Visconti Homo Sapiens - Crystal Dream Bronze Age Fountain Pen

Visconti came up with a new Homo Sapiens, a total black demonstrator collection: Dark Crystal. This fountain pen combines a blend of resin and lava powder with some Homo Sapiens Dark Age features, like shiny black metalwork and 18kt ruthenium finished nib. The transparent barrel is in sync with the dark theme, having a special smoky effect.

The mixture of resin and lava powder makes the pen practically unbreakable. The barrel of the HS Dark Crystal is made of transparent smoked resin and is engraved with the name of the collection.

Made of polished black brass, the iconic clip and the Visconti logo stand out against the black and ivory set-up. The logo on the cap of the pen picks up the dark color of the whole writing instrument but can be personalized thanks to Visconti's Mypensystem.

Each lava pen is made from small parts up to 8 cm long that undergo special techniques using dedicated machines. All metal and transparent parts are polished by hand, while the resin and basaltic lava parts are processed to a characteristic leather/soft feel.

Dedicated to all those who are looking for a functional and elegant writing instrument, enhanced with technical and stylistic features that make it a unique object of its kind, the new Dark Crystal is equipped with the famous bayonet closure and the power filler double reservoir that guarantees a long writing session, and also protection against accidental ink spilling thanks to the two separate chambers.

This pen comes equipped with the ruthenium-plated Visconti - 18kt gold nib. You can choose the nib from the 5 sizes available: Extra Fine, Fine, Medium, Broad, and Stub 1.3mm. The 18k gold nib is made in-house by Visconti and offers a true and original writing experience.

They made my order very special

This pen purchase was to mark a milestone in my life - something very personal. Something I survived. I saved for years and Pen Venture had the best deal when I was ready to buy. However, they went above and beyond to make my first purchase a wonderful experience. In a day and age when customer service seems to be nonexistant, included with my order was a personal, handwritten note that took time, care, and effort. I cannot express how much that gesture is appreciated. They also checked the nib and added in the personal initials for the pen - a bonus that made me tear up with gratitude! That personal touch is something I will never forget. Thank you for making my first purchase with Pen Venture memorable and special. It certainly will not be my last!

An amazing pen

Amazing All Around

I love everything about this pen! I can honestly say that the customer service I received from Emy made the experience so much better! He took the time to carefully tune the nib before sending it to me with a handwritten note and even added a personal detail to my pen that I greatly appreciated. The pen writes incredibly smooth and wet. Shipping was quick and the pen was well packaged. Overall, one of the best pen and customer services I've ever had.

Great Experience

Great pen and even better service from Pen Venture. Will certainly be ordering from them again. Quick shipping and even got a hand written thank you note (such a nice personal touch).

Excellent

Very interesting pen, well balanced and with a clip that helps to carry in the jacket pocket. Excellent article

Pilot Urushi perfection

Magnificent in its simplicity. The nib is tuned to perfection. The perfect size for most hands. A smooth no feedback nib that is very forgiving and is left hand friendly. The Urushi is smooth radiating an out of this world brilliance, paint strokes are evident with a 10x loop. And of course the fit and finish and Pilots quality control is flawless perfection.

Leonardo Momento: Momentous

The Leonardo Momento is a magnificent writing instrument. The grey translucent body give's a hint of its interior and allows you to see thr ink level. The feel on the the body is similar to the lava on a Visconti Homo Sapiens. The gold colored steel nib explodes with the name Leonardo surrounded with flourishes. The stub nib writes with minimal feedback and allows for some very nice line variation. It is an Excellent choice for left handed writers. Overall the fit and finish is flawless.

Stunning Leonardo Momento Magico Primary Manipulation 1 by Jonathon Brooks

This is my first Leonardo pen and I am very impressed so far! I also have never tried a piston fill system and I am liking it. The pen is absolutely stunning and I do know that each pen by Jonathon Brooks is different however I was sent photos of the exact pen I was buying, of each side of it and for this I am very grateful to Pen Venture and their fabulous customer service. I was hesitant about ordering as I am in Canada but the shipping was very speedy and the "tariffs" were minimal!! I would not hesitate to order from Pen Venture again as this Leonardo is exquisite to write with as well as to look at!

OUTSTANDING

If you want heavy-duty protection for your pens without the maintenance or bulk of leather, this case delivers everything you need in a sleek, robust, incredible functional design. Highly recommended!
