Xezo--How are they?

[Shannon]

Hi all.

 

I'm looking for some input on the Xezo pens. I absolutely love the way the shell/mother of pearl pens look. But here's the question--how do they write??

 

Thanks.

Hi,

 

They use Schmidt nibs, so they should write fairly well.

If you search for Xezo in Fountain Pen Reviews, you'll find an interesting discussion from just a couple days ago, and some great pictures! (duh... I still haven't figured out how to stick the links into these posts...)

They are great pens.

Made in Germany.

Thanks! I looked in the alpha listing and didn't see them. Never thought about just searching....

Forgot to mention -- if you like Mother of Pearl & abalone pens, check out these two sites:

 

WWW.wndpens.com -- look at the new Father Neptune Laban pens, they're GREAT! They also have some Danitrios with shell. (*I had some trouble this morning, trying to get to their site, don't know what was going on...)

 

www.triojoe.com -- some great Danitrio mother of pearl pens.

 

And the most gorgeous mother of pearl pen ever, by Ferrari da Varese... I've been drooling over it for a LONG time, you can see it at www.pentifica.com ...sigh, I'll be saving my pennies a long time before I can ever fantasize about this one...

I have a Xezo. Just one, but it is one of my favorite "new" pens. It's a Legionnaire, limited-numbered edition. It's a beautiful pen and I really like the way it writes. Mine is platinum & gold plated, with a two-tone iridium nib-Medium. Even though I usually prefer a fine-point, I still really like the way this pen writes. The pen itself is nicely detailed, and I believe it is all metal-It's heavy. If the pen is mightier than the sword, this pen is a cutlass, not a foil!

It’s beautiful.

 

I have five of them, with a mix of steel and 18ct nibs.

All are smooth, wet writers. The abalone and mother of pearl ones write with a broad stroke- for those, I’d say medium is close to broad and fine is definitely a medium...

New to Xezo. Took the plunge after watching a YouTube review by SBREBrown. Too early for much feedback, but this far i can say the machining is very precise: the threads are the absolute smoothest of any fp I have. The lacquer finish is astounding. The packaging is actually well done (typically I detest the way most FPs today are packaged...or should I sat, grossly overpackaged. One nib is a #5 Svhmidt, and it has a bit of feedback and is in the drier side. The other is a #6 JoWo and had slight feedback and is also on therefore side. I'm normally highly averse to brass pens, and these are heavy, but they are very well balanced...unposted. I'm looking forward to getting to know the more.

The Xezo pens that I've looked at online are heavy. They appear to be on a brass core, which is common for Chinese pens. So I was surprised to read that they are made in Germany. Until recently I avoided heavy pens, but now I like them at my desk, but not to carry. This one is 57 grams which is about double the weight of plastic pens that I carry.
