Tom Hessin Charles 1870 Gherkin All Black Fountain Pen

Continuing their theme of creating pens that celebrate Britain’s industrial landscape Tom Hessin’s Charles 1870 fountain pen celebrates the history of a more recent, but equally impressive landmark with a pen inspired by London’s Gherkin, Made from an anodised black aluminium with matching black trim and PVD coated nib its an eye catching pen that captures the essence of one of London’s most iconic landmarks.

The pen features an engraved diamond pattern, taking notes from the lattice like design that make up the Gherkin, as well as from Tom Hessin’s own diamond motif, The weight of the metal alongside the texture of the pattern work’s together to give the pen a tactile and weighty writing experience.

Alongside a PVD coated Jowo #6 nib the 1870 Gherkin pen is also available with Tom Hessin’s special gold plated Ultraflex nib, a highly springy, flex nib that works great to add a little extra flair to your writing.
