2Handcrafted Product Disclaimer
All Penlisse writing instruments are meticulously handcrafted by master artisans. Minor variations in finish, grain pattern, nib alignment, or lacquer depth may naturally occur during the handcrafting process.
These subtle variations are inherent to handcrafted luxury goods and are not considered defects. Each piece is unique, and these small differences are a testament to its artisanal heritage.
318K Solid Gold Nibs
Our fountain pens feature 18K solid gold nibs that are:
- Hand-ground by master nibsmiths
- Individually tested for ink flow consistency
- Guaranteed for structural perfection
- Suitable for professional calligraphy and daily correspondence
Each nib is calibrated to deliver a consistent, wet line with minimal pressure.
