# Drehgriffel No.1 Gel Twist Pen - Black Ink (0.5mm) - 2025 Grow Your Mind Colours

Inspired by an original 1920 design, the Drehgriffel makes a striking statement with its hexagonal silhouette and signature Leuchtturm1917 colours. Like the twist mechanism, the narrowly tapered tip comes in a colour that contrasts with the body. The twist mechanism and refill of this multiple-design award-winning writing instrument are made in Germany. The Drehgriffel is precision milled in aluminium and brass, then varnished and sealed. It has a spring-loaded twist mechanism.

The Leuchtturm1917 “Drehgriffel” Twist Pen is precision-milled from aluminium and brass, then varnished and sealed. It has a spring-loaded twist mechanism and is available as a ballpoint pen, a gel pen and a mechanical pencil.

Inspired by the fine Asian art of writing with its filigree typeface made up of detailed characters, the Drehgriffel Nr. 1 pen now comes with a Japanese 0.5mm gel pen refill.  

**For easy and flowing handwriting**  

Gel ink has a higher viscosity than standard ballpoint pen ink. An advantage that ensures easy and flowing handwriting. Giving a line width of only 0.5mm, the Japanese gel pen refill creates particularly fine writing with a clear outline. Even with a fine stroke, the ink flows very evenly via the pen tip onto the paper.

This is due to a ceramic ball bearing which dictates the perfect flow of ink in the tip. The interaction between the ceramic’s smooth surface and the precise positioning of the ball bearing ensures a constant flow of ink despite the fact that very little ink is released.

\-Pens come standard as Ballpoint or Gel Pen with Black or Royal Blue Ink.  
\-Ballpoint refills are available as Royal Blue Fine/Medium/Bold, Black. Fine/Medium/Bold with Red and Green in Medium.  
\-Gel Pen refills are available in Royal Blue and black with 0.5mm tips.  
\-Refills for ballpoints and gel pens are interchangeable.  
\-Pencil available with 0.7mm graphite only.  
\-Barrel is precision milled aluminium, colour coated, sealed, and matt varnished.  
\-Spring-loaded twist mechanism.  
\-Brass tip.   
Available in a variety of colours matching Leuchtturm1917 notebooks and pen loops.   
To use a twist pen, simply rotate the pen barrel to extend or retract the pen tip. This mechanism makes the pen very convenient to use, eliminating the need for a separate cap or button to operate the pen tip.

The twist mechanism and refill of this multiple-design award-winning writing instrument are made in Germany.

The name “Drehgriffel” is derived from the German words Dreh (twist) and Griffel (pen)
