In ancient times, a pen was no more
than a rooster's feather dipped in ink.
So many fountain pens have been
made since, and today there are so
many varieties that it's hard to figure
out anymore what the differences are.
There are felt pens, ballpoint pens,

gel pens, markers, and so on--a
practically endless list of different
writing instruments.

The fountain pen stands out as a
powerful symbol of intellect. Scholars
give pens to the people they respect
most. Think about the saying that
the pen is mightier than the sword,
meaning that it's the most powerful
weapon one can use: writing instead
of bullets.

Fountain pens contain a reservoir
where ink is stored. The ink is fed
to a part of the pen called the nib.
The movement of the ink occurs
because of the pull of the gravity
when the pen is held in an upward
position for writing. Some pens are
disposable, and yet there are many
in which the ink can be replaced after
being used up. This may be done
either by inserting a factory-made
cartridge or by using an eye-dropper
to refill the existing cartridge. This is
the usual method for branded,
expensive pens.

Yes, it is true that fountain pens
are expensive. It's because of
their craftsmanship and artwork.
There are even times that fountain
pens are made not to write anymore
but to be held in collections. And
there are ones with gold linings in
them. You can find such quality here
at Luxeton.
