Knurling is a “jagged” machining process to notch or serrate metal and is often used on dial knobs for home appliances and similar parts to provide grip. The pattern created by the fine indentations has great visual impact.
Laurett’s is a product brand created by Maruyasu Seiki Co., Ltd., a company that specializes in machining exterior parts of exquisite beauty with a focus on precise knurling, which has been a signature technology since the company’s founding.

About Products
Uses the same method used to make high class car pieces.
Since our founding, we have created items that use knurling that is found in high class cars, and uses material found on planes, which culminate in beautiful pieces of craftsmanship.
Products from the Laurett’s brand use an extra shine milling that is used on dials found in high class cars.
We have since our founding used our knowhow and techniques to bring the best quality goods possible.From there we feel we make goods that are stylish.
This knurling process is used on a lot of dials that require precision, as the dials are easier to grip with the rutted edges. They also look stylish which is another plus!
What’s more, the knurling process that we use for Laurett’s goods is even more time consuming that normal cutting, as we cut each line one by one carefully.
We want to convey this beauty of the knurling pattern, and by doing this method, we can increase the shine of the edges and just by looking at it, you can think that it is beautiful. We have been refining this method for over 50 years since our founding.
Product Lineup
Stealthread Fountain Brush Pen / Fountain Pen
Nearly all parts are made by machining. “Stealth” and “Thread” are combined to represent the “hidden thread” structure (registered utility model*) used to make it appear as if there were no threading. It retains its beautiful design whether the cap is put on for storage or posted on the back end of the pen when in use. We hope you will enjoy the mysterious experience of this “invisible thread that grips the cap” and the profound precision machining that “provides warmth and softness despite being made of metal.”
We hope you will experience this one-of-a-kind mechanism and the superior quality feel of our products achieved with this exquisite machining.
No thread but smooth closing “Stealth Thread Cap”
The cap on the pen has now thread but can be easily capped.
This is a speciality that we use to create the cap of the pen, the Stealth Cap.This means that we are able to create an even more beautiful design, while also at the same time allowing you to use the cap on the tail of the pen!
Lightweight and durable made from the same material used on planes.
The parts that we use are all parts that have been whittled down. They are the same material, such as duralumin and titanium that is used to create planes, due to their durability and being lightweight. It means that you are able to have superior control over the brush while also being light.
When you touch the pen you may think, “It’s metal, but it feels soft and warm”. This feeling is created with the help of the depth from using precision cutting methods.

The Japanese Fountain Brush Pen is much like a fountain pen, in that you can change out the ink cartridge and basically use it forever, as well as being like a ball pen and being usable for informal note taking and so on.

You are only held back by your imagination with the styles of writing and drawing you do with this pen, so let it help you to meet a whole new world of calligraphy and illustration!
