Pelikan M640 Sahara Fountain Pen
Swirls of desert sand, blazing sun and rippling wave patterns mark the Sahara.
You can almost feel the heat coming off the barrel of this pen. These colors are as accurately depicted here as we can on a computer screen.
We are noticing a trend, if two examples can be called a trend, toward natural phenomena; water and wind. The Pelikan Niagara, released in early 2007, represents falling water, with rushing lines against deep blue. Where the Niagara pen is cool, this one is hot, embodying reflected light off moving hills of sand.

We like that this pen uses the full range of M600 18K nibs.
Although only available from most retailers in Fine, Medium and Broad nibs, we can increase this range to include
Extra-Fine, Double Broad, Oblique Medium, Oblique Broad and Oblique Double Broad. Of course these nibs can also be customized here to special tips of your preference.

The barrel is made from lacquer over engraved metal which gives a new twist to the engraving patterns that were widely used in pen manufacturing during the early part of the 20th century. Preserved by a clear coating that protects and reflects, this form of guilloche represents the movement of wind on sand.
