Starwalker Airbus A380 Rollerball

How many people here have one? I saw an A380 RB at the MB Boutique today. Very nice. A lot heavier then the Starwalker resin / platinum I just got. The one thing I like about my resin one over the A380 was the grip at the bottom on the A380 didn't have the 'knurling'. I was wondering if I went to buy the pen they could exchange the bottom piece where the refill goes thru with one that has the 'knurling'? I find you don't slip on the bottom of the barrel so much, more comfy. I wonder if they would be willing to swap it with a pen that has one and then just get another bottom with knurling from the factory and replace it?

I think I may go back to the boutique tomorrow and look at the rollerball pen again. When I tried it in the store I thought it was very heavy, so I am not sure if I am going to buy it if it won't be comfy for me to write with a lot during the day.

 

If I am use to writing with my Starwalker resin do you get use to using a heavier metal bodied pen? Also I was told that the bottom of the Starwalker resin with the groove / knurling can be switched to the A380 Airbus rollerball, but MB Boutique will not order me the part alone.

      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

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @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
