Smithsonian - Dinosaur Fossil Tornado™ Fountain Pen

The embossed bones on the metal barrel are really tactile, and it's a joy to just hold while writing. The commemorative tube presentation feels like unearthing a little treasure, too.

The weight of this metal pen feels substantial in hand, which I wasn't expecting at this price. The plate finish gives it a nice vintage look on my desk, and the bones really are tactile. Writes smoothly enough for everyday notes, too.

The raised skeleton texture along the barrel is such a cool touch, you really do feel the bones under your fingers while writing. Ink flows smoothly with no skipping, and the commemorative tube looks great on my desk.
