Pilot Silvern Fountain Pen – Koushi

Pilot Silvern is a beautiful fountain pen in Pilot’s Sterling Silver collection. The pen’s barrel and cap are made of genuine sterling silver, giving it a nice weightiness in the hand. Koushi is the name of the grid pattern that is etched into barrel and cap; the traditional Koushi grid pattern was commonly used in the Edo period in Japan on room dividers and the different thicknesses of the lines stood for different meanings. Thin lines such as the ones on the Koushi grid of the Silvern indicate elegance and indeed, the Pilot Silvern is a very elegant and classic looking fountain pen.  Pen Length: 5.6 in (14.3 cm)  Nib: Rhodium plated 18k gold Barrel and Cap Material: Sterling Silver Snap cap Polish the pen every once in a while to maintain its polished silver appearance and prevent tarnishing Ink cartridge and Con-40 converter included  Polishing cloth included Compatible cartridges can be found here: Pilot/Namiki Fountain Pens More Pilot Silvern Fountain Pens
