Graf von Faber-Castell Classic Grenadille Fountain Pen

Graf von Faber-Castell Classic Grenadilla

Grenadillo wood is, as its name indicates, the main component used in the manufacture of the Graf von Faber-Castell Classic Grenadilla fountain pen. With this noble wood originating in Africa, characterized by its enormous hardness, density and resistance, the body of this beautiful fountain pen is made with classic and stylized shapes that increase the sensation of slenderness thanks to the dark color of the wood and the attractive grooves of its surface. A material, in short, that provides a warm and soft touch and that, thanks to its natural variations in color, texture and grain, turns each fountain pen into a unique and unrepeatable work.

The aforementioned warmth of the wood has a spectacular counterpoint in the metallic elements of the fountain pen, which enrich its image and provide a note of cold elegance with its shiny platinum-plated surface.

This is the case of its cap, which presents the characteristic trumpet profile of the Graf von Faber-Castell writing pens and is animated by the fluted edge of its upper end, under which the coat of arms from the founding family of this renowned German brand stands on its front face. Below the previous one is located its solid articulated clip, a robust element equipped with a graceful curved silhouette that conveniently fulfills its function thanks to an effective spring system. The decoration of the cap is completed by the name of the company, finely engraved, in capital letters, on its lower lip.

Also made of platinum-plated metal is its grip section, which houses its fantastic 18-carat solid gold nib, with a two-tone finish and a beautiful engraved decoration that includes, once again, the Faber-Castell family coat of arms and, of course, the references to the purity of the gold used and the thickness of the point, which for this specific model covers a wide spectrum of possibilities that include extra fine (EF), fine (F), medium (M), broad (B ), medium oblique (OM) and broad oblique (OB).

The fountain pens from the Graf von Faber-Castell Classic collection are served in a magnificent presentation case made of natural brown or dark brown wood depending on the finish chosen:
