To provide a writing utensil which has a pen body retracted by writing pressure in writing, can change chirographic width like a pen point of a fountain pen, has an inflection feeling, and can adjust a retraction amount by the writing pressure of the pen body, in a writing utensil including a pen body formed by annularly arranging a plurality of bendable pen point pieces and forming the tip side thereof into a tapered shape.

A pen body 6 having a plurality of pen point pieces 3 each including an ink outflow path 5 on one end side and formed by gathering tips thereof to be formed into a tapered shape is arranged on an outer periphery of a pen body holding member 7 having an ink flow passage 8 and a slit 15 communicating with the ink flow passage 8 and opened outward to be movable rearward by writing pressure in writing and to be elastically repulsive by a coil spring 31 in the forward direction. By arranging an adjustment rotating body 28 and an adjustment movable body 25 movable forward/backward by rotating the adjustment rotating body 28, and moving the adjustment movable body 25 forward, elastic repulsive force of the coil spring 31 in the forward direction for the pen body 6 can be changed.
