OK, I've heard so much hype I'd like to try one. I'd be most interested in the Maui Makai or Kahakai model, the broader the nib the better.

If anyone has grown tired of theirs or is ready to send theirs onwards, give me a shout. Pictures appreciated.

I really like these people, Hugh and Karol, who started this company. The materials are really lovely and everything ties together in a very compelling package. However, when you say you want to "try one"... the hype is really about the look. Much like a number of the semi-bespoke pen companies, all of the individuality is in the material and pen body, but the nib and all that is pretty stock stuff. I'm not saying you shouldn't pursue one, but this seems to be a pen you love with your eyes, not your hand and writing. As such, definitely a pen you would pick out in person, because the patterning of the materials is highly singular.
