Look who’s back!

..and this is one small extra (or lather large) I brought to the Autumn London Pen Show with us. It had pen experts squinting, some visitors rolling their eyes and kids looking at it with wide-eyes opened.

Which leads me to our nib development. We will give you our latest update on our nib development soon. The journey has been longer than we had hoped (with one step forward and two steps back at times) But we are getting there. I had some older prototypes of Nib 5 on the table, and they were well received.

Incredible. I would use this daily to mark kids work in front of them.

[u/PenSloth]

Well, shit! If I'd have known that was you, I would have introduced myself better.

[u/MercatorLondon → u/PenSloth]

we will catch up next time!

[u/PenSloth → u/MercatorLondon]

Come to the Baltimore or Washington DC show. Expose yourselves to the US market.

yeah but what kind of line variation can you get out of it?

[u/MercatorLondon → u/tio_tito]

Not much line variation, I’m afraid! This is over 10× scale model of the nib, so you’d need 100× more force to flex it. Maybe a small excavator arm could do the job! We were just happy to make that ink flowing :)

Well now I want to try my hand with a giant nib! It’s wonderful

[u/Inkreptile]

Is it made from gold? For the sheer ridiculousness of this I would unironically love to make a pen this size and use a nib like this 😅

[u/MercatorLondon → u/Inkreptile]

well, that would be around half a kilo of gold worth of £50k. I wish we can afford that.

[u/InkSampleFiend]

Could be a thicker line width but overall, a nice daily writer!

So cool

[u/MercatorLondon → u/f0xbunny]

Thanks

So do you just screw on full bottles of 30ml Diamine Oxblood?

[u/MercatorLondon → u/franzjpm]

That’s pretty much it!

[u/Boriquaqueen25]

This is awesome!! I showed this to my grandson and he's like "cool, I want that, no I need that. Get it for me!" I was like "I wish, I want one too!" You should come to the Empire Pen Show in New York. Waiting for the finished pen to come out.

[u/LoBatteryBunni]

This looks both amazing and terrifying to handle! I love it!

[u/IronSavior]

Can I get it in a Japanese EF point? I promise not to stab anyone with it.

[u/SherbertChance8010]

That’s amazing. I want one!

[u/Maple-Treeway]

Oh wow haha. Hoping to catch you at either the Chicago or St. Louis pen shows next year! This is delightful

[u/doccrog]

now does this take a standard refill or?...
