Nettuno Barracuda Fountain Pen “Blue Transparent” Pre-owned

The Nettuno Barracuda is a highly striking and unconventional limited-edition fountain pen, originally released in 2005 by the historic Italian brand Nettuno. Within the fountain pen community, the Barracuda is renowned for its bold, futuristic, and angular aesthetic.

Key Features

• Square design: Unlike traditional round pens, the Barracuda features a completely square body and cap. Each pen is individually numbered with a laser engraving on the barrel.
• Magnetic closure: The cap uses an ingenious system with four square magnets positioned at the corners, allowing the cap to click securely into place.
• Ergonomic grip: Despite the square exterior, the grip section is perfectly round, making the pen surprisingly comfortable to hold while writing.
• Integrated clip: The silver-colored clip is seamlessly integrated into one of the corners of the cap, preserving the clean, geometric lines of the design.
• Nib and filling system: The pen is fitted with a steel Medium (M) nib with an iridium tip. It uses the included converter or standard international ink cartridges.
