If #4 or #11 ever need a foster home, I’ll volunteer 😁

 

That's very generous of you!

 

FYI, #4 is in Bob Dupras' "Ocean Cenote" resin. Leonardo has a pen for sale in this material on their web site. #11 has silver hardware. The same pen with gold hardware is listed on Novelli's web site. (Very limited edition.) No affiliation. I'll comp you the broker's fee. 😆

As the year nears its close, I am taking stock of my 2023 Leonardo Pen harvest. It was a good year, at least in that respect.

 

Happy writing!

Do the Audaces post?  If so, what is the length of the posted pen?  Thank in advance.

The Audace pens do post. The length when posted is 17.5cm ± 0.2cm.

My first Leonardo (I blame David! 🤣 and his spectacular photos of his 2023 collection)

 

Went for the Momento Zero Grande 2.0 Primary Manipulation 1 with a 14K 1.1 stub. Some early photos below!

Wow, a real tropical colored beauty!  What a happy pen.  Congratulations, your first Leonardo was a great choice!

“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.”

Got it in medium. Will take about a week to arrive. BTW got the green one too from the same series

@rohit1974 You mentioned previously that you had ordered the La Fenice nib in a Medium.  I was considering that as well.  How did you like it?  How did the line weight and ink flow compare to other pens?

Leonardo has issued a new model-The Fioritura. So far, it is available only in Special Editions on their web site. I like it a lot, so I hope it is continued in additional materials. The Fioritura is very similar to the Audace in size and form, but it has an ink window and a different, wider clip. Rather than the three narrow plain cap bands, it has  a narrow band and a wider one with lovely floral motif. Here are some photos for your enjoyment:

David,

My momma's not going to let me play at your house no more.  You're what she calls a 'bad influence '.

Very handsome pen, David.....as usual for your purchases....

 

My first reaction at seeing this pen was that it is a Delta Stantuffo.....very similar shape and design......to my eyes....

 

Enjoy!

You should always listen to your mother! (Maybe she would like a nice Italian fountain pen?)

David, I have to ask-does your spouse have an avocation that she approaches with the same zest as you? 🤔🥴

 Good eye, Mark! I had exactly the same reaction. On top of other similarities, the Fioritura uses the exact same type of piston filling mechanism as the Delta Stantuffos. To validate our impression:

Of course, they do share DNA.

No, she didn't inherit the acquisitive gene I got from my mother. (And she from her mother.)

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      By Misfit · Posted

      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
