The flagship model from Italian pen maker Visconti, the Homo Sapiens Bronze Age Oversize is a collector’s item with a commanding presence. It’s handmade with hardened basaltic lava from Sicily’s Mount Etna: the tallest active volcano in Europe. Known for its strength, this lava is virtually unbreakable, smooth to the touch, and slightly hygroscopic, meaning it can absorb the moisture from your hand. On this pen, it’s complemented by a bronze pocket clip, bronze trim, and a two-tone 23-karat palladium nib. Visconti’s Hook Safe Lock capping system prevents the cap from accidentally unscrewing in your pocket and leaking, and the generously sized vacuum power filler is made of titanium to resist ink corrosion. Measuring 5.7 inches capped and 6.8 inches posted, this Bronze Age is well suited for those who prefer larger pens.
Note: At checkout, you’ll have your choice of nib size: extra fine (+$50), fine, medium & broad (base price).
