Namiki Falcon Collection of Fine Fountain Pens By Pilot Soar to new writing heights with the Namiki Falcon. Sleek in its unique style, this jet black, fountain pen is a remarkable feat of engineering and elegance. The Namiki Falcon's most extraordinary feature is its flexible, ''hooded'' nib that gently yields to the user's writing angle. The nib was designed by our engineers with input from the association of pen shop owners in Japan who recommended a soft flexible writing feel. This group subsequently endorsed the product. Available as a fountain pen with 14 karat gold nib in soft fine, medium or broad point. Each pen is packaged and merchandised in a black leather gift box... Where does the name Namiki come from? Namiki was the original name of Pilot Pen and its founder Ryosuke Namiki. Where is Namiki made? In Pilot's Hiratsuka factory in Central Japan. What is Namiki's product guarantee? Lifetime, for the original owner on hand painted Maki-e. Three years for all other products. What refills are recommended? Namiki fountain pens take a standard Pilot ink cartridge or can be filled via converter with Namiki bottled ink. Ball Point pens and Rolling Balls also take Pilot refills, while Pencils accept Pilot 0.5mm lead and eraser refills.(see Namiki Refills and Accessories) Why gold nibs? Gold is used in nib manufacturing because, although expensive and easily abraded, it resists corrosion caused by ink, which is so acidic that is will literally begin to dissolve steel. For pen nibs, it is generally thought that an alloy of 14 karat fineness gives the best compromise between hardness, workability and corrosion resistance. Gold is also the key ingredient in making a nib more flexible. How do Namiki nibs compare to those manufactured in Europe and the United States? Namiki nibs are one half increment finer than those made in Europe and the United States. Mfg: Pilot.
