Oh, I dunno. The texture and look of the pen with the hammered exterior and muddled red section kinda reminds me of The Doomsday Machine from the old Star Trek...

I hope the seller breaks even on this one. He had to have paid a fortune for it if he bought it directly from Kullock.

Don't care for the hammered metal part (at all,) but that woodgrain HR hood looks fantastic!

I actually clicked on the listing hoping the whole pen was the woodgrain. I would have gone for that.

OMG, I think it would look great with a nugget ring, big gold chains and, of course, a red-brown liesure suit. One must have the proper attire for such an elegant writing instrument. One could probably find them all on the -bay.

It looks like I have the contrarian view on this. I like it. I like it a lot. The woodgrain shell might just be a tad too much though. A standard black would be my choice.

It's a bit much, but it's interesting. I would like a HR barrel better.

I will confess to having a couple of Kullock's DJ barrels to dress up my Aerometrics from time to time (usually the same occasions that I feel compelled to wear cufflinks), but I've never gotten into his stuff to any great degree. Kullock can have some interesting designs, but his entire genre of "Fantasies" is a matter of taste that probably appeals most to those whose "gripe" about the "51" is that they are too streamlined and the colors too plain. Suffice to say that I don't expect to get into a bidding war over this one.

Agreed. I if the hood were the same as the barrel, i would bid on it.

 

i'm not a huge fan of gold caps and barrels in general, which is why i almost threw away a parker 75 i had once. instead, i gave it away to a friend for mcdonald's lunch. (Edit: the friend is an avid fp user, so it went to someone who appreciates it.)

The woodgrain HR is gorgeous. The thing about that hammered look is that a little goes a long way.

 

well-said :)

Is the hood a Kullock-made item? I've only ever seen Bexley-made aftermarket HR 51 hoods (as part of a hood+barrel rig.)

I have a gold 51 with a few dings in it. Maybe I should ding it up some more?

Based on some of the other stuff he does, I would guess it is. I would think cannibalizing a Bexley would be expensive- even for him!

Ditto. I'd love to see one entirely in that material.

I emailed jesy to see if she could make me a "51" out of the same material as the hood (i sent her a link to the ebay sale), and she said that Ariel did not make that pen, but made something similar to it a while ago.

 

i still love the material for the hood, though.

      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
