is a real rarity these days,
especially if it is written using ink from a bottle, all images courtesy of Drillog,
as opposed to ink from a cartridge in the pen, but the problem in dipping a pen nib into ink is that it can only hold a limited amount of ink,
until now,
as
its name suggests, Drillog is
a drillbit-shaped pen that holds the ink in its thin grooves that spiral up the
side of the nib, it is the product of the
CNC-machining factory Shion,
whereas
traditional quills require repeated dips and the more modern fountain pen
suspends the pigmented liquid in an internal reservoir for longer use, a single
dunk of the Drillog should retain enough ink to smoothly fill an A4 size paper,
its
interchangeable barrels come in dozens of style-and-colour combinations, and the
Japanese company even released a miniature palette with tiny wells designed to
reduce spillage. There are just under 40 days to back the fully-funded project
on Kickstarter, and you can find out more about the aluminium pen on the Drillog site and Twitter, imagine the days when using ink and a ink well was the only way write a letter, what a revolution this pen wold have been! I have just made link to the updated site, it appears they have now been fully backed, so I guess it is only now a matter of time until the pen is on sale.
