Signum Nova Review


iowa

Recommended Posts

I was planning to write a review of my now 3 week old Signum Nova. However, I loaned it to a friend of mine and he reviewed it on his blog.

I certainly could not do a better review, so I'm posting it here.

What i can do, is tell you that I like the pen so well that i have ordered 2 more Signum pens with 18k nibs. Another Nova with a F nib and a Carene with a M nib.

I only have one Signum pen, a Orione, I believe. It is a beautiful "golden" colored resin, piston filler with a very forgiving & pleasant nib, despite being marked as a "M" only on the side of the cap band. It was purchased from Chatterley Pens ,offered as NOS & has remained a happy experience since purchase. I probably don't use it as much as other pens because of the piston filler's mechanism which requires more maintenance between different fills of ink. It is filled @ the moment with the Indian made, Krishna's Gold Rush ink & I was happy to bring it back into rotation. I just have never seen very many Signum pens offered for sale.

Using a Signum Orione Red Fine (steel nib). Nice dry writer, not a gusher like the Visconti Arc beside it. Does not have problems with the inks I fill it with. Wrote right out of the box no tuning required.

 

Not easy to find the pen in North America (Canada for darn sure), under rated writer. Would purchase another no hesitations.

      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
