Noodler's Pima Tortoise Material Is Gorgeous...

I've always been a huge fan of Noodler's and Nathan, but they've always been undeniably drab in their color offerings for me. But I want more of these deep, luscious tortoise materials.

Wow. Is that new? I don't remember that color before. What models does it come on? Please say FPC or Konrad -- or maybe not, I've kinda blown the discretionary budget for the time being.... :wallbash:

Perhaps we are living in a very nostalgic environment here in fpn, maybe we don't know but now it is a golden age of new modern fountain pens and we ignore it yet, I think specialy in Italian, German and Chinese production. This Nathan sure will be a classic in 80 years from now.

I want one now. This is the Ahab model, too big for my hands. But this material really looks beautiful in photos.

I just got the pima tortoise and filled it with Stormy Grey. The pen is really beautiful and the nib and feed work great. I'm super happy with it.

 

The ink has no gold yet (am hoping once I use up some of the ink more gold flecks will appear on the page--for now I can't get my syringe or pipette in the ink fast enough to get any sparkle). But it is really a perfect degree of lubrication for this pen and I am a big fan of dark grey inks.

 

I think it's a great combo and will be even more so as I get down to the bottom of the bottle and the nib gets a bit broken in.

Just discovered this material in Ahab myself. No clue why tortoise seems so rare in modern pens..it *always* looks great. Have one of these on order and it will become my main writing pen. can't wait to ink it up and will have 8 or so inks to choose from!

      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
