Visconti Homo Sapiens Fountain Pen Overview

[@h-lad]

I mean. I get why people say it's stupid to spend so much on a pen... But don't people spend way too much on say...belts and other designer accessories? I'd take a way expensive pen over a way expensive designer belt any day.

[@Gouletpens]

Yeah, different people have different priorities. To each their own! A fountain pen still has a practical side beyond just the aesthetics, so I agree with you. - Colin

[@sofijeffrey9797]

If you can save up for it, do it. Just like any other fine accessory.

[@ProximaCentauri88]

Same thoughts. As a poor person, these pens are NOT just pens. I call them JEWELRIES THAT CAN WRITE.

This is exactly what I thought three years ago when I started. Now I have one, as well as a Divina. The rabbit hole runs deep, lol.

[@Mrich775]

What put me over the price and into the realm of purchasing one was the fact that by absorbing my hand oils and sweat I am able to write for hours upon hours comfortably, unlike most other pens with few exceptions. Being in a field of education requiring extreme amounts of research and note taking I got over the price and am very pleased with that decision.

[@Gouletpens]

Definitely an investment pen that seems like a good match for you! - Colin

[@Gouletpens]

[@SamFerguson]

I love the double-broad Homo Sapiens that you guys special ordered for me (thank you!), and yeah--if the "regular" nibs (i.e. fine, medium, etc.) are wet, that double-broad is basically a paint brush. But in the best possible way! I adore the way it writes. I typically take a different "nice" pen to work with me every day, but the Homo Sapiens has found its way into my laptop bag every day since I got it. You need some sturdy paper to handle the fire hose of ink that it puts out, but it's sooooo worth it. With a nicely-shading ink in it (I've been using my beloved Noodler's Antietam), it's about the most enjoyable writing experience I've ever had. It's made out of freaking volcano!

[@Gouletpens]

And the double broad seemed a bit stub-like if I remember correctly! No doubt that thing is a fire hose! I'm glad you like it Sam, and thanks for supporting my company :) -Brian

[@maxmalizia1]

+The Goulet Pen Company I have the 1.3 stub - is true is really like a paint brush. Is not easy to use it for casual writing though because of how wet it is, i regret a little not to have gotten a more classic medium.

[@Tealosaurus]

Oh man. My dream pen. I keep telling my hubby how awesome it is cuz it's made out of freaking lava, but he doesn't get it LOL.

[@Gouletpens]

+Nicole Look-Christensen (The Recliner Jockey) haha, I'm surprised that doesn't work! He has heard you but he hasn't really listened. No joke, the lava rock used comes from Mt. Etna in Sicily, and it is harvested from a hermit that lives inside the volcano. Visconti had to develop a special mixture of volcanic rock and resin so the pen would hold ink since it's naturally such a hygroscopic material. It's really cool! It's made of FREAKING LAVA! -Brian Goulet

[@lorenzob.235]

Hello from Florence!! Really nice review!

[@christopherrubino3614]

This pen is making me drool. 10 years ago or so when I got into pens I thought my Lamy Studio was my wish list pen.... Still one of my favorite pens. But I somehow wound up with 7 or 8 safaris, a Metropolitan and a few Kawcos. A few other misc. But if I knew then what I know now I would have gotten one and not the others and saved for something like this. The drool on my desk right now is overflowing!

[@iMac9991]

Sicilians love making anything out of Mt. Etna's volcanic rock. When I visited, we went to Mt. Etna and there's a gift shop near it, where almost everything they sell is made out of that stuff.

I own one of the bronze. The nub is a bit soft for me, but that is not meant to be a negative. It's due to old age and physical disability. In any case, the pen is exquisite to hold and write with. Best is, the longer you write with it, the more comfortable it is. Just a dream. If you can afford one, you will never be sorry! Do yourself -- or your better half -- a BIG favor!

