Martini
Cap-less Fountain Pen Limited Edition |
|
This twisted nine faceted cap-less fountain
pen is the fifth Martini Limited Edition pen. We have never
seen another pen that uses this complex nine-sided geometry.
For this reason predicting how many sides this pen has, on first
glance, is difficult. It has been produced in a very limited
edition of 30 pieces. |
 |
We currently have #
6 of this edition of 30. |
|
Reminiscent of the twisted shape of the
Sailor Gaudi Limited Edition,
the high-shine of the Stipula sterling silver creates the illusion
that the pen is bent. The pen is completely straight, however. |
|
Note that the colorful reflections are
an artifact of our photo process. |

Using the same result as the Vanishing
Point, the barrel is twisted to eject the full size
nib from behind "sliding doors" at the base
of the gripping section. These "doors" create
a sealed house which prevents the ink, in the nib, from
drying - thus serving the function of a traditional
cap.
There is nothing awkward about this pen when the nib
is retracted. Martini has taken special care to give
the impression of a cap with the long section and raised
band dividing the section and the barrel. |

The Martini logo is engraved
at the end of the barrel. The photograph above only
shows two, of the nine, facets. The others are in shadow.
This is a view of the sliding door
almost half closed in front of the tipping of the nib.
When closed, it entirely covers the over the upper space.
Again the red is an artifact of our photo process |
|
The pen measures approx.
5 1/4" retracted, and approx. 6 1/4" extracted.
At a weight of 91 grams this pen is a handful.
This pen uses standard Pelikan cartridges or fills
form a bottle with a converter.
The pen is available in the 18k rhodium
plated Martini nib in the following sizes: Fine, Fine
Flex, Medium, Medium Fine, Broad and 1.3mm Stub.
The signature Martini logo is engraved on all nibs.
