Japanese fountain pen manufacturer Pilot, with over 90 years of history, has created the kakuno fountain pen for use by children and fountain pen beginners.The kakuno is very reasonably-priced without compromising its solid construction. The pen was originally designed for children, but is now suitable for users of all ages after being given a stainless steel pen tip to retain its authentic feel as a fountain pen for adults. The six-sided pen barrel prevents the pen from rolling off the desk, and its triangular grip is easy to hold for a fully enjoyable and efficient writing experience, complete with a smile to let you know you're holding the pen correctly. The kakuno has won several awards for its great design and kid-friendly usage. The pen includes one black ink cartridge. Refills are available in sets of 5 cartridges with a choice of black or blue-black ink.
