Hi, Folks!

 

Thought I would start a thread on these short lived pens, introduced in 2014 and discontinued by 2019. There were four designs. Let's see yours!

 

This is a Caran d’Ache RNX.316 Fiber fountain pen c. 2015-2018. The name comes from the highly polished 316L stainless steel cap, barrel and nib section that are then laser engraved with a fiber design that is shaded by varying the intensity of the laser beam. It’s a 5 3/8 inch cartridge converter pen that opens by turning the end of the barrel, which pushes out the nib section so it can be removed for filling. The cap clicks on in a unique manner that aligns the cap and barrel design. It is fitted with a black, PVD-treated stainless steel nib that was available in fine, medium and broad grades. This now discontinued model retailed for $610. A matching rollerball pen was $550, a matching ballpoint pen was $355 and a matching 0.7mm pencil was $355.

Ooooooh... love the looks of the striped one!

There is only one thing that held me back from buying one - they just take cartridges, as far as I know. I don´t like cartridges.

 

I´ve seen a ballpoint with a honeycomb design somewhere. Is there also a fountain pen?

Good day Carola,

 

My RNX has a converter.

 

Regarding the honeycomb version I can't help, I am sorry.

The hexagonal design was only made as a ballpoint.

That´s too bad. It would have looked nice on a pen, too, I think...

Did the converter come with the pen or did you have to purchase one? If it´s the second possibility - what kind of converter would fit this pen?

There... you did it. I found a black striped one with a B nib and the shop had marked it almost 20% down, a price much lower than anywhere else. And there is no postage to pay. Seems like I am going to have a Caran d´Ache pen now...

 

Oh my... I didn´t want to buy any pens in the near future... :wallbash:

Just couldn´t resist... Thank you for this enabling thread! ;)

 

I just could stop myself from buying the ballpoint with the hexagonal design as well - it´s lovely but I wouldn´t use it much. And it just isn´t cheap enough to fall into the shopping cart as a bycatch.

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

      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
