Custom Ocean Obsidian With 18Kt Nib

Recommended Posts

Here is one I just finished as a custom order. This one was pretty fun because it was supposed to look and act like alumilite but be heavy like metal. The pen is just over 5 inches long and 5.5 inches long capped. The cap does post and the pen is 6.5 inches long posted. I used 14mm cap to barrel threads and a rhodium clip. It comes with a F 18k JOWO nib. Now for the fun part. A normal alumilite pen like this (at least the ones I make weighs in at around 22 to 24 grams. This one weighs 44 grams. I machined a piece of solid brass about 2 1/4 inches long to fit inside the barrel of the pen. The brass has a through hole big enough for the converter. I the threaded the brass and tapped and threaded the alumilite. I screwed my custom brass rod into the alumilite barrel and magically added about 20 grams of weight to the pen. The pen is already sold, but if it weren't I'd keep it. It really does feel heavy like a metal pen. I hope the customer likes it as much as I do. Questions and comments are always welcome. Thanks for looking.

Very nice design. and I notice the pattern does not have to match exactly on the different parts to be attractive... I like the name, too.

      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
