beautifully printed leaflet and a certificate that it is one of a limited edition. This bears the personal signature of the master craftsman Jürgen Schott and attests the quality of the ivory.
