The Falcon meets the demands of those who value the quality and pleasure of writing, to the look, the security and the persistence of passing trends, without being conventional. The major strength of this writing instrument is its nib – an extraordinary softness. The Falcon has a lacquered steel barrel and a 14-Karat gold rhodium-plated nib. The nibs are available in four different sizes, but can also be made thicker when you press harder while writing. This causes a dynamic writing effect.
