I'm too tired to do a full review.

 

This is an incredible pen I just purchased . It is spectacular in every aspect and it comes as I was so happy with the elemento . Great pen, great writer and my friend Rolf treated me exceptionally. these have great presence and write quite well.

 

Best,

Mike

The Parquet tiles are all laid by tiny little German Gnomes. It takes 36 Gnomes working for three weeks to lay just one complete pen. They then put on tiny little German Argyle socks and polish the surface by foot in a competition based on log rolling. Oh how the other Gnomes laugh as they spin the body of the pen until one Gnome looses his balance and falls in the bath of lacquer. The looser is often so covered in lacquer he must be pulled out and is then so stiff the only solution in to place him out in the garden under sun and rain until he can finally move again; yet even after that they rush back in and get in line to try again.

I wondered where my my little garden buddy had run off to. BTW, gorgeous pen.

Had me confused, because couldn't find anything on http://www.fabercastell.com/design/products/

so did a search on Graf Von, and found http://www.graf-von-faber-castell.us/

(not sure why the two are separate)

The two are separate because the reach two different audiences and demographics. GvFC pens are designed to higher standards than the Faber Castell ones and have more hand input.

Luxury/Refinement vs User-market basically then.

Gorgeous pen, Mike!

 

Can you describe more about the feel of the nib? My understanding these are very firm nibs. Any give to it when you write ? Any other comments about writing with it?

 

Thanks.
