This news makes me very pleased. I look forward to getting more information while at the SF Pen Show!

This is fantastic news! I'm hoping I can get a brown Arco anything as well as a maroon/rose gold in these sales, and I look forward to seeing what you guys do with the brand! I love the Omas pens I have currently, so it's great to see they're not going to disappear :D

This is great news! Will you be continuing to make Omas inks? I only discovered them due to the closeout sales many vendors were having, and they're as awesome as the pens!

I cannot begin to say how happy and excited I am with this news! Thankyou for making the effort. I have a very healthy OMAS collection and have been suffering withdrawal for some time. Will you be manufacturing in Italy?. It would be great if some of the previous staff were back on board. Will you be keeping the ebonite feeds? I hope so. The integrity that Syd had already displayed with the Wahl-eversharp brand gives me hope and confidence in your endeavors. Quillophyles of the world - rejoice!

As a long time fan and collector of OMAS, this is great news to hear. Can you clarify whether you also received the rights to the names and trademarks of the brand as well? I suspect that you did, but it would be nice to have confirmation.

I am so happy to read this. I have been suffering withdrawal symptoms since the OMAS crash; now its not no mas; but mo mas!! And with the integrity that you have already shown for former brands like Wahl-Eversharp I hold out strong hopes. Speaking of hopes; I hope some of the 17 italian staff at OMAS will still be with you; and that the ebonite feeds and spectacular celluloids live and grow forever.

 

All the very best! and thankyou on behalf of Quillophyles everywhere.

      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

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @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
