So, I just got a Noodler's Neponset (Eider), which is made of Ebonite. I like the way it feels, the ebonite is hard, but still somehow has more "give" to it than, say, aluminum...it's incredibly comfortable to hold.
I only have one complaint...well, maybe two complaints...but probably just one...I don't know, y'all can decide.
The ebonite smells bad.
Like, a nasty rubbery smell that I pick up on when I unscrew the body to refill it and sometimes while I'm writing with it. How do I get rid of this smell? It's a $75 pen, which for me is a lot (I will never get on the $300+ pen bandwagon...too many other hobbies, lol) so I really hope there is a fix for this issue.
As for my other complaint...well, I also complained that I'm having trouble appreciating the music nib, but I don't think that is the pen's fault. Hence, not sure if it is a valid complaint, lol
