Anybody know of a place to buy Visconti pens in Canada? I'm in the market for one and I am starting to do research on on the models and pricing. Amazon.ca is pretty pricy (I know Visconti is pricy but Amazon doesn't have any good deals for this brand)

 

Thanks friends!

Stylo.ca in Quebec deals in Visconti, and other Italian brands. I recently purchased an OMAS from them and was very satisfied. They also accept paypal if you email them.

In Toronto, try Laywine's on Bellair St (Yorkville). I don't know if they still have a webpage; the last one was laughable, and they knew it.

Phidon Pens in Cambridge, Ontario carry Visconti. A great store run by really nice people, not much of a web presence but give them a call or pay them a visit.

Is their webpage some kind of joke? There are no inks to anywhere that would enable anyone to se what hey actually have.

My wife bought a Visconti Rembrant a few weeks ago. Fair price - knowledgeable service.

It's how they roll. If you are in the FP lifestyle, you tend to appreciate the less flashy and trendy things that are going on in your world....

 

I guess the lack of detailing everything cuts down on about a dozen rat ****s every week calling up and asking for pricing and then sniveling how they can get it a lot cheaper on the internet.

You have me confused, if they detailed their products, along with prices, as most places do, why would people call to ask for pricing? On the contrary, not showing prices on the web would more likely invite calls.

 

And what would be the "explanation" for simply listing brand names without indicating the products they have of each brand?

      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
