This Schon DSGN Pocket Six compact fountain pen features a black aluminum finish called "Satin Black".
The "Pocket Six" is the first fountain pen offering from Schon DSGN. A compact cartridge fountain pen, it is designed for everyday use. These pens are compact when capped but offer a nice full sized fountain pen experience when the cap is posted on the back of the pen. The cap screws to open/close as well as to post onto the back.
The name "Pocket Six" comes from the fact that this pocket pen houses a #6 sized JoWo steel nib, which is a full sized nib, rather than the smaller #5 commonly found in pocket size fountain pens.
This clipless fountain pen accepts short standard international ink cartridges (a pack is included).
