How big are the pens actually? Is it possible to see them in pictures together with other pens (like Pelikan or so) for comparison? Thanks.

I have a picture comparing it to my Lamy and my Pilot M90

 

As far as compared to Pelikan, it's closest in size to the m800.

Is the picture posted somewhere? I would be interested on seeing it.

 

look at my posted threads. I posted a brief review of a prerelease model and included those pictures. I'd post it in this thread but I haven't had time to search my computer and post it. Taking these orders is swamping me!

There is a picture in the TWSBI forums with the Diamond between two Pelikans. I think between a M800 and an M600. I'll look for it tomorrow. And if I remember correctly the size is in-between the two. The caption isn't in english though, you'll have to know what you are looking at/for.

Speedy, we can't see that unless we are logged in, and I can't register. I can't figure out the security questions. I don't know Waterman's 中文名字, and the question about Pelikan I tried to answer 德國 or just Germany with no luck.

Ok, I finally got a question I knew all the characters for, and remembered to use simplified characters lol

 

Here's some of the photos!

 

Here is the chrome-trimmed demonstrator that we are selling in the pre-sale:

This is the gold (TiNitride) trimmed version that will be produced:

Closeup of the red Twsbi logo (on the gold trimmed model). I think the red cap looks awesome, and very distinctive:

I didn't realize that the initial run had a different trim. I think I like the looks of the chrome better. But maybe I will have to get a gold one later as well.

 

Thanks for doing this! It has been exciting to watch and now its like waiting for Christmas/Birthday/etc... to get the Diamond.

If you're going to be at the Chicago Pen Show on Sunday and would like to test-drive the TWSBI, look for me! Thanks to Speedy and Mahkie's generosity, I'll have one there! :cloud9:

 

Look for a short older woman wearing a "Have you seen my TWSBI?" badge!

Any chance that they will be out before the Raleigh Pen Show in June? I thought about getting one and then having it custom ground to a stub or cursive italic. :)

      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
