looking very good, and a welcomed offer of something different, particularly the nib.

Regarding ebonite colours, some of the japanese striped ebonite are among the best available, cumberland style,

deep blue/black, red/black, green/black, sand/black, etc. Many here also appreciate solid colours.

FPN has a poll system, you could probably show a choice of ebonite and ask here to point out favorites...

Take my money. These are almost the perfect size pens for me (I find Aurora's to be a very good fit in terms of section and girth), maybe a bit smaller on the Asymmetry. Would love to see one with a stopper or clip to compare although I don't mind the plain look either.

Rather nicely designed pens, less is definitely more. Very tastefully classic designs and I'm particularly liking the clean lines of the capped V8.3.

 

If you don't mind me asking, what is the reasoning, if any, behind the model nomenclature of the pens? I assume they are version numbers?

 

Thanks.

indeed, i prefer classic clean looks, practicality, and solid build that will last forever.

yes you are correct.

the first pen created was V1.0 (made of solid aluminum)

i will soon create my website explaining everything, including every version.

hi parnesh,

the clip i am working ATM. it will increase some cost of the pen, if included.

surely i will try poll sometime!

but soon i will make the make in all sorts of colors, including yellow!!

in addition to color ebonites, i will also introduce color urushi tamenuri, na-jeon techniques, metallic overlays, etc.

but i will need more, more time ;)

Also what are the nib tipping sizes you can offer? Pls consider offering OBB, O3B sizes, there is a serious shortage of such nibs on the market.

In case you wish to write to me, pls use ONLY email by clicking here. I do not check PMs. Thank you.

      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
