BENU Pixie Fountain Pen Set - Jolly Roger Vintage
Compact in size, yet comfortable to write with when the cap is posted, the BENU Pixie is a true marvel in the world of pocket-sized fountain pens. Extensively tested before its launch, the Pixie strikes the balance between petite aesthetics and ergonomics, ensuring it is suitable for long writing sessions despite its compact size.
This set of 3 fountain pens brings a fresh interpretation of the Jolly Roger motif through a nostalgic palette of orange, pink, and blue. Each pen is finished with a unique, hand-applied patina that captures the charm of timeworn elegance.
Each pen in the Jolly Roger Vintage set is finished with a hand-applied patina imitation, creating a distinctive timeworn aesthetic. Noticeable variations in tone and texture are part of the design, enhancing the aged, well-worn appearance.
To achieve this effect, BENU used an Giudaic Bitumen solution—traditionally applied by masters in painting and decorative arts to create an aged, patinated look. The solution consists of natural resins and oils and is safe to use, though it may carry a faint, characteristic scent similar to bitumen, which will dissipate over time.
All 3 pens have a Schmidt #5 stainless steel nib in Fine. It comes with a blue standard international short ink cartridge. You can also fill the whole barrel with ink to use as an eyedropper pen with a larger ink capacity. A mini standard international converter (such as the Kaweco foldable converter) is available for purchase separately.
