Graf Von Faber Castell Intuition Discontinued?

[Waltz For Zizi]

Does anybody know if the Intuition range of pens from Graf von faber castell has been discontinued? I don't see them listed on their website anymore, though they are for sale in some places.

I have the fluted ivory on my short list for a while now, and I don't want to wait before it's too late, but there are other special edition pens ahead of it on that list, that I "must" have also.

The Intuition woods are deprecated is what I was told at the store, not sure about the other flavours though, pity. The Intuition woods IMHO are really really nice and IMHO better than the normal Intuitions. In fact in certain aspects I prefer my intuition woods to the 240th Anniversary 1761-2001 Olive wood LE. I hope that GvFC will replace them with worthy Fps; would love to see their piston tec trickle down from the PoTY to others down the price-range. BTW, which special edition pens are you looking at, if I may know?

I think the wood ones are now effectively special editions - the ebony was dropped about 2 years ago, but then another dark hard wood version appeared and now appears to be gone again.

Given the growing restrictions on sourcing ebony, not much of a surprise. One needs good documentation to prove the wood was legally harvested these days.

 

Also, as Taylor Guitars discovered when they bought into an ebony mill in Africa -- many ebony trees were being cut down and left to rot because the main market only wanted the dark ebony, which not all trees produced. Taylor is buying up all the ebony, dark or light.

Pelikan m600. I am behind on buying. I want to get the transparent-white (before it disappears completly), the turquoise and the not yet released vibrant orange.

I like white or bright colored pens.
