Stilform
Normally I don't go in for advertising products on this site (or indeed any other) but I thought this was interesting.
Stilform_Ink
Looks to be a machined, faceted metal pen (aluminium or titanium I think) sporting a screw-in Bock nib. The interesting thing about the design, at least to me and hope others, is the cap closing mechanism. Not sure exactly how they did it, but a pair (at least) of neodymium magnets force the cap to snap on and automatically align the facets of the cap and barrel. Removing the cap requires only a slight twist to disengage the magnets.
I though it was quite a neat application of the properties of magnets, and the pen looks like quite the contender to brands such as Kaweco. Aesthetically I quite like it too.

Re: Stilform
It took a while to realize what it reminds me of. Apple pencil, of course.

Re: Stilform
I purchased a Stilform gel pen - am I allowed to mention gel pens? - and I like it a lot. It has an unusual shape - two flat sides, two curved sides - and also has a magnetic cap that is fun to fiddle with. Their products are stylish but not cheap. However, at the time of purchase they were offering a good Black Friday discount and postage from Germany to the UK was free. Stilform could well be a brand to watch in the coming years.
