Jules Squid Pen From Drago Pens Via Winedoc

[jd50ae]

 

Ok, after gnashing of teeth I decided on American Blue from Private Reserve.

After polishing, holding and staring forever I finally put pen to paper.

I am not a techy so this will be short and to the point.

 

I can not find a single problem with the fit and finish.

The design is outstanding; photos do not do justice to this pen.

I have no problem holding it; it is very comfortable in my hand and rests perfectly.

It glides across the paper and even as smooth as it is I do not find myself running off the paper.

The nib is second to none and even writing very fast you have great control. I did not expect the flex......yahoo.

 

Two problems.

1. It was hard deciding on the ink.

2. I find myself looking at it for really long periods of time.

 

SN 1 and it is all mine, courtesy of personal silly person.

I swiped winedocs photo.

That is one spectacular pen. Enjoy it!

[DRP]

Enjoyable to look at; enjoyable to use. Sounds like a good pen + a great gift.

[Lloyd]

Shouldn't you use sepia ink in it?

 

"sepia: Rich brown pigment prepared from the ink of cuttlefishes"

actually I was trying to show that I was holding my tongue...

 

That is also what I was implying you were implying

[inkysmudges]

Ok, I'll bite: what is "Drago Pens" and where can I see more of them? I do a little jewelry making on the side and this Squid pen has me intrigued.

[KCat]

My PSP would likely do the same if I indicated just how much I loved the pen and could somehow explain it's "value" as a part of my collection.

 

I would have such a difficult time inking it, though. I'd agonize over it until I probably couldn't justify owning it.

 

I still think it's gorgeous. I'm envious.

 

Enjoy! American Blue sounds like a good choice. At some point I'd try Black Magic Blue in it. I mean, if it were my Jules.

Truly glad you like the pen. I tall ya, this pen almost did not reach you as I have problem not staring at it too. LOL. Enjoy the pen. Holly is a remarkable woman.

 

Best,

Truly wonderful, something to treasure for the rest of your life. Enjoy.

I have only one question about this pen:

 

Whatever the squid is holding in its tentacles... where is it trying to put it? :blink:

 

Congratulations, and I'm glad you're enjoying it so much. It really is an extraordinary pen.

JD, you are one lucky FP owner! Not many people have the pleasure of owning that fine instrument. It is a remarkable conversation piece too. I'd almost sell off my prized collection pieces to own that Squid. Incidentally, what kind of nib did you get with it and what were the options?

 

Enjoy, enjoy!

[Ged]

Congrats JD! Nice pen

It is a stub with flex and of course variation....................

Great ink choice, JD!

 

Wonderful to see how you are enjoying your Jules.

Just a quick postscript to tell inksmudges that the maker of this pen is Dragon, just Dragon, and your best source of info until they get their website up and running, is Kevin Cheng, our own winedoc.

Thanks Dan, I was beginning to think that maybe my wee question had gotten lost in all the hubub.

Happy to help!

something rare and original enjoy it

[Dan Carmell]

I love the idea of the squid signal--I hope it would be an inky blue cloud!

 

And it's great seeing JD enjoy his pen so much.
