Why it's on GiftsFeed

Six-sided pen engraved with swirling lines inspired by van Gogh

Most pens are round because that's the easiest shape to manufacture and hold in a casual grip. But round barrels roll off tables, slip during pressure, and offer no tactile guidance for finger placement. The Squire Hex solves all three by giving you six flat sides that stay put, guide your grip, and distribute contact pressure across broader surfaces. The engraved pattern and indigo finish make it a special edition worth noticing, but the hexagonal profile is what makes it worth using. This is for people who write enough to feel the difference between a tool and an instrument.

Good gift when

  • People who write by hand frequently and notice how their pen feels
  • Anyone who wants a writing tool with visual presence
  • Those who prefer objects that combine function with distinctive design
  • Writers who find round barrels uncomfortable during long sessions

Skip it if This pen commands attention both visually and in the hand—if you prefer writing tools that disappear during use, a simpler barrel shape will feel less deliberate.

The details

The Squire Hex trades the round barrel you expect for six flat sides that give your fingers something to hold onto. That hexagonal profile isn't just geometry for its own sake—it settles into your grip without rolling, distributes pressure across broader contact points, and turns a writing tool into something you notice holding.

This special edition wraps that six-sided body in deep indigo blue and etches swirling lines into the surface, a visual nod to van Gogh's painting technique. The engraving catches light as the pen moves, adding texture under your fingertips and visual interest to an otherwise functional object.

The hex shape creates natural facets that guide finger placement. Whether you hold your pen loosely or with intent, the flat sides provide consistent reference points. The barrel weight balances toward the middle, keeping the nib from feeling either heavy or insubstantial as it moves across paper.

Because the pen doesn't roll, it stays put on sloped desks, notebooks, and conference tables. The engraved pattern gives the surface enough grip to prevent slipping during long sessions. The indigo finish shows wear over time, developing a patina where your hand makes contact most often.

This is a pen built for people who write enough to care about how the tool feels. The sculptural form and decorative engraving make it noticeable when it sits on a desk or in a bag pocket, but the real difference is in the hand—where the hexagonal barrel turns daily writing into something more deliberate.

Questions

What makes a hexagonal barrel different from a round one?
The six flat sides provide natural finger placement, prevent the pen from rolling on angled surfaces, and distribute grip pressure more evenly during extended writing. The shape creates tactile reference points that guide your hold without requiring conscious adjustment.
Will the engraved pattern wear off over time?
The pattern is etched into the barrel rather than applied on top, so it won't rub away. The indigo finish may develop a patina where your hand contacts the pen most often, which adds character rather than diminishing the engraving.
Is the hexagonal shape comfortable for long writing sessions?
The flat sides distribute contact pressure across broader areas of your fingers compared to a round barrel, which can reduce fatigue during extended use. The shape feels more deliberate in the hand, which some people find ergonomically preferable to a cylindrical grip.
Does this pen use standard refills?
Baron Fig has not specified refill compatibility in the product details. Contact the maker directly to confirm which ink cartridges work with the Squire Hex before purchasing if refill availability is a deciding factor.
