I will be there as well most of the day both days, and will be grinding nibs on Saturday for 2 hours, from 2:00pm to 4:00pm. I can also do small repairs at that time if required.

In the interest of full disclosure, I do repair work for Phidon. Baldeep and Mano are very much committed to the pen business and are some of the most wonderful people you are likely to meet. Please help one of the only brick and mortar stores in SW Ontario have a great anniversary.

Just to update the Phidon Anniversary. I got to Cambridge about 2pm on Saturday and spent an hour hanging out and chatting with people. Memorable moments would include, talking someone into buying a new Sailor with the music nib, watching Sean stub a nib and chatting with the Visconti etc rep who had a table full of fine, fine pens. Ok I did fall in love with the Delta Pompeii but it is so out of my snack bracket that I was relieved not to be tempted.

The new Viscontis were there. All except the Templari which he said would be arriving sometime this week.

 

The Lady Divinas were tres blingy. Not much to my taste. The Rembrants were ok. Very much like a stepped down version of the Van Gogh. The plastic on the body and cap reminded me a bit of the Pericles but a bit plainer.

 

It was a nice interlude on my drive to Stratford and it was great to be able to celebrate with the good folks at Phidon.
