Clavijo?

Just wondering if anybody on here had had any experience with the Spanish pen maker Clavijo. I sent a message recently but still have not received a reply. I really do like the look of some of his models I must say…

I only use and collect vintage pens, but I know Clavijo and his pens. He is a nice guy and his pens are quite good.

 

He is a part-time FP maker and the summer holiday period in Spain is July-August.

Thank you for your response. I suppose I will have to contact him after the summer in that case.

 

Do you own or have you tried any of his models? I am torn between the Sofia and the Rioja, but the 1920 has a very austere classicism that I find particularly attractive. Does he do custom projects as well I wonder?

The "Story" page on his site says that he does do custom work: (what follows is translated by Google)

 

Using one of his well-known models —or the one that a certain user defines and describes and he performs it for him— will be to enjoy the pleasure of writing with something truly exclusive.

Thanks for posting about this maker, I'm liking several of his models. I will make a note on my calendar to contact him in September.

I don´t own any of his pens, as I am only interested in vintage, but I meet him at the Madrid Penshow every year (before Covid), where we have lunch with a large group of pen enthousiasts, and some of them have pens made by him, which I have tried and like.

 

A good friend of mine says he is a Zen artist !

 

Yes he does custom projects.

Three times is the charm.

In today's world of Convid, what was, is not necessarily easy anymore.

In reference to P. T. Barnum; to advise for free is foolish, ........busybodies are ill liked by both factions.

      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
