The announcement just went up. My order is placed. Hoping they don't disappoint. Anyone else going to try them?

I'd like to try this, too. Seems cool with perforated pages.

I was looking at them too. Maybe someone other than TWSBI will carry them, so I can order a bunch of stuff (that I don't need because I have enough to last me a year already) all together? Anyone know if they will be sold any place other than the TWSBI website?

I'm sure they'll trickle into the normal TWSBI retailers as stock becomes more available.

I would guess that they will eventually be available where TWSBI pens are sold.

I've got papers upon papers. I will look for them at the DC show however.

Looks good! These may give my webbies a run for their money.

Looking good, how about ghosting, bleed through - doesn't seem to have a feathering issue based on the photo's - so your overall impression Lord Vada?

fliker isn't

I did a little review also. Should have put it in this thread, but started a new one.

If they happen to show up at the Triangle Pen Show next weekend, I'll pick one up. Just because.

Thanks for the mini review Ivan !

The medium looks like a pretty good size. Do you have any notebook covers for it?

The Medium is just slightly smaller than a Large Rhodia Webbie and just slightly larger than a Moleskine Large/Piccadilly Medium notebook. I am pretty sure my Rickshaw Bagworks Moleskine Classic Folio (http://inktronics.wordpress.com/2012/11/20/rickshaw-bagworks-moleskine-classic-folio-han/) will work with it but I have not had a chance to try it yet.

On another note, here is a picture of the backside of that writing test page:

You can see a slight bleed mark in the top right. That is the Rotring Core with a "XS" nib. When I did the little ink blot, I did not like that I missed some spots, so I went over it a second time. That made it bleed. The Levenger Carbon F is the next one that almost bled. It has a medium nib. That is also the pen with the Private Reserve Ebony Blue. It was basically the same situation but this due to the ink. It started hard and I went over the ink blot a second time.

I love that it lays flat. I wasn't really interested in it until I read KI's blogpost...thanks for that :tsk: hehe

Dot paper would really swing it for me!

Unfortunately the elastic closure ripped off the back after only 3 days of normal use. Not a deal breaker for me, I still think its a great notebook but this should be remedied
