My Very First Pen Review ( It Arrived! )

[Aredfalcon]

Please forgive my pictures... this is my first review and I shot it with my wife's IPhone ..

So here we go ...

My heart almost burst out of my chest as I stood there signing for my international package ..The mailman looked at me and saw the gleam in my eye and he knew that he had brought me something very special indeed..... As I tore into the package I could see of one of my Grail pen's finally becoming a reality.. The packaging was subtle and yet sophisticated .. I didn't expect it to include two in cartridges and a converter.. When I first picked it up the weight felt good my in my hand. The balance was well tuned but posted...is when it really sang ... When the cap Popped off the highly tuned medium fine nib had Excalibur sharpness to it ..My Mike Masuyama Franklin Cristoph # 6 cursive Italic ...or the softness of my 14k med falcon nib had had a run for their money..

Inking it up with One of my favorite inks Pilot itoshizuku Kon-peki was the perfect match for the soft blue of the barrel ... Now the magic happened. Placing the nib down on my Rohdia dot Pad, The pen seemed to write it by itself the flow was wet but definitely not a gusher.... There was a little feedback

That let your paper absorb the ink gladly ... The nib stacks up well in comparison to a few of my other inferior models...

At $395 with free shipping I feel some one should lock me up because this was a real steal .... O wait that was $3.95

I hope this helps someone and that you found it helpful

Thanks for your time ...

Enjoy the photos ..

A Snoop Blanc for 395? What a steal.

[nujnay]

Great story with lots of suspends

[Bookman]

Do you know where I can get a Popeye model or maybe Top Cat or Snagglepuss?

Thank you ever so much for this picture heavy post. I tried hard not to burst out laughing, but then I saw the faux Montblanc star.

Fun review.

Seems you like the ink since you reveal the name in your review.

Seems you don't like the pen, which is only named on the packaging in Japanese.

 

I enjoy my Sailor Clear Candy, though it's not as smooth as my gold-nibbed pens.

[amberleadavis]

Thanks! I enjoyed the show.

[Blue_Moon]

What a great pen!!! I'm thinking of selling a couple of Franklin-Christophs and my Pilot VP, so I can get the Snoop Blanc!

[pen2paper]

hmmm... is Kon Peki required?

 

will Linus play piano during the inking ceremony?

[cnjackson]

Really nice review and video!

[Rita_K]

I've been a huge Snoopy fan since the early 1960's ( yes, I'm that old )

so this pen is a "must have" for me. Thanks to your very entertaining review

I now have one on its way to NJ .
