Uranus '2018' Multifunction pen
Need bottled ink or
refills?
A creative customer penned two Haiku poems upon receiving his Multifunction pen: Multifunction rolls Brush now to be used John Brown, Billericay, United Kingdom "I do not remember if I sent you
feedback about the Uranus. Great pen! I am studying some Chinese ideograms, and
Uranus has become at once my tool!!! I love that wax seal in your message. That
is the kind of thing I am willing to adopt as procedure in some personal
messages." "I wanted to finally send you
feedback on the Uranus 2018 I received about a month ago. I must say I don't
have experience with Chinese calligraphy, but my 6 year old son and I enjoy
drawing Katakana and Hiragana [& some Kanji] characters and just doodling with
brushes, and this pen is ideal for that, a step above the disposable brush pens
from Kinokuniya. It's also quite satisfying for crossing things off to-do lists.
The roller-ball end is great for notes in margins and other fine-point
situations. Additionally it's an interesting and unique pen for my collection." "Norman, my order arrived
yesterday. I appreciate the really fast turn-around and the personal touches.
Though I purchased a pen, I felt like I received a really special gift! And of
course I love the Uranus pen. I am not a calligrapher, but I am an artist, and
having a pen with a rollerball and a brush-tip that both use the "Norman, the pen arrived yesterday.
It is a beaut! The chrome is clear and bright. The blue is very "deep". I have
written a little with it and it is very smooth...and I noticed the line is a
little smaller than a "normal" rollerball (I am currently using a Waterman with
a cross rollerball refill). I think I like the smaller line." See how a customer uses her '2018' to practice her
calligraphy here #2018 Multifunction pen
Measuring a bit over 5-1/4" with both ends capped, this versatile writing instrument is a combination unlike anything I've ever seen. This all-metal pen is finished in a lustrous, deep-blue lacquer, and from the outside looks like any other, normal Uranus pen.
Unscrewing the cap above the clip reveals a super-smooth rollerball, fed by liquid ink. The metal tip allows for the most demanding writing, from the Sunday crossword puzzle to multipart forms. But, unlike the pasty 'ink' used in a conventional ballpoint, this liquid-ink rollerball provides for a smooth, skip-free writing experience, allowing for a quick note -- or an extended writing session.
Although designed in China for the drawing of characters when on-the-go, the brush also holds some interesting possibilities for sketching in the hands of a western artist, or anyone who likes to experiment with different tools for drawing. It certainly makes for a unique addition to any pen collection!

The characters
shown in the photos were written by my wife, using the pen a couple of minutes
after its arrival. Although the feel was slightly different from a real brush,
she said, the faux-brush allowed her to control thick and thin lines, by varying
the pressure applied (just like a traditional brush -- whether holding it
with a regular western 'pen grip', or the more traditional Asian position, as
shown here:
