Is Taccia Still A Thing?

[Fatestorm]

Hey Folks--

 

I was going through my collection the other day, and found my very first nice fountain pen--a Taccia Staccato blue lagoon fine nib. I love this pen still.

 

But it got me thinking. Is Taccia still a brand? I've not really heard anything from or about them since the Savanna buffalo horn pen. I know that we fountain pen users can chase trends too. I was just curious if anyone knew!

I think they are still going alright. I see the Taccia Covenant pen attracting attention from time to time on various blogs, etc.

[Fatestorm]

If I wanted to look at their line, do they have official (online) distributors, or am I better off waiting for a pen show?

I'd try google or bing.

All three carry Taccia pens. No affiliation, other than having bought pens/ink, and refills from all three.

 

I have a lovely Taccia Portuguese in blue that I ink up from time to time. Had to get it adjusted, but it is now a sweet little writer.

Too skinny of a pen for my liking. If some of the models you mentioned were bigger, with gold nibs, I'd like them

Thanks folks, my initial search of Taccia for whatever reason returned a bunch of reviews but not the official site!

Have only a Taccia Premire. Hard starter.

I have a couple of Taccia Covenants and I quite like them, but the company itself is so low profile as to be practically invisible. They could really benefit from more vigorous marketing.

I purchased a Taccia Bamboo for my husband. It a lovely pen and writes very well. It isn't made of bamboo. It is a metal pen with but the cap is undulated like bamboo with some sort of inlay. It's quite nice, and the pen writes very well.

I have a couple of Taccias and like them very much. Well made and nice smooth writers

I came across them quite by accident at a local B&M pen show

​I agree they could do with a more vigorous marketing approach. There are obvious good people making an excellent product but my feeling is that they are being short-changed by "the suits"

As I mentioned in the OP, my very first 'nice pen' was a Taccia Staccato in a beautiful shimmering Blue Lagoon finish. It was the first pen that wasn't a Noodler's or Lamy, and set me down the path of nice pens. Writes well, feels solid but very light, great pen.

Slightly OT: does anyone here know whether the sections of Taccia Staccato FP and RB are interchangeable?
