This is the standard type of the Handwritmic Brody Neuenschwander Ruling pen for students and calligraphers who want to have a reliable pen with extraordinary effects on expressive calligraphy. Stainless steel ruling pen with matt black handle made of hard wood Characteristics: Four functions: bold, medium and thin strokes for calligraphy and many lines of different thicknesses for rules and borders. Unlike other instruments on the market, the Brody Neuenschwander Ruling pen is not made of brass but of stainless steel and the metal point is attached to the handle without the use of epoxy resins. Each pen is hand finished by a craftsman to give you the smoothest writing edge. The steel unpolished Ruling pen offers the best technical solution at an affordable price. The pen is light and comfortable to hold thanks to the double grip area. The handles are made of wood FSC certified and the paints are natural, we don’t use epoxidic varnish. The dots that circle the screw are reference points for opening or closing the pen. The screw is designed in such a way that it won’t fall down when you wash the pen. You can write on on any paper or substrate and use almost any ink (although the more liquid varieties are preferable). You can obtain more splatters on a rough paper than on a smooth surface. You can write in vertical, try it straight on the wall (the edge of the pen won’t wear out since it is not soft brass but harder stainless steel). All components of the Brody Neuenschwander Ruling pen are designed and made in Italy.
