It has now been just over two years since I first reviewed a pen from Shibui North and since then Ruth Bolton’s range has changed and expanded. Come late 2022 I reviewed the first of her pocket pens, the Kitsune (in Japanese folklore a manipulative, magic possessing, shape shifting, multi-tailed fox). Come her first pen show appearance, October in London, an expanded range of PVD and Cerakote coated pens were on display. None quite appealed to me, however come the Spring 2023 show one did, a copper pocket pen.
