The name “Drehgriffel” is a German compound noun that directly translates as twist stylus. Its characteristic design makes this writing instrument truly distinctive: a hexagonal body with a pointed tip, which, like the twist button, is in a contrasting colour. The Drehgriffel Nr. 1 in the New Colours 2027 is available with a ballpoint or gel refill. To replace the refill, the twist head can simply be unscrewed.
Japan is a country which is well-known for its writing culture. Shodō is a Japanese word which is often translated as ‘the way of artistic handwriting’ or beautiful writing and describes the very moment in which a thought flows through the hand and becomes visible on paper.
Our gel pen refill was developed in Japan, in order to reproduce in everyday life and as accurately as possible the fineness of ink strokes that were traditionally created with a brush. It makes the multiple award-winning Drehgriffel Nr. 1 pen from LEUCHTTURM1917 a premium instrument for writing and drawing.
