CONTINENTAL ball pen steel
Introductory price 48 euros until 30 April 2024, then 58 euros.
This surprisingly heavy ball pen was milled (shaft) and turned (handle) in one of the many Westphalian metalworking companies. The shape is unusual, neither cigar nor ornament, but rather an interplay of angular shaft and cylindrical handle. And the material is also unusual: not aluminium, not nickel silver, not stainless steel, but simple, honest tool steel. Finely ground, with the slight residual roughness of the iron base material that is only perceptible to the fingertips.
The inner workings are also top German technology: the "Easyflow 9000 M" refill in G2 format from Schmidt Technology in the Black Forest. It is moved by the famous SKM 88 from the same company, the world's only pusher mechanism made entirely of metal (stainless steel and brass). You can easily spend a lot more money on a "prestigious" writing instrument: You will be hard pressed to find one that is so "outstanding" in terms of shape, weight and technology.
