So after the two limited edition Gundam-themed fountain pens (Zabi and Char), Platinum and Bandai

has teamed up again to create 3776 Fountain Pen of Vist (Vist Foundation is one of groups from Gundam UC).

 

The bad news is that it only comes with 14k fine nib.

 

Price at 27000 yen and scheduled for delivery in May.

That is rather lovely, but how is the unicorn band made - painted on? I wonder how well it will last.

 

The tapestry set 'La dame a la licorne' is in the Musee de Cluny in Paris, and well worth a look for anyone happening to find themselves there.

Too many pens, too little time!

What's wrong with 14K nibs? Interesting, but not interesting enough.

 

Nothing wrong with the 14k nib. The only problem is available only with F.

 

The 3776 nib is definitely one of the best (if not the best) nib made by Platinum, but it would be even better if they offer other nib sizes (at least M and B).

According to the webpage, the unicorn emblem is produced via printing. It also mentioned that the resin is mixed with some type of glass substrate-based dye so the pen "glitters" at certain angles. I guess we'll have to see the actual pen to understand the effects this creates.

 

Also, the brass ring is printed with the words "A Mon Seul Desire", which is also from the tapestry.

 

(On a side note, the Medieval Museum was one of the places I skipped during my previous sojourn in Paris... went to Giverny instead, since I figured there's less chance to visit Monet's Garden than a museum inside Paris proper).

      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
