The writing instruments used for fine writing are made with high quality materials, which include precious metals like silver and gold. They are mainly designed for professionals, resulting in more sophisticated, fashionable looks compared to normal, disposable pens and pencils. They are more durable and are reusable when you refill the pen or pencil. Some of them also have warranties in case the pen or pencil malfunctions. They are a great investment to have and last much longer than generic pens and pencils when taken care of correctly.
