Description
This shark ballpoint pen brings a little of the sea to your desk, with a plastic body moulded to look like a shark from its rounded nose to its tail. The top is a deep navy blue and the underside is white, with a red mouth at the nose, a fin on top, another beneath and three gill lines along the side, so it reads as a shark the moment you pick it up. The writing tip is white and the pen writes in blue ink, a sensible everyday colour for notes, lists and cards. A navy lid slips over the tip when you are not writing. It is 16.5cm long, 1.7cm wide and 3.2cm high, and it weighs just 22 grams, so it is light enough to carry about all day.
It earns its place on a home office desk, in a pencil case or in the pot beside the kitchen notepad, ready for shopping lists, phone messages and the daily crossword. At 16.5cm long it is a full-length pen rather than a mini novelty, so it suits proper writing just as well as doodles in the margin. We like it in a study or workspace that could do with a little character, where it brings a smile to the dullest to-do list.
The pen and its lid are both made from plastic, and the moulded detail runs along the body, from the gill lines to the fins. To keep it looking its best, wipe it with a soft damp cloth and dry it, and pop the lid back on the tip when you have finished writing so it stays clean in a bag or pencil case. As a small gift it is easy to wrap, and it pairs nicely with a plain notebook for a cheerful desk present.
