Description

Converter Type Glass Nib Fountain Pen

Shizuku Pen

The name Shizuku in Japanese is inspired from the picture of a water (or ink) drop on the surface. Shizuku is a special fountain pen featured with handmade glass nib and converter mechanism.

In Japan, glass pen was developed since Meiji period and it was very popular. However, due to the fact that the ink couldn't be stored and the inconvenience of carrying and ink stains, glass pens became less favored than fountain pens and ballpoint pens.

About glass nib fountain pen

This time we would like to gain back the popularity of glass pen by introducing Shizuku glass nib fountain pen with which aforementioned problems were solved.

Firstly, you won't be bothered with the ink storage problem of glass pen any more since our Shizuku glass nib fountain pen works well with an ink converter. Glass nib can connect directly to a converter. Therefore, you can write with a glass pen for as long as when writing with fountain pen.

Secondly, the techniques used in creating our Shizuku pen are originally invented and developed by Mr. 楊森 who had been researching and making glass for decades. The nib is entirely handmade from a strong and durable material over the course of a month which is to ensure that glass nib from Shizuku pen is more durable.

Last but not least, the body of Shizuku pen is built from high-class Duralumin - the exceptional material used in Aircraft and Aerospace with high-strength whereas light weight. Especially, the color showing on each pen is completely unique and there is no similar pen even in the same collection. The anodizing technique applied on Duralumin is proved to protect the body from discoloration and corrosion.

Hold the pen, relax your arm, then touch the glass nib on paper, you will not only enjoy the look but also feel an ultimate smoothness and amazing ink flow.

The converter mechanism of glass nib has been registered under Japan Patent Office with Certificate of Utility Model Registration. The glass nib is proved to be able to supply ink directly from the converter.

Glass nib fountain pen

"Great lightweight glass nib fountain pen. Excellent quality material and well made. The glass nib is a pleasure to write with and best feature: no need to dip as cartrige/converter provides the ink. The delivery was fast and Wancher Service is very efficient."

Joëlle M. (5/5)

Beautiful glass nib fountain pen!

"I initially received this pen with what I perceived as “flaws” . I reached out to Wancher, and with their excellent customer service, sent a replacement that was perfect! I love how beautiful the pen is, and it writes smoothly. (The concept of a cartridge glass nib pen was what had sold me.). I would recommend this glass nib pen highly. I am looking forward to purchasing another Wancher fountain pen in the near future."

Çok beğenerek ve isteyerek sahip

"Çok beğenerek ve isteyerek sahip olduğum Shizuku Kalem bana ulaştığından beri elimden bırakamıyorum. Yazımı mükemmel, adeta kağıt üzerinde dans ediyor. Beni bu kalemle buluşturduğunuz için teşekkürler... Ayrıca, kargodaki özeniniz ve hızınız için de teşekkür ederim. Kalemime beklediğimden daha çabuk kavuştum. I can't put it down since the Shizuku Pen, which I have so fondly and willingly owned, arrived. The writing is perfect, it's like dancing on paper. Thanks for introducing me to this pen. Also, thank you for your care and speed in shipping. I got my pen quicker than I expected."
