Product Description
Type Retractable ballpoint pen. Every so often, you might find yourself in a situation that requires a ballpoint pen, and in those (rare) times, you still want to get as close to the fountain pen experience as possible. This Vanishing Ballpoint will help you in that quest. The body is closer to the size and weight of the Decimo (the VP's smaller sibling), with the same satisfying clicky mechanism as the fountain pen versions. When looking at the front end or the opening, it's easy to distinguish between ball and fountain - the ballpoint has a round opening and is more tapered toward the end than the fountain pen.
Product Name Vanishing Ballpoint. Not easy to find.
