First of all I'd just like to say that only sailor could pull off a sea creatures/sea slug fountain pen collection. It's completely original and that's what I love about sailor. They like thinking out of the box. So does Kingdom Note for that matter. Previously they had the vegetable collection, which was pretty interesting … Continue reading Kingdom Note x Sailor – Blue Mino Sea Slug
Franklin Christoph hardly ever sells their prototype pens on the website, so when I saw that they were selling the model 66 and the model 45 in nuclear green, I jumped on the chance to see them for myself and ordered them both. Yes, it's excessive, but they have a 30 day return policy that … Continue reading Franklin-Christoph in Nuclear Green
I don't think there's been a more anticipated fountain pen purchase for me in quite some time. I've also never come across as many fake versions of a fountain pen, as I have for this one, so buyer beware, because there are a whole lot of copies out there and just as many unscrupulous sellers … Continue reading Montblanc Heritage 1912 Fountain Pen
I never thought I would see a Gray Montblanc, never thought they existed until I came across one while browsing eBay. But here it is. A Vintage Gray 342 Montblanc. It's on the small side, but it still fits quite nicely in my hand, and it's very light. And the very best part, is that … Continue reading Vintage Montblanc 342 Gray
I ordered the Wancher Urushi Dream Pen knowing full well that it would take 4 to 5 months to ship due to the kickstarter. Everyone that's ever invested in kickstarter items knows that it's months before you see the finished product. And yes sometimes those timelines are stretched. But I've never had one stretch … Continue reading Review: Wancher Urushi Fountain Pen
My first stop at the Atlanta Pen Show is always Franklin-Christoph, pictured farther down below. They're special edition and prototype pens are the highlight of my day. Which is why I walked away with a prototype Pocket Model 20 with Antique glass barrel pen. This time I attended on Friday and took the time to … Continue reading Atlanta Pen Show 2019 Pics
The Easter egg hunt continues with the Sailor Nonble Night Blue Fountain pen. The list of Sailor Special Edition Pens is long, much longer than I could have ever expected. And you really never know when you're going to find one. This one was found on Ebay, but you gotta snatch them quick because they're … Continue reading Sailor Nonble Night Blue
This pen has been on my wishlist for some time and yet I never seriously considered purchasing it until recently. Not because I couldn't afford to purchase it, and not because I didn't think it was a beautiful pen, but because when I look at the Lamy Dialog 3, I could either see myself loving … Continue reading Review: Lamy Dialog 3 Piano White
So I've said before that I'm on the search for the perfect flex pen. I know that nothing will come as close to the perfection of a dip pen with a Nikko G, or a Blue Pumpkin, or my personal favorite the Brause 66 nib. Not unless you use those nibs on a fountain pen, … Continue reading The Vintage Flex Pen – Waterman
When I was a kid my Dad bought me a glass pen from a road side vendor in Venice Italy, but I had no idea what to do with it. I didn't really understand the idea of dipping the nib in ink and writing with it. It was a beautiful pen made of blue glass … Continue reading FireSider Glass: The Implosion Grip Jellyfish Pen
