No, I couldn't find a single material I liked. So she had Jonathon Brooks *custom make* material that I described to him. Seriously this pen is so custom it's crazy. Cannot wait to write up the review! But it'll have to wait until tomorrow we've got company coming tonight, drat.

Current pen rotation: way too many!
My other pen is a Montblanc.
And my other blog is a tumblr!

Brahmam ebonite pen; an Indian manufacturer that had so far been missing from my collection, and that I was very happy to find on French ebay. I particularly like the bold ebonite swirl.

You all have posted interesting pens, I like them very much!
I have been busy the last few weeks.
Always wanted to get some nice pens, always postponed it because there were more knives to buy (I'm a knife collector )
So when I came accross the William Henry F8-5 Cabernet pen in an online knife-shop, I couldn't resist and pulled the trigger. (even though it is overpriced) And while I was at it, I decided to purchase the other 2 pens I wanted to try for a long time! Those were the Pelikan "Souverän" (I went with the M600 size), and the Montblanc "Meisterstück" (I decided on the 145 size)
Here's some pictures!
All three have Medium nibs, the Montblanc & the Pelikan 14K gold, the William-Henry has an 18K gold nib.
Really like all three of them. Best quality for the money is the Pelikan (which was the cheapest of the 3)
Kind regards,
Jos

Yet another ancient Onoto and like so many of them, with a wonderful nib. This one proved to be a trouble-free rebuild.

Just picked this up with some new ink. Loving both.

Just today, I received two Jinhaos and an ink from Goulet: J. Herbin Lierre Sauvage. So far, so good, though these Jinhaos are heavy!

Indeed I have. I decided to undertake the onerous journey back to the shop and ask for an exchange. As I had only purchased it yesterday, they were happy to oblige. The replacement is completely trouble free I am happy to report. It was worth the trip. It just goes to show that these "tricky" falcon nibs suffer from quality control issues. This new one starts immediately and doesn't skip at all. I can't wait to get back to Dubai and put some Diamine, J Herbin et. al. in it.
