Even writers with extremely horrible handwriting (such as myself) might be tempted to write longhand with one of these instruments: The Inkless Metal Pen and the Endless Ink Pen.
Downsides? Some people have reported that the metal pens write too lightly, making the words difficult to read, depending on what it’s being used for. Also…how difficult would it be to get this kind of thing through airport security? Pointed metal rod? Sure. “Writing instrument” will be the first thing through the inspector’s head.
Thoughts? Anyone have/used one of these?
Uhmmm… maybe because I'm an artist, I find this hilarious. Writing and drawing with metal is ancient. Silverpoint is the most common these days, but artists use other types of metal, too.
Cheers to the marketers for making something so old look new and innovative!
That is funny. I didn't even think of the artistic applications. Nothing new under the sun, eh?
“I don't know why you'd need to do that, but that's awesome.” Haha. Yes.
Ancient or not, I'd love one of these!
