Mate, can't you see the "DO NOT DISTURB" sign on the door? :lol:

 

It just arrived over a week ago, so I've been spending quality time with it since then. You know how it is... ;)

You can't always get what you want... but if you try sometimes... you just might find... you'll get what you need...

Grassy,

 

it can't have "just" arrived if it was "over a week ago". Now... you know that you are getting dangerously close to the review deadline, don't you ? :P

 

Denis.

Hi Denis,

 

Thanks for referring me to your excellent review.

 

Do you possibly have a weight for this pen?

Is the cap a snap on?

How susceptible is the finish to scratches?

How do you like it for extended writing sessions?

Is it one of your all time favorite pens?

 

Regards,

Jeen

Hi jeen,

 

I did not even realize you were the one posting the request on PT :blush:

 

I do not have the weight. It would be a light pen without the wide solid silver trim, but it does not make it heavy. Because of this, the weight distribution is different from more classically designs models. The cap is a snap on (tight), and has the particularity to snap only in one position (to align with the curves of the barrel). I have no significant scratches, only one or two very faint ones. A good thing is that the cap post in a way that can not mark the barrel.

 

It is very comfortable to my hand. A perfect fit for me, even for hours of writing. I said somewhere that it is my "from my cold dead fingers" pens, and it still is :D

 

If you know that you are picky about shape and balance, I definitely recommend to try it first. If you can easily adapt to different sizes and lengths of pens, you should be fine. Another possibility, if you have no store carrying it close to you, is to find a retailer that will let you order it and has a good return policy. I think you could easily tell, even without inking it, if it fits you or not.

 

Cheers !

 

Denis.

Is it possible To improve zhis geat creative pen?

 

Yes it is. The new Model Serenite grey with a titanized barrel (using PVD-Technique) and a cap with screwing mechnism for Closing instead of stick click. Impoved feeling of stability, a more comfortable process for refilling ink in contrast to the old black resin version.

I just found an unused one. In a store here in Brazil, with the large box, papers and cartridges. I fell in love with it in the moment I saw it.

 

The store people told me it's a very old stock item, and they are charging for the price that is stamped in a little lable, about U$1200.

 

It's absolutely new, the pen has a number (I just forgot it, but is 28xx). This store is a big reseller here in Brazil, they are often selling this old pens.

 

So i came back to home to think about it. Do you think it's a fair price?

It really depends on which version you're talking about.

 

Based on the price and you mentioning a "large" box, I think it's probably one of the more limited editions.

 

The regular editions, which is the black plastic body for version one, and the silver or blue metal body for version 2 are around $700 US give or take. The regular versions came in a pretty normal size box that's covered in blue leatherette, and the box is slightly curved. The version one limited edition that's in wood is around 1K or so, and comes in a much larger box than the regular version.

 

But if the store is just selling you the regular version, it's quite expensive.

It's a Wood limited Edition. Cocobolo with Silver. Did you think it's worth?

      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
