I'm going to have to order a Sorrento when i rebuild my pen budget again.

 

I think the Sorrento Blue is my pick of the most recent materials. Good color, depth, and variety of bright and dull. The Iride blue/green is also very nice. I think compared to them, the violet looks kind of one-note, but I haven't seen it in person yet.

Just picked up the Sorrento Blue at the Baltimore show from Dromgooles and it is absolutely gorgeous.

Seeing it in real life, I am convinced Leonardo could do an acrylic Impero if they really wanted to but have clearly chosen to go their own way.

I will try to get a picture tomorrow with them side by side so you can decide for yourself.

Sorry for being off-topic, but which pen case is this?

It is a custom 3 pen case by Michael Young in England. His username is MY63 here on FPN. It holds 3 large pens (around Namiki emperor size) and I could probably stand on it without issue.

If you want less blah, blah, blah and more pictures, follow me on Instagram!

Nice setting Zaddick! could you show the under side of that stub? thanks

I'll see if I can find the pen easily. It is just an untapped Jowo steel stub but it writes nicely. Between the stock 1.1 and 1.5 widths.

Got a little something to help pass the time today. Stuck at home, but the post office is still delivering! This is one that I didn't even know about until recently. It's the Momento Zero Delfino LE for Goldspot. The resin looks very similar to the resin used on Casa della Stilografica's Flame and Bamboo LEs, but in a different color. It's a very nice, bright blue with some streaks of white. Unlike the similar Blue Positano, this one has some transparency to the resin, which gives it some really nice depth. There's a cool little Dolphin logo on the reverse side of the cap. It's a nice touch.

 

I haven't inked it up yet, but I'm sure it will be a great writer!

Hahahaha I have two more en route...one of which is probably going to take a while, as it's coming from Italy. When I get those two, I'll update that family portrait!

I’m going to be able to join this thread soon. I ordered a returned Leonardo Momento from Pen Chalet. It has a stub nib, and I couldn’t resist. Plus I had a coupon code that took another 10% off the already 35% off returned pen.

 

It is the Blue Hawaii color. It was inked before the person returned it. The box and papers are with it.

 

I had earned a free bottle of ink through the Ink Drop rewards program. I chose Robert Oster Caffe Crema because I own a Pelikan Cafe Creme.

      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
