Fountain Pens

A fountain pen is a writing instrument with a metal nib that uses water-based ink for an unparalleled writing experience. A rollerball pen also uses water-based ink but instead utilizes, as the name would suggest, a roller-ball writing mechanism, and the more common ballpoint pen uses petroleum-based, viscous inks.

Luxury fountain pens separate themselves from less expensive writing instruments by providing the smoothest, richest writing experience. In high-quality fountain pens, ink flow from the reservoir or cartridge of the instrument to the paper is sustained through capillary action, providing a steady, consistent application of ink.

Due to the ink being water-based, a cap is almost always necessary to prevent the ink from drying out. We invite you to discover the high-quality difference in writing with fountain pens. Shop by new arrivals, luxury pen brands, and staff picks below.
