It has taken a few years, but we've finally added it to our "Standard Models" collection of pens.
The original rainbow custom pen. From our friends at Diamondcast, we present a beautiful, multi-color swirled pen they have called the oil slick. We created this model back in early 2018 and debuted at the DC Pen show. We named it Bifrost after the old Norse mythological "Rainbow Bridge" connecting the realms of the universe.
This is one of the first pens we offered our colored plated nibs on. This pen looks good with nearly every plating color we offer on our nibs. The optional plating can be selected upon checkout.
The body finial features a dragon-scale medallion and the cap finial features our logo medallion in rose gold. The cap posts securely by screwing onto the end of the body.
Customer Reviews
This is a large pen with cap that screws on the end so I had it done with a #8 nib, which balances the size nicely. It’s has a light, comfortable design and writes very well.
A hand-crafted fountain pen from Hinze Pens for my Xmas present. Arrived before Santa could get his sleigh ready for travelin'. Love the care, attention to detail, and customer service given. Had to tweak it to my own delight. Love a fountain pen that lays down ink like it will make it way beyond two pages or more, glistening all the way while drying. Love the color palate of my particular BiFrost. The resin sparkles. The way I could choose the color of the nib and I added a clip, not that I needed it, in the same beautiful red color. Go big or go home is my motto. In this case, if I am going to have a handmade fountain pen, decided to go all the way. Overall, I love that this is not a small pen and fits just right to my fingers. I am a lover of nice-sized fountain pens. Love, love the cap that fits securely by twisting it over the finial. Who thinks of these things at Hinze? Perfect as it gives the option for those, like myself who do not mind posting if it does not make the fountain pen feel top-heavy through writing sessions. Also, no fear of losing my beautiful cap. This BiFrost by Hinze Pens checks all of my boxes for a unique, beautiful, well-crafted, and functional fountain pen. Already it has the other fountain pens in my collection green with envy.
The pen is a gift. Hearing great reviews this is the first one purchased. Hopefully, it will live up to expectations.
The BiFrost is my favorite pen. It is beautifully designed and perfectly balanced. It is a joy to use. I give the BiFrost and Hinze Pens my strongest recommendation.
I have been collecting and using fountain pens for several decades. Each has some appeal to make it special, such as design, color, ink capacity or size (large). Some get used occasionally but one factor is reliable functionality for frequent use. Some pens are workhorses, they get used almost daily as I have to write frequently on virtually a daily basis. This pen fits all of my criteria. It has the makings of a daily workhorse with unique and vibrant colors and posting via screw. It is a good-sized pen that can be eye-dropped which is ideal for my writing sessions. Cartridge converters don't hold enough capacity. In the end, this pen really hits the key points I look for in a fountain pen, the type that makes me use it over and over while enjoying its eye-catching colors. I ordered a broad orange nib which allows for silky smooth writing. I guess the ultimate thumbs up is ordering another one of the Hinze fountain pen models, which I did!
