Our Story

Pamlico Pen Company
Write Your Story. Leave Your Mark.
At Pamlico Pen Company, we believe a great pen doesn’t just write, it tells a story.
Born on the banks of the Pamlico River in Washington, North Carolina, our company was founded with one mission: to create meaningful, handcrafted writing tools that connect people to their purpose, heritage, and voice.
We design pens that say something. About who you are. Where you’re going. And what matters most. That create stories!
Crafted with Local Soul
We don’t just make pens, we craft keepsakes.
Many of our pens are made from locally sourced woods gathered from around the Pamlico Sound and surrounding areas. Every grain carries history. From driftwood and longleaf pine to exotic hardwoods, each barrel is shaped with care, precision, and respect for the story it holds.
Our designs are inspired by the rich heritage of Eastern North Carolina, home to Native American tribes, English settlers, maritime explorers, and yes… even pirates like Blackbeard who once roamed the waters near the Outer Banks. The region’s bold spirit, natural beauty, and layered past flow through every piece we make.
More Than a Pen. A Purpose.
Whether you’re journaling a new chapter, signing a milestone contract, or gifting someone special, a Pamlico pen is built to last and made to mean something.
We’re proud to support our community, especially the heroes who serve and protect it. Through dedicated partnerships, we contribute to the Police Benevolent Foundation a law enforcement organization. It's North Carolina chapter helps support the families of fallen officers and those in need.
Every pen you purchase plays a small part in a bigger mission, honoring legacy, empowering service, and lifting voices that deserve to be heard.
