Detail
Homo Sapiens is a stunning pen from Visconti. The barrel is made from basaltic lava from Mt. Etna in Sicily. This material has a matt dark grey finish; is virtually unbreakable, heatproof to over 100 degrees C and slightly hygroscopic; which means that it can absorb moisture from your hand. This last property in combination with the warm and surprisingly soft feel of the material means that this pen has a unique quality to the touch.
All metal parts are high-quality polished bronze for superb wear properties. The clip is fully-sprung.
The twist-action retract mechanism deploys a broad black refill. The refill is 'Parker-style' and we have a huge range of alternative refills.
Supplied gift-boxed.
Customise this pen with the Visconti MPS System, adding initials, zodiac symbols or natural stones.
