About Us
Grayson Tighe is a world-renowned Canadian pen designer and craftsman whose journey began in 2000, when, at just 18 years old, he established his eponymous company and earned recognition as the youngest professional pen designer and maker in the world.
Growing up immersed in artisanal craft, Grayson learned the fundamentals of precision metalwork alongside his father, renowned custom knife designer Brian Tighe. This early mentorship helped shape his aesthetic and technical skill, laying the foundation for a career defined by exceptional artistry and innovative design.
Today, a Grayson Tighe writing instrument is prized by collectors and connoisseurs internationally for its timeless design, extraordinary precision, and masterful use of materials. Titanium, with its strength, lightness, and unique ability to take on rich color through heat treatment, is Tighe’s signature metal. He also works with rare and luxurious materials such as fossil ivory, damascus steel, mokumé-gané, sterling silver, and precious metals—each chosen for its integrity and expressive potential.
Tighe’s craftsmanship extends beyond traditional penmaking: his work includes highly bespoke, one-of-a-kind pieces sculpted freehand under magnification, showcasing intricate textures and fine details that blur the line between functional instrument and wearable art.
His reputation for excellence has led to exclusive collaborations with luxury brands, most notably a longstanding partnership with the Swiss watchmaker Blancpain, for whom he has designed several limited-edition collections that reflect the precision and aesthetic values of haute horlogerie.
Collectors also recognize Tighe’s contributions to the craft with numerous accolades, including multiple Readers’ Choice Awards from Pen World Magazine, and his pens often achieve strong collector interest on the secondary market due to their scarcity and artistic value.
With an artist’s eye for creativity and an entrepreneur’s drive to push the boundaries of his medium, Grayson Tighe continues to set standards in the world of luxury writing instruments—each piece a testament to meticulous handwork, timeless style, and the enduring appeal of the handwritten word.
