The Homo Sapiens 'Skylight', the latest addition to Visconti's iconic Homo Sapiens series, is truly an engineering marvel, showcasing all the unique benefits of the original award-winning Homo Sapiens with the addition of the new extraordinary 'Skylight' windows. These two transparent windows transform the Homo Sapiens into a unique demonstrator, where the user can seeing the remaining ink level and Visconti's patented 'double reservoir' vacuum filling system.

Like the original Homo Sapiens Bronze Age, the Skylight is made from volcanic lava rock making it virtually unbreakable, heat resistant to over 100° C, Slightly hygroscopic (absorbing moisture during use), and dense to the touch making it comfortable to grip and relaxing to write with. All trims are made from natural solid bronze, and the cap closes with Visconti's patented 'hook safe lock'.

The Visconti design and engineering teams have worked hard to add innovative new features to the Skylight. Two 'Skylight' viewing windows give the user a view of the ink flowing within the pen. A large window cut into the barrel and trimmed in natural bronze, offers a view of ink in the larger ink reservoir, and a smaller ink window that replaces the traditional "Homo Sapiens" metal band behind the grip offers a view of ink in the second, smaller ink reservoir. These two ink reservoirs make up Visconti's patented double reservoir power filler. Patented in 1998, the double reservoir power filler allows the user to fill a fountain pen with the equivalent of up to 10 cartridges of ink and, utilizing a cutoff valve between the two reservoirs, prevents ink from leaking during air travel.

The Homo Sapiens Skylight sports your choice of an 18K gold (Extra Fine, Fine, Medium, and 1.3mm Stub) or 23K Palladium (Broad) nib and arrives in the standard Homo Sapiens display box.

Great for smaller dogs
Size: Small
These two balls are perfect for the smaller mouthed dog that loves to play fetch. These balls are not only super durable (lots of teeth biting), but float in the baby pool we use for our miniature dachshunds. The value here is much better than you’d find anywhere else. The noise, if bitten hard enough, was “low” at best. Easy to spot/find if overthrown. Will definitely buy again once these are in bad repair; so far, so good-love these for my fur babies!

My dogs favorite balls
Size: Medium
These are great for my dog who always has to have a ball in her mouth. Not too hard so I don't have to worry about her teeth. They last for ever. They do lose their shape a little over time (like I said, she always has a ball in her mouth) they become a little oval in shape. They still bounce, she still chases it and she still chews on it so I don't think she notices or cares. I've gotten her a bag full of these over time and I have only seen one that she chewed a chunk out.

My Dachshunds Love These
Size: Small
These balls are durable, flexible material, highly chewable without being easily destroyed. I stuff them with Milkbone Maro Snacks, which are just the right size to twist into the holes in the ball. My dogs literally get an hour+ chewing and chasing entertainment from these. They chew them, they sometimes 'pop' out of their mouths, go rolling across the floor, dogs chasing them. This satisfies their urge to hunt prey. Dachshunds can easily tear this kind of stuff-it-toy apart. These have lasted for a long time without tearing or shredding. I would NOT recommend them for a dog much larger than a tweenie weenie. They're a bit on the small side and might be swallowed by a larger dog. It would be cool it they also came in a larger size (and probably ball wall thickness also) for the bigger dogs to enjoy. These stuff-it chew balls are better than the kong balls my dogs had before these. Highly recommend them.

My puppy’s favorite fetch toy!
Size: Small
Update Aug 27, 2024: After 10 months, these are still his favorite ball. He’s obsessed with fetching and plays with them all day. They do bounce really high. Unfortunately, the small size aren’t available for sale anywhere anymore. I tried the medium size, and he has a bit of trouble hanging on to them, but he manages. Weirdly, he prefers the orange one, but he also plays with the blue one. My 7 month old Shih Tzu puppy loves to fetch, and these are his new favorites. They’re small enough to fit in his mouth, and they are made of hard plastic, so he’s able to hold on to them. They have a lot of bounce, and this adds to the fun for him. I highly recommend them.

Genuinely bummed that these great balls can’t stand up against my Chloè.
Size: Medium
I love all the Chuckit brand of balls. I found that the Strabo and glow balls in the Chuckit line are the softest, and as such, don't last as long as the rest of Chuckit line of balls. Having said that, they do last longer than than every other brand I've tried (and I do believe I’ve tried every brand available on the market today.) The strato balls do bounce higher than any of the other balls in the Chuckit line. They really are a good value.
