dms525 Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Does anyone have experience yet with the reborn Radius1934? Somehow I got the notion that Leonardo is actually making these pens. True? David Link to post Share on other sites
da vinci Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 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. Link to post Share on other sites
nightwing Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Curious to know this as well. The unique cap band caught my eye. Link to post Share on other sites
dms525 Posted January 6 Author Share Posted January 6 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. David Link to post Share on other sites
Storch Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 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. Link to post Share on other sites

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.

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? Ruben Link to post Share on other sites

Ruben 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. David Link to post Share on other sites
dms525 Posted January 15 Author Share Posted January 15 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!

dms525 Posted January 20 Author Share Posted January 20 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? David Link to post Share on other sites
