This amazing one off pen was made to see how the Micarta looked on the Otto Profile. The edition was going to be made with it, but was cancelled unfortunately. This material if you are not familiar with it, is similar to carbon fiber but has a bit more texture to it on the touch and look. Has almost a fabric feel to it, because it is technically a fabric composite.
About the Extra Otto:
-18kt Gold #8 nibs with Ebonite Feeds and fill via Montegrappa’s in house Piston Filler.
Among the many signature details of Montegrappa products, including the pocket clip with roller for easy ingress to and egress from pockets, the octagonal shape has long been a part of the Italian house’s design language. In 2012, the year of its centenary, Montegrappa revived the use of the eight-sided geometric shape that recurs throughout its designs.
Octagon now characterises numerous Montegrappa writing instruments, including the Reminiscence, the Privilege, the Symphony, the Emblema and the NeroUno. For 2014, the octagon has been applied to the most enduring of the company’s pen ranges: the Extra 1930.
In adapting an octagonal cross-section to the legendary Extra 1930, Montegrappa has created the Extra Otto. The octagon is the example of geometric perfection that has long provided Montegrappa with a timeless motif, one that also provides its own unique feel and level of comfort for writers who bond with their favorite pens.
