The model for this case is the surgeon’s flatware roll from the time when they were still called barber-surgeons. The case was designed to display its contents, quickly and at a glance. Without drawing out the analogy between the surgeon’s art and literary craftsmanship … it can’t be denied that a sentence has a certain "anatomy", that can be spoiled by a false incision, the smallest of which may harbour a danger that in the end, the sentence will have to be issued a death certificate by the speech pathologist … At any rate, we recommend the case for several reasons: Firstly, the practical matter, that upon opening the case five writing implements stand at attention, secondly, the aesthetic consideration, namely it’s made of handsome cleanly sewn cow leather and goat suede, and finally the justice it does to the safe keeping of your writing implements.
