The Homo Sapiens fountain pen in Bronze Age is handmade from hardened basaltic lava sourced from the Mount Etna volcano in Italy, with a trim made of solid bronze, and it features a rose gold-plated oversized 18kt gold nib to match the trim color. Visconti lava is virtually unbreakable, comfortable and warm to the touch - and slightly hygroscopic, absorbing moisture from your hand. The basaltic lava is mixed with resin to create this pen.
The fountain pen caps by using the Visconti 'Hook Safe Lock', a revolutionary capping system so you can cap a pen without worrying about the cap accidentally unscrewing in your pocket or pen case, and leaking. The vacuum power filler is made of titanium to resist ink corrosion. The Homo sapiens fountain pen can also be customized with the magnetized MyPen System, such as natural stones, zodiac signs, or initials that you can swap into the finial in place of the Visconti logo coin.
Please note: Images show pen with older 23kt Palladium nib which is no longer available.
"The pen had trouble on the upstrokes at first. After sending in the pen for a fix, the pen writes great now (Great customer service from Anderson Pens!).
I love the material of the pen and the palladium nib is a pleasure to write with.
""Dreamtouch"" is true to the word. The nib writes without pressure with a nice spring."
