Scribo
About the Scribo Brand
Scribo (short for Scrittura Bolognese) is a modern Italian brand born from former OMAS employees, inspired by Bologna’s writing tradition and built for people who obsess over nib feel. Expect gold nibs in 18k (classic) or 14k extra-flexible, paired with ebonite feeds and a confident piston filling system on many models—so your pen stays generous, smooth, and ready when inspiration hits.
The Scrittura Bolognese pen company or Scribo for short was founded from former Omas employees. Made in Italy, the Scribo company utilizes similar materials and processes to craft fine writing instruments. Each Scribo pen uses the best components and comes with gold nibs, a top quality piston filling system and ebonite feeds.
"With SCRIBO, acronym for Scrittura Bolognese, we ideally take the baton so that handwriting, as an ancient art retrieval story, can be pursued."

Customer Reviews
I love this pen. I got the blue gray one because it matches my car color. I am not good at flexing but the Fine 14K flex gives the writing a nice bounce. Great in the hand. This is my first Scribo and will probably not be my last.

Cool bottle of ink. Heavy glass bottle that can stack onto other Scribo inks. Looks good on a desk or shelf. Cap seems like a apple juice twist lid. Not sure how well it will seal. Only time will tell.Can accommodate large pens for filling.
