The delta virtuosa fountain pen was named for virtue, good and righteousness, the definition of virtuosa. The pen is made from hand-turned italian resins in jet black, blue, dark ivory, or light ivory. The trim is plated with rhodium and comes with a semi-flexible steel nib. The delta virtuosa fountain pen is both a dependable and beautiful writing instrument. Ink flows directly out of the pen's nib, so no pressure is required to write. Offers a smoother writing experience, and they won't skip or leave ink blobs.
