Jinhao 993 Shark Fountain Pen - Dark Blue Demonstrator
Attack your writing with these Jinhao Shark fountain pens! This fun plastic pen is actually a decent writer. It features a hooded steel nib, fills via standard international cartridge/converter (converter included, no ink) or converted to an eyedropper, and the shark head cap unscrews open and pushes to post. The translucent triangular grip assists in proper pen position. Perfect for kids, the avid shark enthusiast, or anyone who enjoys a fun affordable pen.
By converting this pen to an eyedropper, you can fill the entire barrel with ink for maximum ink capacity! All you need to do is add an o-ring and a small amount of silicone grease to the threads (available separately).
