Awesome Pen That Writes in Metal
The pen with an endless supply of metal “ink”. The stainless steel pen features 6.25” long x 0.375″ diameter, a special metal alloy tip and an anodized aluminum barrel, making it just much more awesome.
The Endless Ink Pen is a hybrid of pens and pencils. Its special metal alloy tip means that this pen has an endless supply of “ink”, never dry up, cannot smudge or leak, never needs to be sharpened and does not need a cap. However, if you wish for a finer point or if the point becomes slightly blunt, you can ‘sharpen’ it again using sandpaper.
If you use the sort of paper typically used in printers and photocopiers, the pen leaves a mark that looks as if it was made by a pencil. In fact, the Endless Ink Pen works flawless on nearly any normal writing surface, glossy papers and even wet conditions. It can also write upside down. However, the only surfaces that has shown issues are on newsprint and cardboard. It is advisable not to drop the pen onto a hard surface, otherwise you may snap the nib off.
Perhaps, the only drawback would be that if you make a mistake, you would not be able to erase it. If you are planning to write the definitive 21st century novel, I would recommend a regular pen. However, fostering innovation and as a scientific curiosity, I like the Inkless Metal Pen. The awesome pen could be your “Companion for Life”
Super jazzed about getnitg that know-how.

I have been summoned! First off, I should say my thing is modern fountain pens because I tend to prefer the non-traditional colors., but I’d have to know more about the character to know what kind of pen.There’s basically four countries making the bulk of the higher-end pens these days:1) Germany: Montblanc, some of the newer Montegrappa, Pelikan, Lamy. There’s also some pens made in Germany that I think of as American brands at the very high end, but they’re made in Germany: Michel Perchin and David Oscarson. 2) France: Parker, Waterman, Dupont, and I believe Cartier. These tend to be nicer pens at the higher end, but there’s few that are particularly distinguished. Most of those are from Dupont.3) Japan: Pilot/Namiki, Sailor, Platinum, Nakaya (my favorite). Very nice hand-made pens at the high end ($1000 and up to many thousands), but most of the stuff under that price point are nice reliable pens but nothing special.4) Italy: Visconti, Stipula, Aurora, Omas, Montegrappa, Delta, Tibaldi, and one line of Sheaffer. I personally think that an otherwise-impoverished artiste would find her pen here. I’ll give a couple of examples.A Visconti Van Gogh is probably the most bling for the buck. It’s a nice, reliable pen for $295 (list), and each one is injected plastic and thus formed differently. I have seen people at our local art store fawning over which specific one to get. Here’s a picture of one of the colors (there’s currently five or six):If she’s really a pen person and would like a more traditional filling system such as a piston filler, the Stipula Etruria in celluloid is a beautiful pen. It holds about twice as much ink as the Visconti, but is about the same size. It’s probably the best value in a celluloid piston filler; most of the others I’ve seen (e.g. Omas and Visconti) run twice as much. The Stipula retails for $600 but can commonly be found for $400-$500. (The price was $400, and now that the Euro’s better, it’ll probably drop):Comparison of the Etruria (front) to the Van Gogh (rear). I personally prefer the Etruria; many of us don’t like the feel of metal sections (the part you hold), but recognize it does help keep from getting the pretty plastic or celluloid stained.The Van Goghs come in more interesting colors BUT Visconti and Stipula are tiny companies: fewer than 30 people. Visconti’s headquarters, including manufacturing, are in an old Duke’s palace near Florence.Ink.Well, there’s a loaded question. One of the reasons to use a fountain pen is ink choices. A lot of artists like the classic black, and like super-fine lines (because it gives them more control). Aurora Black, Noodler’s Old Manhattan Black, Noodler’s Heart of Darkness, and Noodler’s Borealis Black are the blackest of the blacks.For color range, Diamine, Private Reserve, J. Herbin, and Noodler’s make the best ranges of colors. I prefer Noodler’s because they’re the only ones who make bulletproof inks that are waterproof, bleach-proof, lightfast, and bond chemically to the paper. Since I write longhand, accidental spills are a concern.I have a few inks.Some of them glow under black light. One is invisible under normal light. Some were made for Russia or India or Singapore. Most of my inks are Noodler’s simply because I like writing in a different color every day.I’m sure I’ve only opened a can of worms, so ask away.
