In the beginning Michael produced the Traveling Writers...
Dr Michael Knott - The Pen Maker
(for Traveling Writers 001 to 031, ending 2012)
Dr. Michael Knott
Ph.D/Engineering
Tuddenham St. Martin, Ipswich, Suffolk
Last Employment: Technical Director/Major European Manufacturing Company
Employment Ended: 2002
Reason: Mysterious Disabling Condition
Two years after Michael's sudden onset of health problems his condition was finally diagnosed as M.E. He never returned to work! By 2009 the conditions had worsened and Michael lay critically ill and unconscious in an intensive care unit where he also suffered a stroke. From then to the present Dr. Knott has had no feeling or sensation in his lower arms, hands, and legs.
The doctors issued a terrible verdict and sentence over our "Jedi Pen Master!" "You will never work with your hands and arms again!" He decided otherwise! To see some of the ongoing results visit Michael's personal website www.woodjoypens.co.uk and check out what "never using your hands" looks like. The handcrafted pens turned by his numb hands/fingers are amazing creations. You will receive an eye opening and humbling testimony to the power of mind over agony and spirit over insurmountable odds. The Traveling Writer has been humbled, inspired, and privileged with Michael's friendship. His pens are awesome relics we are honored to own.
