I have to agree with this. More people should use dachshunds.

 

Looks like a lovely pen too! Enjoy it!

[Sailor Kenshin]

I love it!

Perfect review, Koofle! :-) I give it 4.9 stars. You rock!

Nice pen, too.

very amusing and interesting review great pen too

Thank you for such a concise and informative review, that is a nice pen, a lovely handriting and a really cool ink; however there are a couple of things that I'm missing: A picture where the nib can be seen (though your drawing is very enlightening); and of course, a cookie conversion for us decimal system users .

Wonderful review. Hat's off to you!

[Joe in Seattle]

Well done! I look forward to reading more of your reviews. I especially like the budgie. Oh, and the miniature Dachshunds.

[koofle]

Thank you all for the lovely responses.

 

Here's a close-up of the nib

Two hedgehogs, a whale and a budgerigar convert to around to 6.28 cookies (to 2 d.p.), which is approximately 2 pies.

Does the sort of cookies matter? Is the conversion to chocolate chip the same as ginger snaps?

And is the conversion the same between crisp cookies and chewy ones -- or, as we say in the booth "Do you want ginger "snaps" or ginger "bends"?

Personally speaking, the dachsunds are cute, but the Persian cat is just *adorable*!

In cookie terms, I think you can convert between them using the ratio of their weighted average based on the wheat and sugar commodity prices. I don't speculate on those markets however, so I'm afraid I can't even give you a crumbly estimate of what numbers to expect.

So, only .5 turtles were harmed in the production of this review? Not bad!

i never tried an iridium nib before. should be interesting as a comparison to regular nibs out there. in your opinion, is it equivalent to soft gold nibs? or is it closer to stiff stainless steel nibs?

Its just the tipping. All nibs are tipped. IPG doesn't mean anything.

 

I suspect these pens are made in china...

[LeChef]

I just bought a Campo Marzio at a pen show in Toronto but now I need a converter. Does anyone know which one will fit?

It does say "Made in Italy" on the box. Or o you think they are only referring to the box as being made in Italy!

[frenchguy86]

I think I have seen that thing somewhere? Ah yeah my Wancher :

I doubt the box is from italy too... probably all made in china and in someone dreams, for marketing purpose, designed somewhere else
