Kevin, is it a big deal to have a clip added after the fact? I love the idea behind this pen, but I want my next Danitrio to have a clip (I sold the one of my 3 that that had a clip-a Densho).

 

I'm just wondering if this is the kind of thing they do with existing pens (Put a slit in the cap, slide the clip in, and screw it down).

 

Any idea?

 

 

Hmmm, I would assume because of the Haiku, without a clip would look better no? since it's octagon, rolling off the table is not likely as compare with round shape pen. But let's have a show of hands to see how many here would prefer a clip vs. without. I am just thinking... less complication, less money to make :-), but let's hear from you. Thanks.

Although I can't come to meetings, please include me in this delightful project!

I also agree to omit the clip.

 

Where did the name Danitrio originate? I don't recall ever reading any information along these lines. I'm really curious about this. :)

OK, I have told them... Octagon (smaller), clipless, Basho, happiness, Haiku, and some exotic urushi and let the artist run with it. We will try to maket this as affordable as possible as long as quality does not suffer! OK, we'll see what they come up with :-)

"I have told them... Octagon (smaller), "

Just how small are we talking here? For me the Densho was a near perfect size, and the Raden Snake is bordering on being too short.

Still liking the idea of "One More Dani".

Um... I want three clips.

 

No. I mean, I want a wrap-around clip.

 

 

But, yeah, okay, no clip is good.

 

:ltcapd: :ltcapd: :ltcapd: ... How do you have such original ideas??? :ltcapd: Lov'em!!!

 

Kevin; your recipe sounds perfect to me, and I agree with clipless. With the pen's philosophy a clip would disturb the whole shape and idea... Let's think Zen :lol:

Another vote for clipless. I have one clipless now, and I really prefer the smoother lines, unbroken by clip, and I do not usually clip a pen in my pocket.

Actually, I wasn't trying to sway the votes here, I was just looking at it from a personal standpoint. My next one (whatever that is) needs to have a clip, so that might push me away from this particular pen. I just wanted to know if Dani ever does that kind of work after the fact.

 

I can always live vicariously through the pictures that I'm sure Mava, Jopen, etc will publish.

Count me in.

If at first you succeed,

try not to act surprised.

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
