Caran D'ache Varius Metwood

[rabiosocorazon]

Hello to everybody,

 

I'd like to introduce you my Caran d'Ache Varius Metwood that I have had for three years.

 

The body of the fountain pen is rosewood, while the cap is silver plating with rhodium-coating.

 

This is a detail in the cap with the symbol of the brand.

 

Nib B of gold of 18 k with rhodium.

 

The filling system is either by cartouche or converter. Right now, it is filled with a Caran d'Ache ink named Storm.

 

It writes pretty smoothly, and the nib is wet. Nevertheless, there is no line varation because the nib is stiff. The paper is Kimberly Classic of 90 gr.

 

Greetings!

A great pen. I just put my Metwood away about two weeks ago after realizing it was getting far more than it's fair share of pocket time.

I've just received my second hand one today ... As I don't like the ink it's filled with (should be a standard bue ...) I'm going to fill it with Iroshizuku Ama Iro to try his F nib .... Gogogo ..... I really like those swiss pens (It's my 4th one as I already have the Leman Ebony, the Ecridor 555 et the Ecridor Retro ) I saw that yours was with a broad nib, mine is the fine one ....

Beautiful pens. The wood and metal combo is really nice combo. I have a nice Hexagonal in Chinese lacquer but the grip section is so thin that its uncomfortable to use.

You're right Caran d'Ache Ecridor and Varius are rather thin (the Leman is bigger). As my hands (and fingers ...) are rather small, that's not a real problem for me (moreover, one of my clients gave me his 555 because it was too thin for him ...)

I hope you enjoy it. I also really like Caran d'Ache.

I must admit that caran d ' ache is highly underrated in general.Their quality is superb.

A pity they don't have italics or more variety in nibs

Treasure those bottles of Cd'A ink! Those three colors are extremely hard to find now, once they're gone they're gone!
