Another perfect purchase from penchalet.com!

If the Diplomat Writing Instruments Aero Collection nib is not the smoothest of all steel nibs, then it is definitely close to the top. Yes, the #1 benefit of this fountain pen, IMHO, is the flawless nib + feeder performance. There have been approx. 9 different Aero finishes/colors produced. Sharing with you the newest release--a Limited Edition which wows, in a twisting/curving black, white, and grey, called Volute. The technique which creates the final effect includes hydro dipping (also known as immersion printing, water transfer printing and hydro imaging). This unique process allows application of graphics to a three-dimensional object. Additional features of the Volute are a filling choice of ink cartridge or ink converter, full aluminum casing, anodized surfaces, groove-like depressions on the barrel and cap, and Diplomat's exclusive closing system>a soft-sliding click (I am reminded of the S.T.Dupont cap closure mechanism). There are 4 writing modes available--fountain (with either a steel or 14 Karat gold nib), ball pen, rollerball, and pencil. The total number of writing instruments created is 1,000. The Volute can vie with the best of fountain pens. And a big thanks to Ron and Associates at penchalet.com for taking such excellent care of their customers! Photo would not upload.

Seems like reading an advertisement for the Volute finish

 

Possibly, but I am going to stick with enthusiasm. biggrin.png

+1 It doesn't seem like much of a real review (imo) without any picts - yes, I saw that the picts would not upload (- wonder why, too large?), writing sample or comments about how it feels to write with it. It reads more like something a knowledgeable copywriter would create for an advertisement.

 

Just my personal opinion.

      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
