Visconti celebrates the steel age and adds a new finish to the popular Homo Sapiens pen collection. Bronze trims have been replaced with stainless marine steel trims, silver in color the trim adds a new dimension to the pen. Steel is an alloy that consists mostly of iron and has a carbon content between 0.2% and 2.1% by weight. It is a material that defines mankind’s economic evolution and the advancement in production processes and technologies. As before the trims have been combined with Visconti lava to produce a unique writing instrument with incredible properties.
