    Default Omas 360 Blue & Aurora Afrika LE

    Starting with the Aurora Afrika Limited Edition (1,765 of 7,500), Celluloid piston filler with an 18K 'M' Nib (the feed is marked 'M', but the nib is an EF for some reason).









    And the Omas 360 in Blue Vegetal Resin (Modern, 2011, Cartridge/Converter) with an 18K Rose Gold EF and Rose Gold Trim

    I'm curious about that triangular profile. Is it comfortable to hold?

    I have the vintage style of this pen and it has the same triangular shape. It is very comfortable. If you can use a Lamy Safari, it is very similar although smaller in girth. If you hold your pen in the proper "tripod" grip, it feels very natural.

    In fact it can help *train* the tripod grip. I gave a friend with a horrible death grip a Lamy Safari and while she found it horribly awkward at first a few months later I would notice her writing and even with another pen her grip had been totally changed, she was way more comfortable as a result.

    Its true and exactly how I rid myself of the death grip. Took me 6 months to finally get it to where I did not have to think about it anymore.
