The Visconti Homo Sapiens originally released nearly two decades ago in the lava material, and it’s the only fountain pen that I can think of that is made of basaltic lava, actual volcanic rock! This is rock harvested from Mt. Etna in Sicily, made into a powder and mixed with resin to give it a unique texture. It’s slightly hygroscopic in nature, m...
The shape and grip is similar on all the Homo Sapiens versions, with a contoured grip I personally love. The pens feel well-balanced when unposted, but it's a bit back-heavy when posted since the pen is pretty long. With my large hands, the Homo Sapiens size is pretty ideal for me. I could see it feeling a bit large for those of you with particular...
It’s heavy, but not as heavy as you might expect being that it’s made of rock! The overall weight for the Homo Sapiens fountain pen varies based on the material: 1. Bronze/Dark Age: 42g 2. Resins: 39g 3. Dual Touch: 87g These are on the heavier side, most comparable to Diplomat Aero (41g), LAMY Dialog 3 (47g), and the Pilot Custom Urushi (43g). The...
All Homo Sapiens have some form of power filler, or vacuum filler. In general these work well for holding a large in capacity and for transporting well. They make two versions of it – a single and double reservoir – and which one is used depends on the specific pen. We always try to specify exactly which one you get on a given model on the GouletPe...
The Visconti Homo Sapiens fountain pens previously featured a 23k palladium "Dreamtouch" nib for many years. Several years ago, Visconti briefly switched to German-made Bock 18k nibs, but then transitioned again to Visconti in-house made 14k or 18k gold nibs (depending on the model). Extra-Fine, Fine, Medium are the most common nib sizes across the...
In the above video, I used Noodler’s Black ink to test out the nibs. The nibs are VERY smooth, with incredibly wet, generous flow. The nib isn't very stiff, but more springy with good line variation. The line width runs broad for most nib sizes, and writes wet. One important thing to consider, especially when thinking about the Extra-Fine nib, is y...
The Homo Sapiens uses a unique Hook Safe Lock threading to close, and pushes to post. Only 1/5 of a turn is required to open the cap, but it does securely stay closed as well.
The clip features the signature Visconti “bridge” spring clip with the name on the side. It's easy to grab the clip to put it into your pocket. The centerband is engraved with "HOMO SAPIENS". The Visconti logo in the finial on the cap. It can sometimes spin around because it’s attached magnetically. The feed has narrow fins and a little Visconti “V...
