Life has critical moments when a catastrophe can either break a person or gift them with extraordinary abilities. Think of the origin stories of superheroes : A radioactive spider bite, exposure to gamma radiation, an accidental spill of toxic goo. In more realistic terms, it could be an injury, a battle with chronic illness, a failed business.
In collaboration with PenBoyRoy, Benu presents the Goldspot-exclusive "Gamma Green" Skull and Roses fountain pen design.
The Benu Skull and Roses reminds us that life is a force of change. While the grim reality is that we shall all meet the same fate, we can choose to blossom like the rose. "Gamma Green" represents the acceptance of fate and perseverance over life's obstacles.
Good versus evil. Life versus death. Benu's "Skull and Roses" pen design takes inspiration from these eternal struggles. A pattern of roses wrap around the barrel and cap while the decorative cap ring is embellished with skulls. The ring isn't just for decoration alone - it works as a roll-stop to prevent your writing instrument from rolling off the table.
Fitted with a #5 size stainless steel nib, this pocket-sized fountain pen fills using a full-sized international converter or ink cartridge (both included with the pen). While the cap cannot be posted on the back of the pen while writing, the tapered, cigar shape of the pen body feels lightweight and comfortably balanced in hand.
