The design of the Writers Edition Franz Kafka is not only reminiscent of the simple and yet artful style of its eponym, but also pays tribute to Kafka’s most famous work: “The Metamorphosis”. In the fascinating change from square to round in the writing instrument’s form, the metamorphosis described in Kafka’s story has found its equivalent.
Top, clip and rings made of 925 sterling silver offer a thrilling contrast to the dark red translucent aura of the barrel. A further reference to “The Metamorphosis” is on the rhodium-plated 18-karat gold nib: a finely engraved cockroach.
This collection was launched in 2004 and was limited to 14,000 Fountain Pens.
This Montblanc Writers Edition Franz Kafka Fountain Pen is still FACTORY TAPE SEALED! (Featured in Broad or Medium size nib) Since the fountain pen is still sealed the images presented are from a different opened Kafka fountain pen. We do our best to represent the quality of the writing instrument in our photographs.
