Our first writing tool, since the Bow-Shackle Pen in 2017. It's a testament to our love for the extraordinary. Inspired by the heavy ballasts of ships, The Ballast Pen is designed to anchor your thoughts through creative journeys.
Machined from a brick of solid brass, this pen is heavy. Each line you write requires the deliberate effort of your entire arm. Probably the heaviest pen you have ever used, (or will ever use). It is Borderline ridiculous. But it is also Extremely smooth. What else would you expect from a pen that weighs more than 50x* a disposable alternative?
A Stainless Steel and Brass Deployment Mechanism — like nothing you have clicked in the past, the deployment mechanism of the Ballast pen is COMPLETELY metal. Every single component of this pen is machined to within one-thousandth of an inch. Clicks are satisfying and smooth. Inspired by ritual, the deployment clicks of The Ballast Pen, are a trademark of this writing instrument.

We launched the Captain's Whistle on Kickstarter and our campaign was successfully funded with over 6800% of the funding goal. With the help of 454 amazing backers, we were able to make this dream a reality.
Machined from solid brass, the Captain's Whistle is a staple of any nautical kit. Engineered to perform and built to last. With a design rich in efficiency, the Captain's Whistle will increase your audible sound levels over distances not achievable with voice, cutting through any background noise, or weather. The beautiful opening in the body reduces the amount of exhalation effort required to generate an audible whistle signal.
We have taken our inspiration—the Bow-Shackle—and transformed it along with our other components into our own signature hardware. To do this, we had to learn a little bit of just about everything from boat building, design, and engineering to metal machining. Our signature shackles are found in each style of our whistles, our pens, and our other products.
With a perfected design rich in heritage, the Captain's Whistle increases your audible sound levels over distances not achievable with voice, cutting through any background noise, or weather. The beautiful opening in the body reduces the amount of exhalation effort required to generate an audible whistle signal.
Oceanus Brass was inspired by the Bow-Shackle. With it, a sailor can quickly adapt rigging and sail components to move in any desired direction, into the vast known and unknown spaces of ocean stretched out across the globe. With it, we too choose our own course.
Setting off with our small vessel and crew, we seek to chase new inspirations, to develop a thriving trade of goods that can accompany you on your journeys, and to inspire the dreaming that leads you to your way.
To onward and upward,
