TWSBI Vac 700R Kyanite fountain pen

New for Summer 2024, the TWSBI Vac 700R Kyanite fountain pen has a blue finish to the metal trim, and to the tip of the nib suggestive of the colour of Kyanite.  Kyanite, derived from the Greek word kyanos which means 'blue', is a naturally occurring aluminum silicate mineral.

The TWSBI Vac pens have a shut off value internally such that when it is closed there is only sufficient ink for a short passage of writing.  When the filler knob is unscrewed the shut-off valve is opened and the ink reservoir is then connected with the nib assembly and this enables the flow of ink for long writing sessions.  See the instruction manual PDF in the downloads tab a pictorial description.
