Platinum Curidas Fountain Pen Review

After weeks of speculation anticipation and shipping delays the platinum curidas has finally arrived.
Platinum curidas fountain pen review. Like those pens it has a clip near the writing tip so it can be placed in a pouch or pocket. While we love platinum and a new release always gets the fountain pen world talking the platinum curidas fountain pen got everyone talking on a different level. As a fan of unconventional pen designs i was incredibly excited to get some hands on time with only the second retractable fountain pen on the market. The platinum curidas is a retractable fountain pen that looks to be related to the platinum preppy.
Disassembly and filling the pen. It s translucent plastic body steel nib and robust click mechanism make a strong argument for it as a less expensive alternative to the long running pilot vanishing point. As fountain pens go this is a fun mechanism to play with and a very clever design. The curidas is a retractable fountain pen similar to the pilot vanishing point or lamy dialog 3.
My initial impressions of the recently released platinum curidas retractable nib fountain pen a pen that s sure to please true pen geeks but likely will have a difficult time winning over the casual user. The platinum curidas is a new entrant into the retractable fountain pen market. In development for years prior to release the curidas hype train officially pulled out of the station at the beginning of the year. Third time s the charm here we go.
Special thanks to pen chalet who was. The pen the curidas. To be honest when the original pictures came out my interest was piqued after all i have to others with which i will lightly compare it the lamy dialog 3 and the pilot capless nee vanishing point. And it is retractable.
Platinum has a new fountain pen in town called the curidas. The retractable fountain pen everyone s talking about platinum recently released a new fountain pen design. At first glance it is similar to pilot s vanishing point or capless fountain pen except that the curidas is made of plastic and has a stainless steel nib. I bought a platinum curidas in green with a medium nib.
Let s take a look. It was first announced in 2020 with limited details. Overall 80 feels like an extremely fair price for the curidas. Also the steel pocket clip is removable.
Overall the curidas is a well made fountain pen but it s market appeal is limited.
