These plastic pens from Germany are, as you might expect, beautifully engineered. We stock them in many colours, including sleek black. The nib is steel, with a medium point, which provides beautiful ink flow. I have been known to leave my pen sitting for weeks, and when I pick it up to use, the ink resumes flowing beautifully and consistently.

Delightful detail: Because a tiny bit of ink always remains right above the nib (in the queue, so to speak), when you change ink colours, your first few strokes have a mesmerizing ombré effect—which, alas, you cannot dependably duplicate.

Each pen comes with a royal blue cartridge tucked inside the barrel, eager to be of service. We stock boxes of refills (6 cartridges) in many rich colours. We also stock teeny-tiny converters so that you can refill your pen with bottled ink.

Pen colours are listed in the dropdown menu below in the order shown here, from left to right.

All pens are presented in our complimentary signature wrapping: a handmade Japanese paper bag, sealed with our favourite washi tape of the day.
