Italix

[smammaler]

My Italix M stub is wider than my TWSBI 1.1 and wider than my Goulet 1.1 and about the same as my Nemosine 0.8.

I bought all those pens over three years ago, so YRMV.

 

Thank you!

Here’s a link to SBRE Brown’s YT video which demonstrates the range of Italix nibs in a Chrchman Prescriptor.

Big announcement. at the age of 74 I have decided to retire from Italix and mrpen within the next twelve to eighteen months. It is in a unique position because we have substantial stocks and a big balance at the bank plus we are very profitable so I could just run the company down to a gentle close and effectively just walk away, or if the right buyer appears I will sell it. In the meantime we will trade exactly as we have been doing up til now. I will appoint an agent to provide spares and warranty support, but not until I actually can announce a date of transfer or cessation of trading. I will keep our customers and friends up to date via this section on FPN. It has been such fun running this wonderful little pen company over the years, thank you for your support.

I hope that you can find a buyer for the company. Many years of hard work and experience should continue to benefit the pen community.

That's sad news. I've bought several Italix pens over the years and without exception they have been good pens and fine writers. I may have to indulge in one or two more while I have the chance.

We are in the process of converting Cross and Sheaffer pens to create an additional twenty nib options. The nibs will be similar in smoothness and performance to the current Italix.

I bought a number of your pens years ago, when I was trying to gain experience with different nib types. I only ever got along with a couple of them, but that was my hand, not the pens. Seeing this thread, I realized that I still use my original Parson's Essential stub as an EDC. Bulletproof, no biggie if I lose it (I do that sort of thing) and writes every time. Thanks for the product and best wishes for the future.

I look forward to another Italix pen with their excellent italic nibs. Probably the last in pendom to offer such variety and quality with Mr. Ford's nibmanship and ability to make great and enduring pens should be enduring pens meant to be carried and used. All for not a lot of money. 

 

Good to see you up and at 'em, Mr. Pen.
