The Broadside Ballpoint – A Signature Pen crafted from Mizunara

The moment you hold the Broadside Ballpoint, its impressive, hefty weight immediately conveys value and quality. Yet that weight is perfectly balanced, allowing for long, comfortable writing sessions without fatigue. This balance gives the pen a natural glide across the page — every stroke precise, every word imbued with intent.

The barrel is turned from Japanese Mizunara oak — famed for aging fine whisky — paired with a rich Antique Brass finish. The contrast is striking: the brass gleams with timeless strength, while the Mizunara offers a warm, tactile feel that almost seems to float in the hand, like holding an ergonomically refined whisky barrel.

Handcrafted by master penmaker Andrew Gelsey, this is the signature writing instrument of the Gelsey Pen Company — a tribute to craftsmanship, culture, and history. Smooth, perfectly weighted, and entirely unique, the Broadside Ballpoint is more than a pen. It’s a piece of living history.
