TypeVisconti Homo Sapiens Skylight Steel Age Fountain Pen

The Homo Sapiens is handmade from hardened basaltic lava sourced from the Mount Etna volcano in Italy, with a trim made of solid bronze. 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 Skylight Steel Age version of the Homo Sapiens Pen features a crystal window that allows the user to see into the ink chamber. 

The pen caps 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 and leaking. The fountain pen's vacuum power filler is made of titanium to resist ink corrosion, and it features a dark oversized 18k gold nib to match the trim color.

Nib size: Medium
