RiK will’s Conway Stewart Winston Churchill is engraved greatness. You can quote us!
Everyone knows who Winston Churchill is. U.K.prime minister from 1940 to 1945 and again from 1951 to 1955, his rhetoric kept Londoners inspired during Nazi bombings of the city. A decorated war veteran in his own right, Sir Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill (Nov. 30, 1874–Jan. 24, 1965) was a brilliant leader whose words still remain some of the most quotable around. He also happened to be a pen lover, and Conway Stewart was one of his favorite brands.
When Rik Knablein, owner of RiKwill Pens, decided to make a pen to commemorate Winston Churchill, Conway Stewart seemed like the natural partner. He notes, “RiKwill has a long history of partnering with the Conway Stewart company in the creation of limited editions, so when I was looking for a new edition theme, the choice of a Conway Stewart Winston from the Churchill collection was natural.”
RiK will has made a business through savvy entrepreneurship. The company offers pens by partnering with other established companies to make unique versions of writing instruments. The partnership allows Knablein to more completely pursue the inspirations for his pens, and it gives him access to a great variety of pen sizes, styles, and materials.
