This pen is made of a celluloid derivative and is technically biodegradable and formed from a “renewable resource” even though our resin and our ebonite can last more than a lifetime – as proven by vintage pens long in existence that were stored well. The cost of this pen was kept far below the quoted equivalent costs that were 8 to as much as 36 times greater (EU, Japan, Taiwan, US, China). Noodler’s made it with better, more utilitarian materials and designs at a cost to you of $20. We did it with the help of people in: Texas, New York, California, Idaho, Maryland, Massachusetts, and India. The combination of the oldest and largest democracies in the world can increase living standards for all.
The new Noodler's Ahab flex pen is crafted from a celluloid derivative. It's profile has been inspired by the shape of the fabled White Whale of Captain Ahab. The stainless steel nib is flexible, ranging from a fine point to medium thickness depending on the pressure placed on your downstroke. Slightly larger that Noodler's Ink Flex nib, the Ahab measures almost 5 1/2" closed and 6.7" with the cap posted. Can fill by either piston pump or as an eyedropper fill. Ink cartridges can not be used in this pen.
Noodler’s pens…they are made from a celluloid derivative – and as with all celluloid pens one should NEVER use alcohol or cleaners/rinses that contain alcohols with any celluloid containing pens. Celluloid is in fact processed using none other than alcohols…so unless you want to “reverse engineer” your pen chemically…please avoid alcohol and other harsh solvents (acetones, MEK, etc..). Plane old household ammonia (normally just $1/gallon or so) mixed with a few drops of mild liquid dish soap and regular tap water is fine for almost every need for a rinse solution. If using “common water” as a rinse is your choice, remember it contains bleach and should never be mixed with ammonia.
