Founded in 1919, Platinum has been producing high quality fountain pens for over 100 years. They are considered one of the "Big Three" of Japanese major pen manufacturing. Platinum holds that title alongside Pilot and Sailor, producing some of the highest quality fountain pens in Japan.

Platinum nibs are usually made out of 18K gold, but can sometimes be found with 14K, 22K, and even 23K gold in pens produced at the height of the karat wars. They are marked with Chinese symbols known as "Kanji" which indicate the nib size. By translating these symbols, we can properly determine the nib size of each pen.
