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 subtly more complex. It is a shape that satisfies the eye and is a delight to hold. The raden glimmers in blue, green, red and violet depending on the angle that you see it. They are constantly changing in color as the pen is rotated.
Raden has been used on the barrels of fountain pens since the 20's and 30's. Sheaffer's made a pen in the mid 30's with larger chunks of abalone imbedded in the celluloid. It is durable, natural and beautiful.
The ends of this pen are beveled to finish the facets. Not only does this trim the cap and barrel end, but it also provides a rounder edge, more likely to wear evenly.
Not only does this pen delight the eye, it feels great in the hand.
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.
