I just saw on Massdrop that Franklin-Christoph came up with a new model and it's called Model 31. It's on Initial Public Offering (IPO) on Massdrop. Looks nice. It's available in Italian ice finish or Coco Pearl finish.

The Cocnout Pearl finish is gorgeous!Direct link to make it a bit easier for others.

I have a Model 45 in Coco Pearl - it's a very attractive material. Shame they're not offering this IPO with a SIG nib.

I read somewhere that this is a Massdrop exclusive design for the first 6 months - so I'd be guessing there may be more drops for it in the nearish future? Definitely worth keeping an eye out...

I'm glad I got in. From the description and specs, it sounds like a "Goldilocks" pen. I have a Model 02 in the "Italian Ice" material. It's really nice and should look spiffy with the navy blue finial.

I was going to pull the trigger, but I'm holding out hope for one in plain transparent rather than the shaded acrylic they're using.

1) Atelier Simoni ID Demonstrator Natural Rhodium (As if it existed.)

2) Moresi 2nd Limited Edition Delta Demonstrator

3) y.y. Pen Club #4 and #10

I managed to get one in Italian ice. It'll be my first Franklin Christoph. Super excited! It's going to be eyedroppered for sure.

Mine just arrived! It's beautiful. I'll post pictures when I get the chance. First impressions are positive. The pen feels really well made, and the Italian Ice material is gorgeous. I eyedropper filled it with pelikan edelstein Amethyst, and it looks great. Seems comfortable in hand, though I haven't written for very long yet. It's a nice, substantial size, and I'm looking forward to using it more!

      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
