Description
India's national animal on a fountain pen? We couldn't resist. The Opus 88 Mini Bengal Tiger fountain pen is a pocket-sized eyedropper pen in a vibrant yellow striped acrylic resin, inspired by the Bengal tiger's unmistakable coat and finished with chrome trim. It's bold, fun and a guaranteed conversation starter.
Why fountain pen fans love the Opus 88 Mini
- Compact: just 117mm capped, so it slips into any pocket
- Full-size when posted: 138mm with the cap on the back
- Chunky grip: a 14.5mm diameter that's comfortable for long writing
- Big ink supply: eyedropper filling means the whole barrel holds ink
- Light: 24g in total
The eyedropper advantage
An eyedropper pen skips the cartridge and converter altogether. You fill the barrel straight from an ink bottle using a dropper or blunt syringe, which means far more ink on board than a typical cartridge pen. If you write a lot, or simply love experimenting with bottled inks, it's a very rewarding way to use a fountain pen.
Pick your nib
The steel nib comes in Extra Fine, Fine, Medium, Broad and a 1.4 Stub. For daily notes, Fine or Medium is ideal. For expressive lettering and signatures, the stub is great fun.
Made in Taiwan
Opus 88 is a Taiwanese brand known for colourful acrylics and practical eyedropper designs. The Mini is one of its signature pens, and the Bengal Tiger is a highlight of its animal-inspired collection.
