Visconti Homo Sapiens Steel Age Oversized Fountain Pen

The Steel Age Homo Sapiens has been discontinued by Visconti, and we have no more left in stock.

The Visconti Homo Sapiens Steel Age Oversized Fountain Pen is manufactured from lavastone from Mount Etna, probably the world’s most famous active volcano on the Island of Sicily. Almost certainly spewed out of the ground during Etna’s last eruption, the lavastone is ground and mixed with modern resins to produce a tough near indestructible matter from which these extraordinary pens are made. They have a soft, warm feel to the hand and because the material is slightly hygroscopic it also feels very dry to the touch.

Complemented with stainless steel accompaniments and, of course, Visconti’s signature ‘Ponte Veccio‘ arched bridge pocket clip, the cap secures cleverly into place with Visconti’s brilliant cantilever bayonet system.
