Kānaka Maoli refers to the indigenous Polynesian people of the Hawaiian Islands or their descendants. The Native Hawaiians trace their ancestry back to the original Polynesian settlers of Hawaii.
The Kanaka Maoli, warriors and fishermen, are now a minority, however, parts of their culture are still alive, like the Hula dance accompanied with traditional music, the gestures of martial arts and the ancient art of the Lomi massages. Their language, which today does not have any official acknowledgment, resembles in some way that of the Tahitians or the Maori from New Zealand.
The pen is turned by hand from a solid bar of a new and special resin created to include the most widespread colors in this splendid archipelago. In the top of the cap an engraved medal is placed portraying the famous icon of these marvelous islands, the turtle. Also placed in the cap a ring portraying the well known Hawaiian flower lei and a clip depicting an old Kanaka warrior’s mask. The extremity of the pen body is in metal and is shaped as the Hawaiian tribal drums. All these characterizing elements are created using the traditional handcraft technique known as “lost-wax” casting process.
The pen is made in an edition of 1.898 numbered pieces. This capless roller can easily be transformed in a ballpoint pen by switching the refill.
The pen uses the standard "Parker" size refills, which allows for ballpoint ink and fluid ink. Suitable refills can be found
