The website is working for me. The pens are wooden and clip less. I'm interested in understanding the nib, feed and filling system more. There are no pictures or explanations of the nib unit. It just says that they come with a Zebra G nib and an ink sac. I googled the G nib, and it's just a cheap dip pen nib.

Okay. I found the youtube videos. These are actually really cool. They are fountain pens that take a dip pen nib, basically. I'm very interested.

My heart skipped a beat when I saw the macassar ebony. Such a beautiful looking object.

 

 

 

 

 

Edited to remove some unseemly whinging. Apologies for that moment of weakness.

My heart skipped a beat when I saw the macassar ebony. Such a beautiful looking object. Unfortunately I am now at zero on pen funds and will be for the foreseeable future (unless someone wants to buy my unused pens from me).

 

And now they are sold out.

 

Looks like these interesting pens are not destined to ever find their way here. Such a pity.

Don't be pessimistic! I didn't just make 30 and then give up. Where are you located?

I'm sorry. I just read the terms. It won't happen again.

 

Tempting me with your 'BoySenBerry'... damn you lol. (The Macassar Ebony is really attractive as well).

Macassar ebony is an outstanding wood.

Congratulations on your store opening!

 

I find that I use my dip pens a lot more these days, so these are pretty exciting. I can't wait for mine to get here! :)

Thanks D.ick! I hate spammers, and the last thing I need is to get all Anakin Skywalker falling to the DarkSide becoming the thing I swore to fight against.

Congratulations on your store opening!

Did you see the shipping notes on the website?

Pretty cool - It seems like they'd be great for travel sketching (assuming the feeds work well).

 

I saw you are located in Chicago as well. Any chance there would be an opportunity to meet and try one out?

Properly functioning feeds were one of the first things I dealt with when I started designing these.

Send me a private message, and we'll see if our paths cross somewhere easy for us both to get to.

      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