It's not the easiest. You can't disassemble, or see inside so you just have to keep bringing water into the pen and expelling it until it flows clear. Using non-permanent inks makes this pretty short work though. - Colin

Brian - Thanks a lot for the detailed review

[@mikezmac]

I'm new to fountain pens. I recently tried three different ones that I ordered from Amazon and found them, well, not very appealing. I had returned all three. I've been researching fountain pens and I have finally settled on the Homo sapien. The videos here are an amazing selling point. My order is actually still pending from Goulet. Gosh I hope that ships soon… Hint :-) i've also been dabbling into calligraphy, although it looks more like a Child learning penmanship at this point. Finding educational content for this is my other latest research endeavor. Thank you for this video, you sold me on the pen. I ordered the extra fine

[@Gouletpens]

We're back today after the long holiday weekend, so your order should be processed this morning! Great call on the HS, it's one of Brian's daily carry pens. - Colin

[@san2881]

Hi Brian I liked your review on visconty bronze age .I have a small handwriting so I think ef nib would be suitable. Recently I purchased a Lamy 2000 medium nib but I think that is a bit on the broader side according to my standard/estimation. I was a bit confused over pelican souveran m1000 and homosapiens bronze age. Pelican is way too expensive and its inconsistency regarding the nib size is quite disconcerting. After purchasing an expensive pen and sending it to a nib meister to get it writing is not what I wanted. If I order from you can you ship it to India. Also please explain the filling mechanism, it's a bit confusing. In Lamy 2000 we just need to unscrew and tighten the knob. In bronze age do we have to turn the knob and pull it all the way back? I didn't get it. Please reply

[@adamtheduell]

I think I've found exactly the pen that I've been looking for!!

[@chrisb012]

I really want the Dark Age version of this pen. Two questions if I may: Do you deliver to the UK? How can you check the ink level in the pen? Do you end up guessing by the number of pages you’ve written?

Today, the Magma, extra fine nib, has become my Grail pen. Hopefully i’ll be able to obtain it soon. It’s already on my list at your website 😁

[@sashineb.2114]

Hello, are these the very same nibs that Visconti used on their Opera Elements pens? I wanted to get a Cherry Juice Opera Elements pen, but I kept reading unfavourable reviews about poor ink flow. Supposedly they used a Dreamtouch nib, but maybe it's a different generation. For a pen of that price ($600), I don't feel that I should have to send it out for tweaking. Anyway, your H.S. pen writes nicely, but did you notice any trouble with ink flow, skips, etc.? Thanks.

[@Gouletpens]

They look similar but I'd have to confirm if they're actually the same or not. I haven't had any flow issues with the Homo Sapiens in any of the pens I've tested, if anything it's very generous and maybe too wet for some! I hear ya, pens in this price deserve to write well, we can test it for you upon purchase if you request it in your order comments -Brian

[@leoluck68]

Thinking of buying the bronze. My concern is other youtube reviews that complain about various quality control issues. Have you seen this problem since you began carrying the brand? Thanks

[@Gouletpens]

There we some at the beginning, but Visconti has worked out and I haven't had any issues with recent productions. We can also ink up and test a nib to make sure it's up to our standards prior to shipping to you. - Colin

[@roberthu9538]

Hi Brain, is this pen safe for air travel? Thanks Rob

[@Gouletpens]

Yup! It's still best to try to keep it nib up when traveling, like it is with any pen. The larger size has the vacuum fill, the smaller one is a piston but won't threaten to leak much. -Brian

[@SniggKnight]

So I've seen your guy's beginner videos and ive never held a fountain pen before in my life but a friend of mine recommended that I should get one seeing how I enjoy writing in cursive or writing in general. I was hoping if you guys might be able to recommend a pen to someone who has large hands, writes in cursive, and is willing to put in the practice. The previous video I watched really got me interested in "flex pens" for the line variations. Thank you for these helpful informative video by the way!

[@Gouletpens]

Flex pens can be pretty finicky, so I'd steer clear of those to start. But if you're looking for line variation, stub nibs can achieve that without much of a headache. A large lightweight like the Conklin All American has a stub nib option. Jinhao x750 as well, but you would need to buy a stub nib to swap onto it. - Colin

I'm on your site and I just want to know if you guys at Goulet would also recommend the "Conklin Duragraph Fountain Pen - Black Matte / Rose Gold" 1.1 Stub nib?

