Although you're really tempting me to try one......maybe you or someone else can send one to me to try out.... ;)

 

Isn't that what this place is all about?

 

Of course I can send it to you - perhaps one in each weight so you'll be sure to get just the right one.

So, no need to send your pen, MisterBoll.......but thanks for your kind offer..... ;)

Damn! And I had already told them they were going on VACATION! They'll be sorely disappointed.

 

Well, Congrats on the new Onoto! Now you can hang out with the cool-pen kids.

Having coveted a Conway Stewart for many months I too took the plunge and went for one of these instead. I was impressed with the pedigree of Onoto as a manufacturer and their rich heritage but was ultimately convinced by the colour and the fact that it being a limited edition I could miss my chance to own one if I did not purchase now.

 

I now eagerly await Christmas morning!

and thanks (or no thanks) to this thread, onoto has another customer here. it'll be my combined christmas and 60th birthday present to myself.

 

i was hemming and hawing a bit (knowing full well that i would order one sooner or later--sooner better than later, because it's a limited edition and could sell out soon), but a friend's reminder that a discount coupon (FPN1209) would lop 15% off the price made up my mind in an instant!

 

for those of us ordering from the US (or outside the UK and the eurozone), here's the link:

don't forget the coupon! (and now the long wait....)

Hmm, was thinking I don't need another Onoto this year but I too turned 60 so...

 

Thanks for the enabling, Post Script

^ha ha right now the only word i can think of to fill that blank is "dollars" ;)

 

Good one. All too true.

 

Tortoise is a bit draining on the pocket but the magnificent joy it brings is well worth the cost.

      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

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      @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
