Just picked this up at Phidon Pens in Cambridge Ontario (1hr from Toronto) - it's great! I think this is the first time Franklin Christoph's "Ice" finish has been available at a Canadian retailer.

 

Phidon will be bringing these to the Scriptus pen show in Toronto this weekend (Sunday Nov 2) - go check them out if you're in the area!

You're welcome! Let Phdion Pens know you saw my post on FPN :)

 

What about a writing sample?

 

Will post one tomorrow. I didn't go for one of the Matsuyama CI's, although I'll be ordering one. The Fine nib writes very nicely. Smooth, stiff, pleasant.

Wow, that is a very unique design; the frosting is indeed lovely!

 

I found a couple of additional images in a search:

      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

      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
