Decapod Fountain Pen | ||
Black refers to the color of this
pen. The Decapod is the shape. This name means ten feet or ten facets. "Cigar"
means without clip. "Writer" means with clip. Shown here is the Decapod Writer (With Clip) fountain pen in Black (Solid). | ||
 |
||
The facets of this fountain pen follow
from end to end in a long smooth curve. It is a shape that can be described by
pure geometry except that it is subtely more complex. In the end it is the eye
that this shape most satisfies. | ||
 | ||
The ten sided shape has another function.
Because it is not round in cross section it is not likely to roll off a desk.
The yellow pencil evolved from a cylinger shape to be a faceted. The Decapod gives
facets an entire new meaning. At 5 7/8" capped and weighing 18.5 grams dry
this pen is a pleaseure to hold. | ||
We provide a Platinum converter used to fill this pen with ink in either the simple form or the painted "goldfish" design for an additional $25.
Each of these nibs is suitable for our customization to extra flexible. The medium and broad tip can be customized by us into cursive italic, stub or oblique points. See below for the basic tip sizes of the Nakaya nibs as reported off of their web site. They run finer than their designation suggests. |
