Matte Black, No Frills
The body of the Arcanus is made of metal with a matte black lacquer finish, free of shine and with clean lines. What sets it apart only becomes clear once you hold it: its weight.
44 Grams and a Substantial Grip
At 44 grams, the Arcanus is noticeably heavier than our Legno, Nobilis, and Urban ballpoint pens (34 to 35 grams). With a diameter of 1.6 centimeters, it is thicker than a slim office pen; many hands hold a pen like this more comfortably, because the fingers need to grip less tightly.
“A silky-smooth writing feel. The ballpoint pen sits well in the hand, and its pleasant weight makes for beautiful, flowing strokes.”
From a German customer review
Refill and Mechanism
One twist of the upper barrel and the tip extends. Inside is a German-made G2 refill that writes smoothly in blue or black. When it runs out, any G2 replacement refill fits.
Personally Engraved on Request
We laser-engrave the metal upper barrel, front and back on request, with up to 30 characters per side and in six fonts. The preview shows you how the engraving will look before you order. We engrave in Dresden. The Arcanus comes in the Hörner gift box.
The series also includes the Arcanus Rollerball Pen, the Arcanus Fountain Pen, and the Arcanus Set.

That depends on your hand. 44 grams is noticeably more than a typical ballpoint pen; if you like writing with some weight, it feels steadier. If you prefer something lighter, choose the Nobilis or Urban at 34 grams.
