I love the color and materials! The nib looks enjoyable as well. I appreciate the pros and cons that you pointed out. Not knowing which end is the right end you’re unscrewing could get a little funny sometimes, haha. Great review! Thanks for taking the initiative and getting the word out.
It’s a really nice every day carry! But just needs a few bits ironed out :)) I still think you need a schn dsgn pocket 6 in your life!
Like your review, also I must admit I like the music you play "Consider the stars" the Lord bless you
Great review! Just ordered mine. Also in blue. 🤩
Hope you enjoy it!
@@PenFriends Yeeees! It arrived this morning and I’ve been writing with it the whole day. Fantastic! I ordered one with a gold nib, it writes really nicely and wet, which I just love!
The package is lovely!!
the packing is something that is very consciously done:)
I really like the minimalist aluminum design of the pen. I'm not sure I would be such a huge fan of the nib, but maybe swapping it would be a simple enough solution. Thanks for the review!
You’re most welcome! I did forget to mention I believe it’s compatible with jowo :)
A person who writes with a flex nib fountain pen should expect to slow down to allow the ink to flow nicely.
Typically other flex nib pens I’ve used in the past do allow for regular speed. The model I reviewed wouldn’t even keep up with slow writing. However, I know Sunil has modified the feed since the review.
I dig that color scheme..company colors
That was their purpose :) it’s a very handsome blue!
I'm really curious and looks like they will issue some "raw" material pens, even with untipped nibs. Can't wait to see
Having spoken to him since, I know there’s lots in the works!
@@PenFriends oh boy 😁
This definitely feels like a British version of Karas pens in the U.S. Not a metal pen fan, though I do like the color of this one. Could the flexing issue be ink related?
Metal pens are making huge waves these days ! Especially for the EDC community. I’m definitely seeing a slight shift to wood and metals.
In regards to the flow, I’ve tried various inks, but a flex nib should be able to keep up with most inks!
Very nice 👍🏻
It sure has a lot of promise!
@@PenFriends surely
First time heard about it. That step up from the section is too much. It appears to be well built. 😊
Agreed! Hopefully in future models it will be modified.
The step might look a bit much. But what's important is how it feels in your hand. Only way to find out: try it!
Love the inscription on the nib but that step down is a bit too much. Interesting pen!
I think there is a winner here for this pen! And with a bit of tinkering it’ll get there!
Nothing beats a Pilot Metropolitan for $20.
Superb writing experience with that pen
Perhaps try holding the pen 'face on' to get a better flex, rather than the slanted sideways style you use?
The nib just doesn't have a lot of flex though. I have tried that method in the past, but a pen should be able to flex with a classic triangular grip :)
@@PenFriends Yea, I think he uses a 'special' pen when he demos, also it's quite expensive.
Low manufacturing runs, price of living in the UK all contribute to the pricing of the pen. I think I am going to write/produce an article about pricing for fountain pens, because I feel there is a lot to talk about on this matter.
I would strongly disagree with you about making any changes to the cap/barrel to indicate which end is which. The design for me is very important. I can live with a less than perfect nib and writing experience. The equal lengths of the cap and barrel IS the selling point and any printing on the barrel would be counter to the design.
The writing experience should be paramount for any pen. No matter how beautiful the design is, if it doesn’t write to user expectations, it becomes a pricy paper weight.
@@PenFriends Again, I respectfully disagree. Had you changed the first word in your opening statement to "My" I would have taken less umbrage at what you think a writing experience should be or what a users expectations are ! A Faberge egg is a paper weight . A thing of craftsmanship and beauty (MY opinion) It doesn't have to DO anything.
@@195516Z You disagree that the point of a pen is to write?
