General
Inoxcrom brand was registered post WWII in Spain by Maria Boix in July 1946 for writing instruments that used stainless steel for its tips and body parts, whilst manufactured in the Industrial Mava factory in Barcelona. As the market grew, the license for the Inoxcrom brand was vested into the Inoxcrom company, founded by Manuel Vaqué Ferrandis when he joined forces with Federico Jarque Serarols of Talleres Aurum, in order to consolidate its manufacturing capacity.
Features
Both barrel and cap material of this pen are using stainless-steel, so is the oversized No.6, medium size 0.70 mm nib, finished with its Iridium point. The trim including the clip are made of an 23K gold plated metal which rather nicely contrasts with the mat finished main stainless-steel pen’s body. Due to the mainly metal finish, the pen weight is 36.2 g which feels very solid but really is not very heavy. It features, click on/off cap and “modulated” black composite material as its grip section. In our writing test, this Inoxcrom writing instrument with our standard Parker Quink Black ink performed well.
Comment
Having rather large hands, covering almost 1.5 octave on my grand piano, this pen is quite comfortable for me, but for a person with smaller hands it could be a little bit on the larger side. Its medium size nib has a little bit of flexibility, but not much. Someone might even argue that it is a rigid type. In fact, I had this Inoxcrom pen for a long time and it has been through a lot of use, and not only by one person. It is ageing rather gracefully, and if you like all metal-built pen body it may be just right for you. It is definitely staying in our collection by its intended application and by the positive choice.
Ink used: Parker Quink Black, France/UK
