Tom also sells his nibs with housing units separately, definitely worth checking out.
Always great to see the venerable F-C Loom featured on screen!
Hard for me to find interest in a metal, tubular,clipless pen; but,that nib does look nice. I'd love to try more architect-style nibs. (Wondering if I could fit a nib like that to my Visconti Mythos?)
Thanks for the review,Figboot!
The Loom is very high on my list of underrated pens.
If you have the time David, I would love to see an Architect's nib comparison. This pen, if the nib is as good as you say, is a relatively good price and they look nice.
Nice architect grind indeed
I was given the pocket fountain, mini lumos and pencil grip as a present. I bought a fine nib as the medium wrote more like broad. They seemed rather special but are now mass produced in China, shame he moved production from the UK.
Interesting. Perhaps I will see you at the Atlanta Pen Show next week.
I find this pen a refreshing simplicity in contrast to all the complex and sometimes over the top pens out there. For me the finish is outstanding for a metal pen. And Tom, if you are listening, a slightly longer screw cap finial and a loop clip would solve the lack of clip for for some. Or increase the already great price the equivalent of a few bucks US and include the clip and long finial with the pen so the user can have the option of installing the clip or not. Lol, I even have an idea of a clip design that would fit the clean look of the pen. At this price point and the rage of nib, one could purchase a few, each with a different nib. Thanks for this review David, for some reason this pen has tickled my fancy. I’m off to check out Tom’s site.
Thank you! All Tom's Studio reviews tend to be about the Pocket.
Maybe the top finial has been designed to unscrew so that it can be interchangeable with other future Tom's Studio finials that will have different colours, textures and maybe even made from other materials? Either way, i am a fan of Tom's Studio, particularly their pocket fountain pen which i really hope David will review in the very near future if he hasn't already.
You are correct, I saw video with Tom and Cult Pens in which he showed a range of ends
Cool! Thanks for sharing this. 🙂@@isabelwinstanley5445
You should try one from The Nib Studio INDIA
Just curious, will any other brand nibs work with this? Bock 250 #6 nib work?
If a pen ever looked like it should have a clip it is this one.
The nib looks great, and the pen is a lovely colour. Are the nibs compatible with a jovo #6 or Bock 250 screw in section?
I checked out Tom's website and reviews did say that the Nib units Tom sells are standard #6 sizing. Looking at how Tom is pricing his nibs they are probably Jowo nibs.
@@davidnavarrete6413 Thank you very much :)
@@davidnavarrete6413 I emailed the team and asked who the nib maker is:
Many thanks for your email! We have a dedicated partner who makes our nibs directly for us, take my sincere apology I cannot share this information with you.
Thank you for your understanding,

In an interview they said it's an UK manufacturer, but I'm not sure if I remember that correctly.
@@EverGreenElephant That's wierd, I dug around their reviews for the nibs and such, if I remember correctly they were mentioning Bock, or atleast fitting Bock Housing units. Idk
@@davidnavarrete6413 Oh really? They don't appear on the Bock website and Bock even list the tiniest partner... I wonder why they don't overtly state it.
