Kayu Egino 3 Cocobolo

When you look at the Egino, does it even look like a pen? Where are all those things like the giant cap, clip or the opulent gold-plated decorations? They’re not there. And why? Because they’re useless. The smallest cap we’ve managed to come up with has only a milled edge that prevents rolling and thanks to which you can tell at first touch where the cap is screwed on.

The Egino 3 is equipped with a fast and reliable closure with good old threads. It may not be as sexy as magnets or plastic clicks, but it will still work just as well in 30 years without repair.

As soon as you open the pen, you’ll find that nothing interferes with your grip. It’s so satisfying when you can grab the pen wherever you feel like it, and there are no edges, threads or similar irregularities that get in the way. It’s also perfectly balanced with the center of gravity tilted just right towards the tip. Thanks to this, you will enjoy truly superb control without compromise.

Egino can write with a classic Fine, Medium or Bold nib and as a bonus also with a ballpoint (M). It depends on what suits you best. All filled with a converter or standard size cartridges that you can get in any good stationery store. The nibs come from Germany and are so precise that they write at the slightest touch to the paper.
