The show will certainly be 'interesting'. I hope there will be no fatalities.

No, wait. (Sad face.)
I'll be at the Pen Show in POLAND.
April. Sarj will be there. Other Europeans, don't you know. The Poland Pen Show isn't as big as LA, but it's a lovely time.
I'll be at the LA Pen Show in spirit -- or at least while I'm enjoying Ricky's excellent coverage.

Re: Los Angeles International Pen Show 2015
I will be there. I recommend Grimaldi's Pizzeria across the street from the hotel. (Long walk since it's on the north side of Rosecrans.)

Re: Los Angeles International Pen Show 2015
Just heads up. I just received a message from Mr. Kuzuno of Stylo Art in Japan. He will be bringing a large assortment of his pens including some stunning make-i, urushi, raden, and rankaku pieces. They will have nibs from Pilot, Platinum, and Sailor available for his pens including Pilot FA ,Platinum SEF and also Naginata nibs. I've been helping them select nib assortments for the show.
Ms. Kazuno has a relationship with Takeda Hamono and will also be bringing in some Takeda kitchen knives. I've already requested certain knives.
Here is a pic of the special pens being brought to the show.

Re: Los Angeles International Pen Show 2015
Ricky, can you give me a ballpark price of what these pens run? I'll be able to make one significant purchase at the show and I'd like to know if I'll be able to afford one of these.
Re: Los Angeles International Pen Show 2015
No problem. They did not send any pricing info but I can estimate based on the price last year for similar pens.
Two years ago, I bought a pen similar to pens three and four (from the left) for $800 which was an absolute steal since the entire pen had raden and rankaku work. A similar pen from Pilot or Danitrio would have been $3k-10K. Last year similar pens ranged from $1200-$1500. The exchange rate is in our favor at the moment. The price includes a basic tier nib. I was told these were fit for a Pilot #10 nib. I assume a specialty nib like a Pilot FA or Sailor Naginata would be an extra charge.

Re: Los Angeles International Pen Show 2015
Well, that definitely gives me something to think about. Thanks, Ricky. I'll have to make sure to hit their table right away.
Do you know what days they'll be displaying at the show?
