The Pilot Kakuno Fountain Pen utilizes a stainless steel nib for controlled ink distribution. Its 11g resin body reduces grip tension during long sessions. A hexagonal barrel prevents the instrument from rolling off flat surfaces.
Key Features
- Smiley Face Nib: Engraved face on the stainless steel nib. Keeps the point oriented correctly to avoid ink flow interruptions.
- Hexagonal Grip: 10mm diameter with triangular facets. Forces a standard tripod grip to improve handwriting stability.
- Resin Construction: 11g total weight across a 131mm closed frame. Resists hand fatigue while navigating high humidity in BD.
- Converter Support: Compatibility with CON-40 and CON-70 filling systems. Supports bottled ink use for varied Pilot Kakuno nib sizes.
- Service Warranty: 6 months of service coverage included. Fixes mechanical flow issues but excludes physical nib misalignment from drops.
