Eboya And Stylo-Art

Recommended Posts

These are two pens from Eboya and Stylo-Art.

Eboya is made in ebonite and carry a Bock fine nib tuned to 0.18 EF by John Mottishaw (similar to a Nakaya EF).

Stylo-Art is made in rosewood and has a Pilot #15 extra fine nib.

Hope you like.

Really nice, Enrico. I saw both companies' selections at the LA Pen Show and found both to be terrific looking, with really nice workmanship. Very nice people, too! I was soooo tempted!

No, it's not Urushi, simple Rosewood.

Q.

Oh, I see. Very beautiful! I like the Eboya pens but I am interested in the eyedropper filling system. Unfortunately, it's been hard to find a single review of the system.

Please do! The only thing I could find is some pictures of the mechanism some are on the Eboya website and some are on blogs. Here's one of them. I'd really like to see a review though.

there is a new diagram of the eboya ED mechanism added to CFPs website... looks like the namiki spring system thingy. i did ask about availability and was quoted "at least 4-6 mos" for a special order. i don't know, i am pretty impulse driven and by then i would likely already be "over it."

I'm interested in the Onoto-style Eboya, and the Stylo-Art, but for different reasons.

 

Eboya - I love the idea of Japanese eye-droppers;

Stylo-Art - my family are actually from Karuisawa. I had no idea there was a pen manufacturer based there!

Too many pens; too little writing.

I'm so close to putting in a special order from nibs.com for an Eboya with the Japanese eyedropper. I'm just trying to choose a color. I'm leaning towards the yellow/black mottled ebonite in the Kyouka style.

I just bought a buffalo horn Stylo Art at a Pen fair in Osaka a couple of days ago. I got the same model, the BO with a Sailor Naganita Togi nib.

 

I handled a bunch of different ones and they were all beautiful. I defintely want to get a wood Stylo-Art since that is Mr. Kazuno's specialty. He also had some of the nicest Micarta-bodied pens I have ever seen but they were quite expensive compared to most of the woods and even the buffalo horn and urushi pens.

i just ordered up the blue big one w/ ED so the long wait begins... quetzalcoatl, how are you getting on with your eboya?

They are both lovely, though I agree with rudyhou re the Stylo Art pen.

 

I saw their pens at the L.A. show but didn't look into them closely, which I have come to regret as a few FPNers have shared their Stylo Art pens on the forum. I will definitely pay more attention the next time I'm in the same room with them.

Nice! Did you go for the blue Ricchiku or the Kyouka? I've narrowed it to the Kyouka model in Tanshin red and medium-sized. I'll have to wait until Monday to place my order. I hope that when they said four to six months, they were exaggerating on the long side. On Eboya's webpage, it says there's a 3 month wait for pens to be made.

 

Now to just decide on a nib and/or customization before Monday .... decisions, decisions!

I bought my Eboya from Classic Fountain Pen, I get it in a couple of weeks including the usual passage through the custom. I am very happy of the customization on the nib done by John Mottishaw.

It is perfect for me. It is now in rotation with the style-art and a new ohashi-do I get recently.

It is a nice triplets of what is considered "minor" manufacturers.

Awesome! Mottishaw is an amazing nib worker.

 

What was the ordering process like from Stylo-Art, if you don't mind my asking? Is it all through email?

lg. kyouka - f nib w/ added flex! my pen collection "b factor" (calc'd as: b+ or stubs / # of pens) is very high so i am diversifying. according to cfp, you can only get the modded flex on the "large" eboya models...

      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
