Graf von Faber Castell INTUITION

( April 2009 )GRAF Von FABER-CASTELL INTUITION
Pure Intuition....
One of the nicest experiences in life is spontaneously doing the right thing when faced with a decisive situation. The new Intuition pens and pencils in the Graf von Faber-Castell series provide the opportunity to experience that in its purest form.

The gleaming polish of the precious resin barrel catches the eye immediately. The deep black radiates an intensity that gives these writing implements their unusual aura. This is accentuated in a most effective way by the platinum-plated ring at the end of the cap or front piece, discreetly engraved with the words "handmade in Germany".
The barrel is elegantly shaped in a single piece: no screw thread interrupts its puristic form that ensures, in a masterly way, the highest degree of functionalism. One can tell intuitively from the gently concave grip that it will sit comfortably between the fingers.

The fountain pen is equipped with a cartridge/converter system and an 18-carat bicolour gold nib with iridium tip.
The nib is largely hand-made, involving over a hundred steps, and is then 'run in' by hand.
The propelling pencil uses break resistant 0.7 mm leads of hardness B and has a reservoir for spare leads. There is a replaceable white eraser under the end cap.
The roller-ball pen possesses a smooth-running ruby point and an unusually long-lasting magnum refill.
