You guys are evil! Thanks to you, I pulled the trigger on Kokedera Oldwin (aka Saft Green by Omas). Will post some photos when I get it.

You are quite welcome. :P

 

Waiting for photos.

Very pretty! Haven't owned a pen with the threads done that way, not sure if it would bother me or not.

 

I quite like the thread placement as it makes for a clean design and ergonomics are not much different from the typical threads at web level.

 

if you want to give it a shot, at a reasonable cost, consider the ASA Nauka.

Shmurzik -

 

Very nice.

 

Hmmm ... In the photos, the pen material looks a lot different than the Saft Green of my OMAS Ogiva. Maybe it's the lighting.

Given so many of the recent Oldwin pens were made from Omas celluloid, it seems sure to be saft. Variations in color could also be different batches.

 

I wonder what might find its way to market next?

Shurmzik,

That is a gorgeous example of an Oldwin. The material is spectacular. Thank you for sharing these photos.

Looks amazing. I prefer this material to the Arco celluloid.

 

 

Thanks. To be honest, I wouldn't have agreed with you a month ago as I am a big fan of arco celluloid and have been on the lookout for one for quite a while. I gave a call to Mr Mora to ask whether any more Oldwins are to be expected in arco and he said yes (around end of Jan - mid-Feb) but they would be EUR 50-100 more expensive due to a recent increase in prices on this increasingly rare celluloid. This put me off and I decided to go with a saft green. Looking back at it now - no regrets at all. I love how the material looks and how its appearance changes under different lighting conditions. I used to have a Milord in arco but now, having tried saft green, I think I prefer it more. Additionally, it does not come across as so flashy from distance compared to arco while being simply stunning under a closer look.

Thanks for the update on stock coming.

 

One other point on the saft green vs arco, on these pens the section and body pattern tend to be a bit off. It is less noticeable in a saft pen than the arco where it can be seen easily due to the material. Also, the arco is most beautiful on only two sides whereas other patterns are enjoyable all around the pen. That said, I wanted the arco more. :)

I got my Art Camouffle/ Extra Lucens, it writes well, but only wish the pen was polished from the inside like with the Omas Extra Lucens, as the effect here is somewhat dull vs. sparkly...

Here is a picture of the Burkina Oldwin- this one I like a lot. I had to have the pen sent back for nib re- adjustment, but it now writes nicely, and looks great too IMO. Here it is with the Omas Burkina Bologne for comparison...

Thanks for sharing, Kunju. I had never found the Burkina material terribly attractive in the OMAS pens. I do like it in the Oldwin Classic much more.

 

Happy writing!

Yes I know what you mean, the Burkina celluloid hadn't been on my radar at all until very recently. It's not so obvious as the arco's.

 

Now I am quite drawn to it in the Omas as well as Oldwin pens, but your right, in the big beefy Classic the celluloid really pops!

Here is a partial result of having read the initial review. It finally made it into rotation today. Initial thoughts are that it is a wet writer (with MB Toffee and the converter) and very comfortable to hold. I'll see how I like it as the day progresses.

That arco looks stunning- congratulations! One of the most stunning pens in this material I've ever seen. I wonder who got the equally stunning arco verde, and if whoever it is, will ever post pictures...

      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
