Why Cherry?
Cherry red makes a bold statement on any desk. With its Royal Blue ink, it gives your notes a classic red-and-blue contrast that never goes out of style.
Cherry belongs to Leuchtturm1917's 2026 colour collection, so this Cherry Drehgriffel ballpoint can match your notebook or planner in the same shade.
Twist, write, twist back
'Drehgriffel' means 'twist grip' in German, so turn the grip of the Cherry Drehgriffel ballpoint and the tip appears; turn it back and it retracts. The Cherry pen has no button to click and no clip to snag, just a clean hexagonal body that rests comfortably between the fingers and does not roll away.
The refill
The Cherry Drehgriffel ballpoint comes with a Royal Blue, document-proof refill with a medium line, suitable for signatures as well as notes. When the Cherry refill runs out, the pen takes G2-format refills, including Leuchtturm1917's Flow refills in black and blue.
