Name: Leonardo - Momento Zero Black Matte
Rating: 5.00 (2 reviews)

Momento Zero Black Matte is again available. Worked from a solid resin bar in the Leonardo workshop. The black comes with a special texture unique to this pen. The entire surface of the pen is mate resembling velvet to the touch. The color is accentuated by the ruthenium platted trims of the pen. The tapered shape is inspired by the classic Italian design.

This pen comes equipped with size #6 La Fenice steel nibs and ABS plastic feeds. Available sizes: Extra Fine, Fine, Medium, Broad, Stub 1.1mm, Stub 1.5mm and two Elastic: Extra Fine and Fine.

It is easy to fill the pen. You don't need to unscrew the entire barrel. The blind cap gives access to the filling mechanism. The pen weight is well balanced with the help of the metal knob on top of the converter. The screw in cartridge converter is specially commissioned for Leonardo Officina Italiana.

Italian original quality. It is guaranteed for life against manufacturing defects.

My First Leonardo and Impressed

I had been musing on buying a good Italian pen for a time, but as someone who uses pens largely for art was keen to secure a pen with a flex nib. Fortunately, Emy at Pen Venture was able to secure a Momento Zero fitted with an Elastic EF and I’ve been very impressed by the result. Very good ink flow, no false starts and the pen feels just right in the hand. Top marks too for Emy’s service with excellent communication all along the way. Keen to explore other Leonardos in the future.

a gorgeous daily writer

I've always enjoyed matte black pens, but the Leonardo is on another level. The pen is light and feels very well made. I love the ruthenium trim and the texture of the matte resin. There's even a blind cap, which is a nice touch. It writes smoothly, although I confess I'm not accustomed to writing with an extra fine nib (my spouse says the extra fine suits my handwriting, so I'm sticking with it). I have one other Leonardo in my collection and I think there will be more to come.
