Jimmy James Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Over in the Nouveau Encore thread, somebody just had to go mentioning a Badger and Blade LE!?!?! If anybody missed the group buy here and wants a pretty amazing pen, look over there. I just don't think I have the $175 or to put it a better way I'd probably be deciding between it and things like the TWSBI 700 and the Raleigh Pen Show. Oh decisions, decisions. It's a Herald Grande in an ebonite for $175. I know. Drool. <a href="Http://inkynibbles.com">Inky NIBbles, the ravings of a pen and ink addict.</a> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrcharlie Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 You might try the badger and blade website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tenney Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Thanks. I didn't know what a "Badger and Blade" even was, let alone that it was a website. --Glenn (love those pen posses) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Scribbler Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Thanks. I didn't know what a "Badger and Blade" even was, let alone that it was a website. badgerandblade.com It is a shaving forum which refers to badger hair brushes for applying shaving cream and the razor blade or straight razor used to shave. Pretty cool place to hang out when not on FPN. http://img244.imageshack.us/img244/5642/postcardde9.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy James Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Brian, When doing this sort of thing, how do you assign nibs to these pens? I assume since you're doing nib checks you do it before shipment and it isn't done at Goulet. Assuming for a hypothetical LE you're doing 40 pens, is it 1 through 8 are XF, 9 through 20 are F, 21 through 33 are M, and 34 through 40 are B? Is it much less orderly than that? If it is done in an orderly fashion and you have the breakdown, I'd sure love to see it. You know how those of us in the community love to obsess. If for some reason you really don't want to share things like that, I understand. I just figure it never hurts to ask. <a href="Http://inkynibbles.com">Inky NIBbles, the ravings of a pen and ink addict.</a> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If for some reason you really don't want to share things like that, I understand. I just figure it never hurts to ask. They are numbered exactly as you stated. The low numbered pens are XF's, and the higher numbered pens are B's. I don't have the spreadsheet with me, and I won't be back in the shop until Monday, so I don't have the breakdown now.

Jimmy James Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 (edited) I'll still have plenty of time for obsessing from Monday until delivery if you think about posting it then. I know you're a busy guy if you forget about it. No worries. You knocked this out. You have a fantastic new production pen. I think you have some pen show coming up (Chicago?), plus there is that B&B group buy on the horizon. ETA: Now that the "secret" about how the LE numbering goes is out, I wonder if there will suddenly be twice as many XF orders proportionally due to people trying for a low number.

jsntsmth Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Ok I will be the one... anyone for some fun? If the numbering system is such can you try and guess what your number will be? Closest wins!! Maybe we can come up with a prize...ink sample etc. Honor system at work. There are 79 ebonite and 40 cobalt I went with a Ebonite M so I will go with #42 wink wink Brian!!! My brain hurts!!!
