Radius1934 re-birth

Does anyone have experience yet with the reborn Radius1934? Somehow I got the notion that Leonardo is actually making these pens. True?

I don’t, but I am very tempted too! I have met the owner at the Madrid pen show. 99.99% certain that the company makes their own pens but would need to check to be sure. I am certain that the owner would be happy to answer your questions. A nice chap.

Well, I broke down and ordered a red model with a B nib and a custom grind to CI. This is such a limited edition, I was afraid of missing out if I waited for reviews. The nibs look like JoWo's to me but with a custom-made feed. The feed looks a lot like the ones Leonardo is making for their gold-nibbed models.

How did you order? Did you contact them directly?

When I try to follow the link to the website from their FB page, it gives me a hosting error.

I got the error message from their web site too. I ordered from fontoplumo. It's the only store I found listing Radius1934 pens. Radius' social media say you can order directly from the company, but the Superior models may be sold out by now. I'm not sure.

It is available in some pen shops.

 

I'm sure some others would appreciate knowing who has them in stock. (I got mine!)

David, when I saw the material of the red model... it looked like the Rosso Verde material of your Stipula Etruria Facetted pen. That is, it looks like red with smaller green chunks running through it.

 

Would you mind posting a comparison pictures of the two pens side-by-side?

I obviously was attracted to the red resin, but I don't see green in it, only red, gray and black. In any case, I am sure I will post photos when I get it. I expect it will be at least a couple of weeks because of the nib customization.

My Radius Superior arrived yesterday! I am very impressed with it in lots of ways. I plan to do a first look review later today. In the meantime, here is a side by side photo of the red resin, comparing it to the Rosso Verde celluloid.

For context, here's a photo of the whole Radius:

Stay tuned for further developments!

Congratulations on your new pen.  You’ve been seeing “red” lately!

Hmmm ... Two of the last seven pens I have purchased have been red.

I have exchanged a couple messages with the Radius1934 owners. They say they plan a "standard production" release in February.

 

How about a little writing sample in the meantime?

      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
