Visconti Homo Sapiens Fountain Pen – Dark Age Extra-Fine

The Homo Sapiens is handmade from hardened basaltic lava sourced from the Mount Etna volcano in Italy, with an all-black trim. 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 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 an oversized black 18k gold nib to match the trim color.
