Have you thought about how the nibs are to be tested before selling the pens? Just because I bought a new pen this weekend and it didn't write properly - this is really annoying if you're excited about getting a new pen to play with!

 

We use the nib/feeder system direct from Schmidt, from all the nibs we got so far (during testing pen....) we found they are very consistency in quality. We know the Schmidt very well and their German quality from well established company, that's why from the beginning of this project we insist to use Schmidt nib (well, actually you know when nib from...), even he is much more expensive than others.  Accordingly we believe the chance of getting defect nib is very low. We will do final eye checking on the nib to make sure two tips are in correct position...

300 may not be enough to satisfy the demand just from this thread :roflmho:

 

 

Scott

 

I have no doubt that the first 300 will be gone fast.

 

I may have to wait a year or two... but I will get one of these pens!

Speedy, you're doing really a great job (no, two jobs, as I keeping a watch on the vacuum filler too).

 

Can't wait...

I will be happy to ship to europe as well. I think speedy has a friend in Europe doing distribution there (which would mean cheaper shipping for you guys), but if there is no problem with regional fiefdoms, I'll ship to Canada/Europe. I need to check, but I think shipping will be similar to the cost for US shipping.

I have started the presale here in the Marketplace. Let me know what you guys think!

 

PS: You should follow us on Twitter! (see my sig :))

 

 

Any chance on getting one in time to show it off at the Chicago Pen Show?

 

Pam

 

There are some pre-production models floating around (I have one), but the Chicago pen show is pretty soon. I don't think it would be very likely.

I would follow you on twitter... but I don't tweet.

 

Yes, I got on the pre-sale list in the other thread. Looks fine. However, in all my excitement, I totally missed the part about the timeline. It was there, I just didn't see it at first.

 

Woo Hoo! We are one step closer!

      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
