Here is a quick impression of my new Pilot Elabo with a SEF job and resin body. I've included a few photos. The other pens for size comparison are an Italix Parsons and a TWSBI 580.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...010889b372.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...21d76edff0.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...b67e0ab92c.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...96488d2bf6.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...e41b3a5f9b.jpg

I took the photos early with just my desk lamp for lighting.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...8c5f5b780d.jpgQuote:

Midori paper does better line variation, but has more tactile feedback.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...d1344d5640.jpg

The Falcon is a fun pen, congrats! Reminds me that my has been un-inked for a while and I should put it in the next round of my rotation.
Lovely review, and how come I can't write and nicely as you do? You have caught the spirit of that flex-ish nib.
country dirt - I must say that your handwriting is anything but. Very, very nice!
Thank you for your kind words. Practice and writing slowly is the only way I can hold my cursive together.Quote:

It really is a fun nib to use and experiment with. I had an old burgundy resin Falcon which I loved. I received an offer that was too good to say no to and sold it. I just haven't gotten around to replacing it YET!
Enjoy your pen and keep up the writing - practicing and otherwise. There is something about sitting down and handwriting stuff that is irreplaceable - imho.
I really like this and the special nib. However, I only tried our the Metropolitan and not any really expensive pen yet. Do you think this is going to be a good buy for me?
Excellent review of an interesting pen. And your handwriting is enviable!
