Anterique Ballpoint Pen Grip Section Orange

The Anterique grip section in Orange/Gold is the front part of the two-piece BP1 ballpoint pen from Japan – and the part that counts when writing. It houses the oil-based ballpoint refill with ultra-low viscosity and the precisely manufactured 0.5 mm ball, which leaves an even, low-resistance line on paper. The plastic body is light and slim in the hand, and the warm orange with gold-colored accents gives the pen a clear, friendly character.

Special Features

• Oil-based ink with ultra-low viscosity: The so-called Mach-Ball ink flows noticeably more smoothly than classic ballpoint pen ink – the line starts immediately without scratching or stuttering, even during extended writing.
• Precise 0.5 mm ball tip: The fine ball enables narrow, clearly defined lines – easy to read, even with small handwriting or in tight notebooks.
• Two-piece system: The grip section can be combined with various Anterique end pieces. This creates a personally assembled pen from the available colors in the range.
• Light plastic body: With a maximum diameter of 10 mm and approximately 142 mm length (when assembled), the pen remains slim enough for any pocket while stable enough for intensive use.
• Color Orange/Gold: Warm, saturated orange with gold-colored accents – a color combination reminiscent of Japanese retro design from the 1960s without appearing nostalgic.
• Document-proof: The black oil-based ballpoint pen ink is document-proof and smudge-resistant after drying.

Application & Tips

• The 0.5 mm refill is particularly suitable for bullet journaling, calendar entries, and dense notes – wherever space is limited and lines need to remain clean.
• The grip section contains the refill and is the functional core of the pen – those with multiple end pieces can use the same refill in different color combinations.
• Oil-based ink dries quickly enough on most smooth papers to avoid smudging when turning pages – even on denser, calendered paper.
• Recommended for left-handers: The low-viscosity ink dries quickly and smudges less than gel-based inks with higher moisture content.
• Refill can be replaced – the Anterique BP1 replacement refill (available separately) fits directly into the grip section.

For Ballpoint Pen Enthusiasts

The Anterique BP1 works with a spring-loaded ball tip that mechanically regulates ink flow – this prevents ink blots when putting pen to paper and ensures controlled, consistent application over the entire writing life of the refill. The oil-based ink (not gel ink) has a practical advantage: it barely sticks to the writing surface and can be cleanly corrected with ink eraser or correction fluid – relevant for anyone writing in planners or forms where corrections occur.
