The history behind of these pens goes to Medieval times. Old masters such as Jan Van Eyck, Leonardo da Vinci, Albrecht Durer and Raphael used pens made of silver and even gold for some of their work. Beginning with the usage of graphite in 17th century, these pens were almost forgotten. This contemporary version is made of solid metal and it writes on most types of paper surfaces and it cannot be erased. The visual effect is similar to the normal pencil and hard to tell the difference.
The most appealing property of the pen is that you never need to replace it like ink pens and pencils. The manufacturer of the pen guarantees that it can survive at least 25 years.
Well I will surely order one. It is a unique item for sure.
The metal pen is available from Grand Illusions for around US$23 !
