Signum Nova Review


iowa

Recommended Posts

I was planning to write a review of my now 3 week old Signum Nova. However, I loaned it to a friend of mine and he reviewed it on his blog.

I certainly could not do a better review, so I'm posting it here.

What i can do, is tell you that I like the pen so well that i have ordered 2 more Signum pens with 18k nibs. Another Nova with a F nib and a Carene with a M nib.

I only have one Signum pen, a Orione, I believe. It is a beautiful "golden" colored resin, piston filler with a very forgiving & pleasant nib, despite being marked as a "M" only on the side of the cap band. It was purchased from Chatterley Pens ,offered as NOS & has remained a happy experience since purchase. I probably don't use it as much as other pens because of the piston filler's mechanism which requires more maintenance between different fills of ink. It is filled @ the moment with the Indian made, Krishna's Gold Rush ink & I was happy to bring it back into rotation. I just have never seen very many Signum pens offered for sale.

Using a Signum Orione Red Fine (steel nib). Nice dry writer, not a gusher like the Visconti Arc beside it. Does not have problems with the inks I fill it with. Wrote right out of the box no tuning required.

 

Not easy to find the pen in North America (Canada for darn sure), under rated writer. Would purchase another no hesitations.

      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
