I'll bet you can guess where this wood species got its name. Pound for pound, snakewood is one of the most expensive species on the planet. It only grows in the coastal regions of northeastern South America and is extremely dense.

The slimline format has the best ergonomics in my opinion. If you're planning to hand-write a ponderous tome or your New Years Resolution is to journal every day, this is the one for you. It doesn't command as much attention atop a desk as a Rollerball, but what it lacks in conspicuousness it makes up for in utility.
