Beautiful tiny ball pen with little drawback

I urgently needed a very small and thin ball pen. When I saw the offer of Grifos pens, I was excited and ordered immediately. The pen arrived in beautiful and safe packaging. It functions well. A little drawback is the fact that one cannot cover the tip of the pen refill completely which potentially causes contamination of clothes etc.

it’s always a bit of a risk buying things online that you can’t actually have in your hand and feel and touch and examine closely. The pen arrived, but I realized it sort of had some rough sharp edges, and the silver threads felt more like thin rough aluminum, so I pulled out some of my special tools to help eliminate the sharp threaded edges and burnished some of the leather so that it won’t catch on anything and unravel. I also added a bit of beeswax to make the threads screw in and out more smoothly. The pen now feels smooth in the hand with no sharp leather edges to catch or unwrap or unravel and the pen cap now posts on the barrel better with the smoothed threads and the pen weight feels good. It now feels and looks like a premium pen and should last for many years to come.

Dear Customer,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and for the care you’ve shown in refining your pen (we know from you, you are a skilled artisan). We’re delighted that the pen meets your expectations and that it will serve you well for years to come.

We’d like to clarify, as mentioned in the product description, that the hardware of the leather pen is made of plated metal, not solid silver. The finger grip, however, is crafted in 925 sterling silver. Before shipping, we lubricate the threads to ensure a smooth and silent closure. However, as with all metal components in contact with one another, the mechanism will improve with use and may require occasional lubrication to maintain optimal performance.

The stingray leather is a unique natural material known for its hardness and durability due to its sharp bony bead structure. To preserve its quality, we recommend avoiding posting the cap onto the body during writing, as this could risk damaging the leather.

We are confident that your pen will be a reliable companion for many years and will bring you good fortune in signing your most important contracts. Please feel free to reach out if you have any other questions or need assistance.

Best regards,

Exquisite craftsmanship

I bought my first Grifos Pen in 2017. Since then I have bought many more and always find the craftsmanship to be first rate. The guillochè engraving in solid sterling silver is their specialty and is consistently impressive. Each of the pens, whether all silver or incorporating Italian acrylic or exotic materials, is beautiful. They are also great writers and are meant for the rigors of daily use. Finally, the pricing is beyond reasonable for a handmade in Italy product. Grifos never disappoints and their customer service is also outstanding!

I Love my Grifos Pens!

I’ve been buying Grifos pens since 2019 and I will say they are extremely reliable but offer beautiful style. I carried a Harlequin as well as their Fly me to the Moon pen throughout my high school career. I was able to carry the pens for about a day and a half without refilling while taking copious notes (I’ve owned other pens that last far less so this is great for me) and never experiencing any blockages or ink flow issues. Even if I left a pen to sit for a while with ink in it, all I had to do to get it writing was run it under a sink for a couple seconds or refill the pen because of the high quality of the feed. For the materials being used and at the price point these pens cannot be beat. I’ve owned Visconti pens that are in the same price category made with much worse quality and very lack luster materials. If you’re looking for a high quality, well writing, beautiful, and affordable Italian fountain pen. These are for you!
