Blue anodized Ti 136 sighted

[Dan Carmell]

As seen on a small, new AliExpress store. This could be a hand made item, not an official new version of the titanium P136. I guess we will see. If anything could get me to buy an addition to my hammered version, this would be it. 
 

It appears there’s a lot more enthusiasm and praise for the Asvine J16 than the Ti 136 and I’m a little surprised at that. The J16 is, I’m sure, as good as the rest of the Asvine pens, but it’s bland. And it feels a little ironic that such a featureless pen would feature a similarly blank-faced Jowo nib.

I haven’t heard of this version of the TI-136 before. I’ll check the official store on Taobao later.

Alright. No new blue Ti 136

The AliExpress store I generally buy from says it’s new from Majohn, although they laughed at the high price.

If it was listed as "hand crafted aftermarket" it's worth no more than $70. 

 

If it was listed as "Majohn Ti136 New Color", it is definitely a fake, as Majohn never provides such color. 

 

They are either dumb or stupid, and believe their buys shares the same grade of intelligence of theirs. There is an easy way to identify those scammers: machine translated English.

I guess prices will "slowly" reach higher and higher levels. Chinese pens at $100+ - who would have thought this a few years ago.

Apparently the seller misunderstood my question and this blue version is indeed an aftermarket modification.

Fortunately, this is just an anodization that you can do at home with some 9-volt batteries. Here's a link to a fancy walkthrough but you can find more "at-home" tutorials:
