![]() How it fills There’s a proper, fully-fledged piston here – no cut-price captured converter nonsense. So in the hand this is a surprisingly light pen: robust, but not too hefty to wield lightly. It is quite a light pen: 32g in total, 16g uncapped. Measurement and comparison-wise the “Arco” Blue Bee has the classic medium-sized fountain pen dimensions: its length of 142mm and width of 12.7 mm and mm in the hand, so it measures up to pen reviewers’ typical Lamy Safari or Al-Star yardstick. Out of the box, the pen looks and feels good in the hand comfortable and ergonomic with no threads to irritate or distract the fingers. How it feels You will want to try writing with it, though, as soon as you see that nib. You may, quite reasonably, spend a day or two staring at the Arco Bee while it does its big glinting iridescence shtick before even attempting to write with it! The 10mm cap also bears the company logo and the legend: “The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog”. The layers of gold and blue resin look organic in origin, and they’re polished to perfection.

The Arco Pineider Arco is limited to 888 pieces worldwide.A little bit of history Florence is not as well-known as Bologna for pen production, at least on these shores, but Pineider have been in the game for a century or two. ![]() This fine writing instrument is complemented by 14 kt Quill Nib, a twist magnetic cap lock, and a piston filling mechanism. After intensive research, Pineder has been able to replicate these famed hues with several layers of resin, creating a visual effect that mimics celluloid-a once popular material in pen manufacturing.

The package is a very elegant Pineider desk with paper and Pineider watermarked paper envelopes. The fountain pen is the extension of the hand, Hyperflex Nib allows a fluid stroke, which does not require any pressure. ![]() The Hyperflex nib is suitable for everyday use and makes the pleasure of writing its strong point. The slabs of the material are then turned with an eccentricity of 4 degrees bringing out the overlapping layers, bringing to light the natural iridescence and transparency.Īrco is fitted with a piston filling system.
