Hey everyone,

 

I've seen a lot of comments regarding the turquoise and (to a lesser extent) red iterations of the LE, does anyone own the smoke version?

 

I must admit that as much as the turquoise colour looks hypnotic, the smoke/ruthenium combination makes for a much more subtle pen for daily use (if indeed one were inclined to use an LE on a daily basis). I've got one on the way from Bryant, and will supply my own impressions upon arrival.

 

Thanks!

Jack.

I got mine from John Mottishaw, with an EF nib. It's like writing with a feather, so smooth, with a fine wet line, no pressure needed at all. The pen itself is sleek and elegant with the ruthenium. You've picked a winner.

Mine just arrived on Friday afternoon. The pen is phenomenally well constructed, it feels really solid and everything just lines up so perfectly. I'm in awe of the design, but my hand protests to the triangular shape... I had no choice but to put it back in the box and put it up for sale...

 

Raging, I hope you have better luck with yours! (I've seen posts of your collection though, something tells me you get along with the 360's profile :D)

go for it if you have the funds

Pens are like watches , once you start a collection, you can hardly go back. And pens like all fine luxury items do improve with time

Based on the publicity photos, they'll be beautiful pens, but expensive.

I know. And, I'm going to be getting a bronze arco with gold trim and stub nib. So for me it's worth the price. But I presume you agree that $1500, even with a good discount, is expensive for a pen?

Yes, I agree with you. I paid my oversized Arco Italiana with High Tech Trim and sterling silver section in second hand at a price of 520€ instead of 880€.I always had good prices because I always was a good client of Mr Mora who reserves me the rare pens he knows I am aware of. Question of luck of course.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
