Twsbi Pp019 And Pp025

[23Larsen]

Forgive me if there already is a topic on this, i did a search and could not find any. I found it a little weird that there was no discussion on the recent update from TWSBI.

 

On their Facebook page they came with some new pictures of the PP019 wood version, which they say is the same as the PP025 PMMA version. Furthermore they say it has a similar styling as the Micarta, except a little bigger and both pens would have a piston filler. I love the Micarta and i must admit i find these new pens interesting. The wooden version i think would be hard to resist if/when it is released.

if/when it is released.

 

Exactly

[Notgatherox]

Not too soon, that's for sure...

 

According to our local TWSBI dealer, the new offerings that are coming up from TWSBI would be the 580 Colours, Vac Mini and TWSBI Eco...

 

So those models, would probably turn up next year at the earliest.

 

Oh well, we have to wait then! Good things are worth waiting for!

Yes, i expect it to be quite the wait. The Vac mini i´m excited about, i´m really looking forward to that one. The 580-variations and the Eco not so much...

I could definitely go for the PP025. The wooden ones look pretty nice as well.

TWSBI first talked about making a fountain pen out of wood in March of this year. I have been waiting ever since and expect I will be waiting for another year or so before they actually produce the pen. I hope the wait will be worth it and look forward to finding out what woods they actually decide to use.

 

I am rather intrigued by the acrylic (PMMA) pen prototypes as well; another long wait, I am sure, but I will be watching for these as well.

 

Very cool that both of these models will have piston filling systems like most of TWSBI's fountain pens - at least, that is what they plan to use at this point in the design process. I really like my Micarta v.2 but the C/C filling system was a bit of a disappointment.

I'll take a striated wooden one if/when they are released. Not holding my breath though.

I'll be buying a wooden TWSBI when it comes out. I regret not going for the TWSBI Micarta when it was still available.

Steve J, the Micarta is available from at least one UK seller, if you're interested (no affiliation, except for being a repeat customer).
