I had you on my list when I bought most of the pens several months ago. It was a heck of a list of pens I had added into my collection. The last thing is Italix that is waiting and no doubt I'll be getting at least three Pens from you. So far I guess you have got all my favourite colours.

 

By the way, I have seen a pen that was offered an extra free nib set was gone. Is it still available or not valid product anymore?

Peter bought a Parson's Essential just before Xmas 2016 and has been in rotation ever since just love the pen.

 

Am about to order a PE rollerball, just wondering if there are any additional colours coming in the rollerball range in the near future?

Endless speculation over the years as to where in the world 'Italix' pens are made:

 

Parson's Essential. Barrel and cap made in Taiwan, nib and feed and converter are made in Germany. Nib cut and reground, polished in UK

Churchman's Prescriptor. Barrel and cap made in Taiwan, nib and feed and converter are made in Germany. Nib cut and reground, polished in UK

Captain's Commission. Barrel and cap made in Taiwan, nib and feed and converter are made in Germany. Nib cut and reground, polished in UK

Deacon's Doodle. Made in China

Freshman's Notator. Barrel cap made in Taiwan nib and feed made in China.

Viper's Strike. Barrel and cap made in Taiwan, nib and feed and converter are made in Germany. Nib cut and reground, polished in UK

Imperium Sterling Silver. Made in Germany.

Imperium State. Barrel and cap made in Taiwan, nib and feed and converter are made in Germany. Nib cut and reground, polished in UK

English Curate. Barrel and Cap made in UK, nib unit made in UK, converter is German, Nib cut and regorund, polished in UK.

Commodore's Credential. Barrel and cap made in Taiwan, nib and feed and converter are made in Germany. Nib cut and reground, polished in UK

Originalis is hand made in England from mostly UK components. Converter is German.

 

So there it is, no single company makes an Italix pen, we source components and commission pens much like the big pen makers do.

Is an extra fine Italic an option?

I regret not, as the nib will not permit such a conversion, however fine italic and fine cursive is OK.

My Chaplin's Tankard arrive today (ordered yesterday?). With filled engraving and a fine italic nib, looks perfect. Unfortunatly I had only a short play with it as my wife promptly impounded it till by birthday :(

 

If I can find where its hidden I will see if I can sneak a photo-shoot and dip test while she is not looking.

$16.34 shipping (to Maine) on a $27 pen. I am waiting for now and seeing what people say about this pen after some reviews come online....

 

That's just over the lowest tracked price UK to US. The manufacturer isn't responsible for the cost set by Royal Mail.

Well. Technically a converter is a piston filler. However on the site it is described as a button filler, and also a twist button filler. Twist filler used a sack. I'm confused!

 

That aside, it seems like a good deal. The step-down through the threads looks managable. Sturdy lacquer over brass, screw cap and an unheard of elsewhere choice of ninteen nibs.

 

I have a feeling it'll be a long wait for the rhodium version. Oh well. I'll start saving my tanners for a 912.

 

My psychiatrist told me I can have any pen I want, as long as it's a black flat-top with rhodium trim.

Add lightness and simplicate.

From the cost point of view, it doesn't matter who is responsible (nor was I suggesting so). It is just a fact.

 

For me, it makes the cost of the pen over $40, which means I will take a wait and see approach. I don't often spend that kind of money on pens; I will wait and see. Others are free to respond how they wish, of course. I was going to buy one without waiting for reviews, but once the total cost for me went over $35, I just wasn't willing to buy it without waiting for some video reviews. Plenty of others won't hesitate, and perhaps some will post some reviews for the rest of us who take a more deliberate approach.

      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
