It served me so well during my studying and I could always depend on it to quickly jot down notes wherever, whenever. It almost seems like Platinum took all of our criticisms about the first version and made a much better, retractable fountain pen. You're welcome, world. Get curious about the Curidas. It's a retractable fountain pen that won't dry out for 6 months and you can remove the clip, which is something that many people wish a Vanishing Point could do but doesn't. With a retail price under $100, it's also more affordable than a VP. You can try one out at Goldspot (remember: use the affiliate link & the coupon code!) or another Platinum Pen retailer of choice.Each pen is individually numbered and is limited to 50 pieces worldwide, these will go fast so don’t wait!
