If you're a sucker for packaging This is the classic Delta packaging with the black pin box and the outer sleeve Inside you have your information about Delta your pin your warranty how to use it They're branding on their packaging and products is very clean and I like that Inside your pin is settled in really securely in a plastic sleeve. All right in the Delta Hippocratica collection is a tribute to Hippocrates Hippocrates is known as the father of Western medicine and it's widely believed that he wrote the Hippocratic oath Which is the oath that historically doctors and health care professionals swear to That has them swearing upon certain gods that they will practice medicine ethically and honestly Okay The thing that catches the eye first is probably the pin clip and the pin clip is a beautiful representation of the rod of asclepias Which is often associated with healing and medicine when it's basically a serpent and twined around a rod that A Greek god named asclepias was said to carry. Okay, let's jump forward to the nib This is a stainless steel nib and it's got the Delta branding on it and previous versions of the Hippocratica featured Delta's fusion nib, but the 2023 release is a stainless steel nib We are always intrigued when the pin has a design that has a threaded post So I wanted to feature that It's a cartridge converter fountain pin and each of these Delta Hippocratica fountain pins are hand-turned from solid bars of special red and blue resins and then the trim is a special metal alloy plated with a precious rhodium The cartridge converter is compatible with standard international size ink cartridges and converters But it also comes with a converter already installed in the pin Don't miss new pin releases subscribe to pinch lay and shop at pinch lay comm
