Soba One

So a while back I ran into a pen that grabbed me by the heart strings immediately.

First - it's got a cool shape - sort of an oversize Sheaffer Balance look.

 

Second - LOOK AT IT! It's got a hand painted, hand finished, rough, graffiti style finish! How cool is that!?

And his signature is ON THE PEN! Very very cool.

 

It was a no brainer. So I emailed the guy, a very nice gentleman, BJ Johnson, great to work with, and we struck a deal.

6 1/8" closed.

 

 

...It's an ebonite barrel and cap with a section made from delrin. The section has a nice pinch and the delrin material is just awesome to hold onto.

5 1/2" open.

...It also posts perfectly.

6 5/8" posted.

...

...It comes with a #6 Jowo fine nib. It needed a little smoothing out of the box which I expect to do with most nibs/pens I get.

 

...Just your basic c/c filler. Schmidt K5 converter. Same ones I use.

...Threads.

One and a quarter turns to uncap/cap the pen. Three lead threads. Smooth. The delrin section threads into the barrel like melted butter on bread. A weird analogy but it feels really cool.

...Tha nib. Two tone fine from Jowo.

Here's the link to his website.
