My pens are for those who enjoy writing first, and collecting pens second. It's my hope that you will enjoy the pens I sell enough to seek out more, and maybe look at those really beautiful, expensive collectible pens that we like to drool over.

We're excited to welcome back Donnie Grady of Pamlico Pen Co. to the Triangle Pen Show from June 4-7! He's such a great guy, and has a wide variety of fun pens for you!

Here's a description from his website:

Born on the banks of the Pamlico River in Washington, North Carolina, our company was founded with one mission: to create meaningful, handcrafted writing tools that connect people to their purpose, heritage, and voice.

We design pens that say something. About who you are. Where you’re going. And what matters most. That create stories!

Crafted with Local Soul

We don’t just make pens, we craft keepsakes.

Many of our pens are made from locally sourced woods gathered from around the Pamlico Sound and surrounding areas. Every grain carries history. From driftwood and longleaf pine to exotic hardwoods, each barrel is shaped with care, precision, and respect for the story it holds.

Our designs are inspired by the rich heritage of Eastern North Carolina, home to Native American tribes, English settlers, maritime explorers, and yes… even pirates like Blackbeard who once roamed the waters near the Outer Banks. The region’s bold spirit, natural beauty, and layered past flow through every piece we make.
