# Silver-Made Inkless Pens The ZAI is an Inkless Pen Made with a Silver Point and an Ergonomic Build By Elena Rahman | Published 2021-09-17 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-zai References: [yankodesign](http://yankodesign.com/2021/09/15/made-from-silver-and-metal-alloy-this-ergonomic-pen-surpasses-the-regular-wooden-pencil-with-its-ink-less-design/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed:+yankodesign) & [bahint](https://bahint.com/) The ZAI boasts a modern and ergonomic design. Made with a silverpoint composed of metal alloy and silver, the ZAI was designed by a team at BAH International. Through the ZAI pen's inkless design, the company aims to cut the cost burden and environmental impact of conventional wooden pencils. Scribes, illustrators, and architects have used the [inkless silverpoint pen](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/qui-magnetic-pencil-system) since ancient times. The design team at BAH International created the ZAI Pencil to last a lifetime due to its silver material. Consumers can choose between a [colorful aluminum barrel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aluminum-sphere) or a rustic wooden design to recreate the feel of a pencil. The aluminum design is slightly shorter than the wooden option, but both write with smooth line strokes due to the ZAI's [ergonomic feel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/p3n-pen).
