Karas Vertex

Recommended Posts

Anybody know where I could get hold of a Karas Vertex FP? Karas themselves have been out of stock for quite a while, and I don't know of any resellers. In fact Karas seem to be out of quite a few of their pen models. I do hope this isn't an ominous sign.

Karas are pretty active on social media (especially Facebook, https://www.facebook.com/karaskustoms/), and I don't see any evidence that they're in trouble. That said, they seem to be have issues keeping up with supply (I think one or two of their pen-manufacturing machines went down in 2019), so they tend to be in and out of stock of their more popular pens. Unless I'm mistaken they only sell their signature line pens (Decograph, Vertex) via their own online store - I don't think you'll be able to source them from elsewhere (unless someone is selling theirs second-hand).

 

It might be worth emailing them, and/or reaching out via Facebook (if that's your thing) - I've always found them fairly responsive. They had Vertexes in stock fairly recently, and my guess is they'll be restocking again soon.

      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
