The award-winning design: Drehgriffel Nr. 1 pen from Leuchtturm1917. Developed in Japan in order to reproduce, as accurately as possible, the fineness of ink strokes that were traditionally created with a brush. This makes the multiple award-winning Drehgriffel Nr. 1 pen a premium instrument for writing and drawing.
Gel ink has a higher viscosity than standard ballpoint pen ink. This viscosity ensures easy and flowing handwriting. Giving a line width of only 0.5mm, the Japanese gel pen creates fine writing with a clear outline. Even with a gentle stroke, the ink flows very evenly via the pen tip onto the paper.
This is due to a ceramic ball bearing which dictates the perfect flow of ink in the tip. The interaction between the ceramic’s smooth surface and the precise positioning of the ball bearing ensures a constant flow of ink despite the fact that very little ink is released.
