I was hoping to show you a picture of this new, very sleek looking pen, but it seems that's not an option right now.

 

Lightly brushed, matte back body, gloss, transparent red section and ink window, designed around the Zebra G flex nib with a purpose-designed ebonite feed, but can take any screw-in #6 nib unit. Clipless.

 

Handmade in America by me.

Limited run.

 

Please have a look at the full story at the link above.

Your link seems to be working now.

Yowza, but that section is bright....

Here are the images. As always, you do amazingly beautiful work.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

The section looks different compared to the one that displayed on the desiderata pen website. On the website the section looks way cooler red solid marblelish, while here looks plasticky.

The material of the section MUST have changed...

 

Above the section was described as: true, transparent red.

 

The Web page now describes the section as: Gloss, solid red ebonite,

 

I agree that the current image on the website looks much more appealing than the image above.

 

Looks like an improvement, which is what Pierre tends to do.

This topic is from about a year ago, so the latest version could have changes.

 

Kewl: The whole idea of Desiderata pens is to be used for Zebra G nibs.

 

You could look at Fountain Pen Revolution ultra flex nibs with extra flow ebonite feeds.

“I admit it, I'm surprised that fountain pens are a hobby. ... it's a bit like stumbling into a fork convention - when you've used a fork all your life.”

I try. I don't know how to change the image here, but my current way of doing it is all black and red ebonite. The earlier pen you see pictured above is transparent red acrylic plastic.

 

I agree, it was an improvement. I wonder if they offers a soft nib, not a full flex zebra G nib.

Zebra G nib.

Yes, when you buy one of my pens, you get the flex option. You don't have to do Zebra G. You can get regular (JoWo) nibs as well in the standard sizes.

Pretty pen and I like the long detailed helpful manual so the user understands the care and maintenance.

 

I was puzzled by the pen name until I read the product page.

 

I think it will be a good tie to the upcoming release of Shaft :lol:

 

We need more product placement in this hobby :)

On the website, the BAMF nib options are:

JoWo #6 Broad

JoWo #6 Extra Fine

JoWo #6 Fine (.4-.5mm)

JoWo #6 1.1mm Italic

Pilot Extra Fine (proprietary nib collar)

Zebra G

 

If I want a writing experiences of a soft nib just like those in the Pilot FA nibs, what's the closest option should I take? (but I dont want a zebra G)

Oh, if you don't want to use the Zebra G nib? No option. That is the flex option.

Pierre I wish you would just cave and put a clip on the BAMF - I really want to have one as a work pen, but my uniform requires pens with clips, since the breast pockets are stupid and pens without clips fall in and go sideways.

 

I would also be super down with a soubriquet in solid clear acrylic. Is that something you can do?

 

The filling system you made for the cocobolo pen is utter genius, BTW. A wood barrel, self filler system with a proper ink window and no hassle.

So, not the teleportation aficionados' pen I was hoping for. :/

And I didn't have the heart to tell her why.
And there wasn't a part of me that didn't want to say goodbye.

+1 for the clip suggestion. Actually, anything that would serve as a roll stop. A clipless faceted pen would do that, too :)

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
