This beautiful propelling pencil in the Tamitio collection embraces pure elegance and is both eye-catching and stylish. The finely fluted barrel made of metal is lacquered in several elaborate working steps, with an innovative lacquer ensuring a long-lasting matte surface. The pen features a traditional ballpoint pen nib which is equipped with a large capacity refill in standard size. The barrel is Night Blue and features a ribbed texture for a contemporary look; it is also broader than most Faber-Castell pens. The pen doesn’t have a cap and instead uses a twist mechanism to release the nib at the bottom. Attached to the side of the pen near the top is a spring-loaded clip handy for slipping in a shirt pocket or a Faber pen case. The top of the pen has been engraved with the Graf von Faber-Castell brand name for authenticity, with the nib engraved with "Handmade in Germany". The manufacturing process involves over one-hundred steps, with most of those carried out by hand.