[@unclejay2012]

do you know when the prototype ink window homosapien will available?

[@garyhenderson6504]

The case in which my Dark Age came does not have the little drawer in the case. It appears Visconti made a change in the design.

[@awesomises]

I'm currently very interested in buying one, but I could only dip the pen in ink at my local store so I cannot critically evaluate how the nib performs. I want an M nib from i.e. montblanc so should I go with F? Which ink goes well with this pen? How about iroshizuku's? Thanks.

[@Gouletpens]

The nib is called a 'Dreamtouch' nib for a reason. It's very smooth and a great writing pen. You can check out our Nib Nook (www.gouletpens.com/nib-nook) to see which one compares to the Montblanc as I'm less familiar with those pens. Pilot Iroshizuku inks would work wonderfully in this pen. - Colin

[@awesomises]

The Goulet Pen Company Thank you for replying, your 'Nib Book' tool really helps.

[@adamharris7018]

Brian, for the Visconti Bronze Homosapiens, do you need to unscrew the back of the pen since it is a power filler (vacuum filler) in order to allow the ink to flow from the storage well to the feed when writing for a long period of time?

[@Gouletpens]

What lesslighter said. You'll want to unscrew the back if you write a lot, though I haven't had to do that much in my daily writing yet. The feed is pretty long and holds decent ink. -Brian

[@makethebestoflast6250]

Hi Brian, I'm considering between buying the Homosapiens Bronze and the Parker Duofold Centennial. What are your opinions on both

[@Gouletpens]

Both pens write really wet, but the Homo Sapiens nib is softer. I don't have a Centennial in my personal collection so I have a bit more affinity towards the Homo Sapiens. I think the pen is more unique and innovative than the Centennial, if that matters to you. The Parker will be more meaningful if you're an avid Parker fan.-Brian

[@DieyenDualPen]

Does Visconti offer nib switches? I got a medium that I would love switch out for a fine.

[@Gouletpens]

Not that I'm aware of. Though wedo sell their steel nib units if you have one of the steel-nibbed Viscontis (Rembrandt, Van Gogh). It may be worth reaching out directly to Visconti if they offer anything for the more expensive models. - Colin

[@NagisaShiota11]

If I want a M size line should I go for the F nib because it's so wet?

I cannot persuade myself why I need a pen that is more expensive than my Pelikan m1000, the m1000 is already the furthest expense I can go.

ケースからエグイ

I'm not sold on fountain pens it's touch and go meaning it could write great or it could write terrible and for the price on these pens it would be insanity to have such an expensive pen that does not write to your liking .

+Tyler Ocon Seriously :) I mean... VOLCANO! -Margaret

[@jaytwo96]

Am I the only one that finds this pen incredibly ugly?

[@Gouletpens]

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. A pen made from a volcano is pretty interesting regardless! - Colin

[@NepetaLeijon]

yes, out of the 7.1 billion people on earth, you are the only one

[@IlkinSantak]

Not ugly at all! It is very beautiful in my eyes. :)

[@mikezmac]

Joshua Nolan so many pans are near clones of each other. This pen I find extremely beautiful personally. I do however have an affinity towards the rustic. Antiqued leather, I have such I think are fantastic, this will fit right in

A lot of people seem to have more money than they know what to do with. Lava? Are you serious? Manufactured in some villa someplace? Includes an advertising folder? Dear heaven. OK I do have a Montblanc 149 (which is one reason I don't need a ridiculous pen made of lava) so I'm not against expensive pens. And it's your money. Enjoy.

[@195516Z]

I've always been a fan of Visconti but, I'm sorry this is one UNATTRACTIVE pen!

[@scriptkeeper8243]

For the price, the fit and finish of this pen actually looks kinda terrible. Take, for instance, the logo on the pen clip? Was it spray painted on?

[@WunHeart]

organic pen when it is made out of rock???

[@Gouletpens]

It's made out of lava! -Margaret
