The Diplomat Aero fountain pen features a Zeppelin-inspired flame-torched steel body with groove-like depressions on the barrel and cap. It has a satisfying soft sliding click cap that posts securely onto the barrel when writing. It features a smooth writing #6 JoWo nib in stainless steel, a matte gunmetal grip and trim, and fills via standard international cartridge/converter (both are included).

Forged in fire, designed for innovation. Each pen is individually set under a blowtorch, ensuring a unique style on every fine writing instrument. Clear lacquer is applied during the finishing touches to offer a stunning sheen on the body of each pen. The hues and textures are truly original, and any pen lover is sure to appreciate the craftsmanship.

Note: The converter you receive may vary from what is pictured here.

Beautiful pen

The pen looks like it came right out of the forge with its iridescent colors. The design is well balanced, and the craftsmanship is excellent. The pen is larger than I thought it would be, due to the #6 nib, which can skew the appearance in pictures. Make sure you check the dimensions before you purchase. Overall the pen looks like a fine piece of jewelry.

Love the Flame!

The Diplomat Aero Flame EF 14K is a buttery smooth writer and a pleasure to hold in my average-sized hand. The pen feels a tad heavy when posted but I scarcely notice writing with it a couple of hours at a time. Love the zeppelin-inspired design, the unique flame finish, fit and finish and choice of materials. It's stainless steel body is pretty much indestructible. This pen is really easy to love!

Beautiful

I have been looking at this pen for a couple of months . I finally took the leap It looks beautiful on line but even more beautiful in person. Heavy I will admit but still well balanced and easy to write with. I do not post this pen but I do others. Smooth writing It has a wonderful click for closure. This was a leap for me from my workhorse LAMY and Twisbi pens. Well worth it. Life is short and worth a good pen. It look both modern and vintage at the same time Very glad I purchased this pen

Great pen

It is super smooth! And the color is very unique, good for daily use at the office, if you want something different from the plain black barreled pen!

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I use this pen with ink cartridges? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

A cartridge is small, disposable, sealed plastic reservoir that holds fountain pen ink. These come pre-filled with ink, and typically you just push to insert them into place and you'll be ready to write!

This pen uses standard international ink cartridges, a common size which is available in many colors from various brands.

You can learn more about how to actually install an ink cartridge on our blog, or in this video tutorial:

How do I use a converter? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

A converter goes in the place of where the ink cartridge would normally go. From there, you can fill your fountain pen from bottled ink.

A converter is a detachable and refillable ink reservoir that allows you to use bottled ink in a cartridge-accepting pen. Typically you will install the converter into the grip section, dip the nib/feed into the ink, and twist or pull the converter knob to draw ink into the converter.

We have a great video showing how to use a converter here:

How do I clean this fountain pen? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

It mostly comes down to flushing out the pen with water, and sometimes a little bit of pen flush if the ink is really stuck. 

We put together a blog post with step-by-step instructions, or you can watch the video here:

We recommend a good cleaning every 2 weeks, and any time you change ink colors. Water will usually do the trick, but we recommend you use our Goulet Pen Flush if the ink has been left in the pen for a while and could have dried up, or when you’re switching ink colors.

For even more information about fountain pen cleaning, check out our Fountain Pen 101 video blog post.
