Solano ballpoint pen kit by Beaufort

Create a clean, modern writing instrument with the Solano ballpoint pen kit by Beaufort. With its finial-mounted twist mechanism and subtle knurling near the finial, the Solano offers smooth action, reliable performance, and contemporary styling. The Solano combines modern lines with Beaufort’s high-precision engineering. The twist mechanism is mounted in the finial for a clean silhouette, and the knurled finial adds an attractive contemporary accent.

TIP: This is the same tooling used for the Headwind kit.

What refill does this kit use?

Each kit includes a Beaufort Ink Parker-style ballpoint refill. You can also convert it to a pencil using a Parker-style Forever pencil refill.

What blank size do I need?
