Scriptus Toronto 2014 Show Update


D Armstrong

Recommended Posts

With only five weeks until Scriptus 2014, we have lots of good developments to report:


-we have nearly 40 exhibitors booked, from across North America, including our seven main sponsors. We also have a few "value-added" tables, which we will announce over the coming weeks.


-we have a great diversity among exhibitors, but it's all about writing: pens and pencils, both vintage & new; art papers and calligraphy supplies; inks in every conceivable colour and kind; fine stationery; writing-related ephemera & equipment.


-representatives of major manufacturers, eager to show off their latest products and hear your input as to what makes a great pen.


-Sean Gosse, formerly of PenRx has been confirmed to do on-site repairs and nib work. It has been four years since you could simply walk your pen into someplace and walk out with it just the way you like, so take advantage of this chance!


On the invisible side of things, we are working hard to ensure that the day goes without a hitch. This includes working closely with the venue coordinators, exhibitors, and show volunteers to make sure that you have a great time. We are in the process of assigning table locations, and working up the details of a final publicity campaign. Keep an eye on our Twitter feed (@ScriptusToronto) and Facebook page for all the latest news and announcements.


Stay tuned, and we look forward to seeing you on November 2!

      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
