On the very high end, Graf von Faber Castell has been selling their "perfect pencil" [1] for a couple of years now. It's platinum-clad (or something similar) and comes with a built-in sharpener for around $260. Refills are some $10 per pencil. A cheaper, plastic version sells for around $15. As far as I can tell, luxury writing instruments have remained an extremely small niche. Apart from Montblanc, perhaps Caran d'Ache and very few others, most brands aren't well-known outside of it. In a less unneccessarily luxurious price bracket, Kickstarter sees quite a lot of pen projects. Most revolve around minimalist design and/or using interesting materials like titanium. Reception seems, as far as I can tell, so-so. [1] http://www.graf-von-faber-castell.com/writing-instruments/perfect-pencil http://www.graf-von-faber-castell.com/writing-instruments/pe...
