Sheaffer Legacy Glossy Black Inlaid Nib Fountain Pen
Some design decisions age well. The Sheaffer inlaid nib, first introduced in 1959 on the Pen for Men, is one of them. Rather than sitting proud of the grip section as a conventional nib does, it was fused directly into the body, creating a smooth, continuous silhouette and a writing feel that's notably stable and controlled. The Legacy 9064 brings that nib back in a form that feels entirely of the present, finished in high-gloss black lacquer with chrome-plated trims.
It's a pen that doesn't demand attention but rewards a closer look.
The Inlaid Nib
The stainless steel inlaid nib is the centrepiece of the Legacy 9064. Set flush into the grip section and marked with a custom Sheaffer engraving, it delivers a writing experience that's smooth and consistent, with less flex than an exposed nib. The integration also means ink flow is more stable, and the nib itself is more resistant to the minor knocks that pen life inevitably involves. Available in fine, medium, and broad to suit different handwriting styles and paper weights.
Materials and Construction
The barrel and cap are made from brass, finished in deep gloss black lacquer. It's the kind of finish that shows fingerprints honestly and polishes back just as easily. Chrome-plated trims run along the cap band and clip, providing a clean contrast without visual fuss. The snap-on cap closes securely and opens cleanly, with no threading to slow things down. The pen accepts both cartridges and the included Sheaffer classic converter for bottled ink.
In the Box
Each Legacy 9064 arrives in a premium gift box containing the fountain pen with converter fitted, two ink cartridges in black and blue, a lint-free cleaning cloth, and a leather pouch for carrying or storage. It's a complete set, genuinely useful from the first day.
Who This Pen Is For
The Legacy 9064 suits a writer who prefers a pen that works without ceremony. The inlaid nib writes well whether you're moving quickly through notes or settling into something longer. The medium nib is the most forgiving across paper types; the fine is better suited to ruled notebooks or smaller script; the broad rewards slow, deliberate writing. If you're upgrading from an entry-level fountain pen, this is a meaningful step. If you already know what you want from a nib, the Legacy delivers it reliably.
