Recommended Posts

While roaming the "New Arrivals" section of Jetpens I came across a new finish for the Liliput. It's called fireblue and it's incredible.

And it's sold out. I can see why.

 

EDIT: Here is the link to see more pictures.

Indeed but it is a very unique looking metal FP.

I think this pen is gorgeous. But it's not worth $168 to me.

In my opinion, the finish is enough to make it worth $168. Now if only I could find one....

Buy a regular Lil, and take a blow torch to it.

Would that work on the their copper, brass or stainless pens ?

I doubt it.

The steel is raw (whatever that means) and they use some kind of oil on it to create patterns.

I would love to try it but the stainless and copper are over a $100

Might as well step and get it done right for $168

Probably it would not work on their other pens but not totally certain it's worth the premium price tag too.

Looks like it has been case hardened.

I much prefer the Copper finish, and have been really tempted to get one because the exterior design of the Lilliput really appeals to me, but I find the inability to use anything other than cartridges a huge negative.

I'm not sure I'd like the pen, but I am fascinated with the appearance and finishing process. If one ever shows up on Classifieds, I'll probably be on it!

but $168 is just a little over the top

 

Considering that finish is entirely handmade, you also have to factor in the cost of human labour to the materials cost.

 

What's the hourly rate of a master German pen maker these days?

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
