Karas Kustoms Fountain K Official Sales Release

Recommended Posts

  • The Fountain K pen will have its official pre-production release, Thursday, August 27th at Noon, Arizona time (MST, UTC/GMT -7 hours).
  • This release will be limited to the pre-production pens that were made to accept Schmidt #5 nibs. For that reason there are a very limited supply of these pens available.
  • This configuration will accept nibs purchased to fit your current Karas Kustoms INK in the event you had nibs custom ground.
  • We will have four finishes available for purchase tomorrow
    • Anodized Silver (Clear) Aluminum (Approximately 75 Available)
    • Tumbled Raw Aluminum (Approximately 30 Available)
    • Brass (Approximately 50 Available)
    • Copper (Approximately 60 Available)
  • The Fountain K is identical in size to the Render K. In fact if you have one of each sitting on your desk capped, they will appear to be the exact same pen.
  • Due to our limited numbers some people may miss out on these pens. We are not limiting the amount one person can buy, so if you want one of each you can purchase one of each as long as they are in stock. Likewise, if you want 5 Brass, that’s possible as well.
  • The quickest way to purchase a Fountain K is to use PayPal as your means of checkout on our website. This is the easiest, fastest way to checkout as it doesn’t require you to input any billing information or credit card information as long as you have a current PayPal account. Paypal is who processes all sales through our website, we have no other means of accepting payment. Use “checkout as guest” on the site will also save you time.
  • Just adding product to your cart does not reserve the product for purchase. You have to complete the payment process and receive a confirmation email to ensure your purchase was successful. Orders over $120 qualify for free shipping (but hurry they may sell out while you are adding product to the cart).
  • In the event that you miss out on this Pre-Production release, we will be releasing the Production Fountain K before the holidays.
  • Pricing is as follows:
  • Anodized Silver (Clear) Aluminum - $70.00
  • Tumbled Raw Aluminum - $70.00
  • Brass - $90.00
  • Copper - $120.00
  • Orders over $120 qualify for free shipping (but hurry they may sell out while you are adding product to the cart)
  • This small sale will help us fund the next full production batch of Fountain Ks and further development on other pen projects.
Thank you for your support!

I'm a slacker, I didn't get mine ordered.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

The pre-production launch of these pens was complete a few days after the launch. However, we are moving forward and will be releasing the full production line of the Fountain K in late November - early December. We are finishing the machining on the aluminum barrels and then they will go out for anodize.

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
