That'd be awesome.

No luck yet, its hidden better than previous years presents.

How do you like it?

 

More testing, but so far, brilliant. Smooth, wet, nice variation on the lines even losing a bit for being a cursive...not an italic.

We have had terrific sales of the Chaplain's Tankard but few YouTube reviews. We thought we should offer a brief showcase, which we have done with other models. Here it is.

I just ordered a Captain's Commission, in black with a fine cursive nib, as a bday gift to self. It will be my introduction to the brand and I am pretty excited about it!

I really like the looks of several Italix models and it was difficult to narrow it down.

 

Now just have to wait for it to make it to California!

I have put the Imperium State fountain pen back on the production schedule and we will have stocks from early May. It is a small seller because it is a very heavy pen and I toyed with dropping the model but feedback has suggested that it has still got some wind left in its sails (sales) so it is back

Not sure if this is the right place for this question, but... Is the Italix M Italic nib semi-equivalent to a 1.1 mm stub nib (in regards to line width)? Or is there another size Italix nib that would be comparable? Thank you.

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.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
