The pen is made of a clear demonstrator resin body, with silver trim. There is a silver ring at the center of the pen, a removable silver clip, and a stainless steel silver-colored nib to match the rest of the trim on the pen. It has a black feed and it is a retractable pen. A small knob on the end allows you to retract the nib in and out of the barrel of the pen.This knob is quite long because of the travel of the pen. It is made to travel quite deep into the pen, but also extend quite far out, which allows you to actually see the nib more while you are writing. Since you can see the end of the nib it is easier than some of the other retractable nib pens where they are quite short and don't extend out very far.On the body of the pen, it is engraved with Platinum, Made In Japan, and Curidas on the barrel. To change the ink on the pen, you would unscrew the back section of the body, and it comes off. There is a small housing for the Platinum converter or cartridge that removes with a half twist and pops out, which removes the whole nib section. Then there is another half twist, which the housing will come off the nib of the pen. You can then put a converter on the pen, which is not included, or a Platinum ink cartridge, they slide on the end of the feed. You would then slide the housing back on with the half click. Then the nib section goes right back in with the half click as well. And the body then screws back on.One of the nice features of the Curidas pen is the clip. A lot of people do not like the clips on the retractable nib pens. So, Platinum includes a small tool with the pen, which just slides on to the body of the pen. You push it on, and then you slide it towards the back, and the clip comes right off the pen.So, if you don't want to use the pen with the clip, it does have a small extension on the barrel that sticks out where the clip attaches to keep it from rolling off the table. There's also a little knob on the other side of the pen as well. This is for the actual extension mechanism. You can see how it fits right into that little groove, and that allows the pen to extend out.The mechanism inside is actually made of plastic to keep it from rusting and/or deteriorating with the ink. But it also never touches the nib, and that is for that long travel with the nib. It allows the mechanism never to touch the end of the tip of the nib, which is great because it will not wear out the nib on the pen as it is pushing it out. It's actually controlled by the rest of the mechanisms inside, which is a nice feature. The pen also will hold ink for up to six to eight months without drying out which is another nice feature of the pen.Great new pen from Platinum, great retractable nib system.
