Platinum Curidas Abyss Blue: the fountain pen you write with in one click
The Platinum Curidas pairs the convenience of a retractable ballpoint with the smooth writing of a Japanese fountain pen. Press the button and the nib extends, ready to write; press it again and it retracts safely inside the barrel. No cap, no fuss.
In the Abyss Blue finish, the translucent resin barrel takes on an intense, deep-sea blue that still lets you see the retraction mechanism at work, with silver accents for a modern, elegant contrast.
Why you'll love it
- Instant writing: one click and you're ready, perfect for quick notes or signing documents, even with one hand full.
- Airtight internal seal: instead of a cap, a small sealed chamber protects the nib and keeps the ink from drying out. According to Platinum, it can sit unused for up to 6 months without drying.
- Demonstrator design: a translucent barrel for those who enjoy seeing how their pen works and how much ink is left.
- Long, slim nib: it gives you a clear view of the nib tip and the line on the paper as you write.
- Removable clip: it sits slightly higher on the barrel to stay clear of your fingers, and if it still gets in the way you can take it off with the tool included.
- Platinum stainless steel nib, available in extra fine (EF), fine (F) or medium (M).
A name with a story
"Curidas" combines curiosity with the Japanese word kuridasu, meaning "to extend", a nod to the nib that extends with every click. It comes from Platinum Pen Co., founded in Japan in 1919 by Shunichi Nakata, which launched its first retractable pen, the Platinum Knock, back in 1965.
