About Leuchtturm1917 Drehgriffel Ballpoint Pen - Red

Drehgriffel is a word made up of two components – Dreh, meaning to twist or turn, which stems from the innovative turning mechanism, and Griffel, based on the oldest writing utensil in the world (from the Greek grapheion). They reflect this deeply rooted traditional company.

This writing instrument was intended to be something truly special – the perfect combination of an iconic design and a distinctive writing experience. And the Drehgriffel (Dreh [dre:] Griffel ['ɡrɪfl̩]) was the result. The Drehgriffel is manufactured from precision-milled aluminium and brass, then painted and sealed.

The Leuchtturm Drehgriffel ballpoint pen features a spring-loaded twist mechanism and comes fitted with a blue refill. Blue and Black refills are available.
