The Touchdown pen, with plastic body, is light and well balanced, making it comfortable for those who prefer lighter pens. Its fit and finish are excellent, without looking like a low-end model. Although it has less ink capacity than the Snorkel or PFM, this is due to its simpler mechanism. Sheaffer's "leak-proof" clip is a practical detail. The Touchdown is easy to fill and fun to use.

Fountain pens are Sheaffer's specialty. Already the very creation of the brand in 1913 was supported by a fountain pen-related patent: the lever system. And throughout these more than one hundred years, the brand has continued to reinvent itself to offer customers the highest quality in its fountain pens. It has brought to the world of fountain pens inks, loading devices and designs of great importance in the market. The white dot that shines in most of its creations is the hallmark and distinctive feature by which its high quality is recognized.
