Big Idea Design Fountain EDC Pen Silverplated

Big Idea x ASW Fountain Pen – handcrafted silver with character

Handwriting is always personal – and a fountain pen makes it just a little more special. The Big Idea x ASW Fountain Pen is built exactly around that idea: a classic writing experience combined with honest materials and true craftsmanship.

The foundation of this pen is solid brass, giving it a pleasant weight and calm, well-balanced feel in the hand. What makes this version truly special is the finish: each pen is hand silver-plated at the Altonaer Silberwerkstatt. No industrial coating, no shortcuts – just a genuine layer of silver, carefully applied by hand. Afterward, every pen receives a hand-rubbed finish and a subtle antique silver tint in the upper section. The result is a beautiful contrast between light and dark tones and a slightly aged look that practically invites you to pick it up.

The surface has real depth and character, developing a natural patina over time that becomes uniquely yours – much like your own handwriting. This is not a sterile object, but a pen that evolves with use.

Despite its premium materials, the Big Idea x ASW Fountain Pen remains a true EDC writing tool. Compact enough to slip into a pocket, yet long enough when posted to allow for comfortable, relaxed writing. Inside, a Bock Extra Fine nib delivers clean ink flow and precise lines, whether you’re jotting down quick notes or writing longer passages.

Included is a Kaweco mini converter, allowing you to use both international standard cartridges and bottled inks. Perfect for anyone who enjoys experimenting with different inks or prefers something a bit more special. When using iron gall ink, occasional rinsing with clean water is recommended to keep the nib performing flawlessly over time.
