pininfarina CAMBIANO CLASSIC. Stylus Pen With Ethergraf® Metal Alloy Tip, Aluminum With Solid Walnut Wood Inserts, And Desk Stand. Inkless Writing Utensil

This is an ideal gift to someone who appreciates something that is well designed and beautiful. The idea of an ink-less pen that just writes and writes and writes perpetually is intriguing and it does impress. Don't expect it to write like regular pencil in terms of clarity but I think it's fine for sketches and scribbles. Your mileage may vary depending on the paper you use.

love it

This writing/drawing device is out of this world. The design and finish is superb. The pininfarina name written on it makes you feel special about having one. Only one small issue, which I guess has not much to do with the product itself: DO BE CAREFUL WITH IT. I accidentally dropped it on a marble floor and it landed on the tip. It broke and I was terribly terribly sad.

my son likes it, thank you

I got this as a gift from my father. It requires a bit of pressure to get a dark mark on regular paper but on stone paper it writes excellently and dark with little effort. This combination also makes it very waterproof. A stone paper journal plus this pen would make excellent field tools as well as desk tools for someone who likes to be out where they may get wet or rained on, you won't have to worry about the water damage!

you have to press way to hard to get this to make a mark on the paper. Not worth the money.

Very nice pencil for underlining and taking margin notes, which also invokes a sense of taste, style and exclusivity. I bought this specifically to underline annotate my entire library of print books on web development, which is extensive and growing.

This pen/pencil has a stunning look but suffers from inconsistent performance while sketching. The line quality varies greatly – from barely visible marks that could be mistaken for paper indents or tip oxidization, to bolder strokes. It heavily relies on the paper's texture to produce a decent line. Surprisingly, a cheaper inkless pencil I own outperforms it by far when it comes to controlling line darkness and consistency. But it's a great decor piece.

Qualité top! Librado avant prévu! Très satisfait!

Great product. Looks great as a piece of design, but also beautiful to use to sketch

Super

La matita arriva in un'elegante scatola di cartoncino blu serigrafata pininfarina. Una volta aperta, si scopre la scatola/base d'appoggio in legno massello perfettamente liscia e senza un difetto. La matita in mano dà un'idea di solidità, dovuta alla combinazione di legno ed alluminio. La scrittura è un po' "ruvida", il tratto è chiaro e paragonabile ad una matita H, ma indelebile. Il puntale non si consumerà mai, ergo la matita scriverà per sempre. Un ottimo regalo, anche perché dà l'idea di essere molto più costoso di quanto in realtà sia. Completamente Made in Italy.

Je suis extrêmement partagé concernant cet article. On apprécie toujours qu'un instrument d'écriture soit beau et bien fini. À ce niveau, et encore plus si l'on tient compte du prix, ce stylo est irréprochable : matériaux bois et acier de très belle qualité, design superbe, belle tenue en main, magnifique boîte en bois massif qui fait également office de support. Cinq étoiles. Mais on apprécie aussi qu'un instrument d'écriture...écrive bien. Et là, c'est plutôt décevant. La pointe donne un peu l'impression de gratter le papier plutôt que de glisser dessus, et il est nécessaire d'appuyer considérablement pour obtenir un trait clairement visible. Je pourrais davantage imaginer ce bel instrument comme servant à réaliser des croquis pour un architecte, par exemple. Ou pour coucher sur papier des choses que l'on souhaite rendre ineffaçables. Peut-être la pointe va-t-elle s'assouplir à force d'écrire avec ? À voir dans le temps. Le concept laisse donc une impression mitigée mais étant donné son originalité et la beauté sculpturale de l'objet, je ne regrette (étrangement) pas cet achat, qui sera sans doute davantage un objet de collection qu'un instrument régulièrement utilisé.
