Danitrio Fellowship Membership Post

[kiavonne]

I'm pretty sure not everyone will want one. When the time comes, when it is actually ready to be available, I imaging we'll sign up 1st come 1st server for whatever number there is, and probably limited to one per customer. We'll be ok. Regardless of whether I am able to get one, I know I will be getting more Danitrio urushi pens in the future, and I'm a very happy pen person.

 

[Nibble]

I should love to be on the list.

I really like my two Danitrios.

$900 might (will) be too much! But please keep me informed.

As with most urushi pens, posting is not recommended. This pen can not be posted. It looks small next to Genkai... so are many pnes :-), But it really is not that small. I'll take some comparason shots to other more common pens later.

It's a nice size -- somewhere between an M600 and an Etruria, seemed to me.

Kevin, You know I am getting one whatever the final design is. Can not wait!!!!1 :bunny01: :bunny01:

Danitrio has agree to have their artist do a couple of prototypes and we'll see what he can come up with. I have asked them... ok, more like begged them to keep this pen under $900 delivered to you. I want the pen to be affordable, but not sacrafice on quality, and I think they understand my point and support this whole heartly. A preliminary head count is appreciated, but I understand without a firm price, this is difficult. The list stands close to 60 folks at this time, but I figure some would not want the pen for variety of reasons, so 50 pens should be enough?

 

Would it make sense to have people who're interested in the pen pony up a deposit? That would give a rough headcount of people who're seriously committed to purchasing the pen.

Mmmmm, deep purple undertone. We even get a great new special urushi! This is going to be fabulous, along with the Haiku. I'm definitely impressed! Thanks, Kevin! (great "story") And thank you Pen Posse!

 

Lisa, how did I know you would walk away with a bat pen? And now I'm curious about the Russian-like pen...

 

Kimy, the bat pen is amazing and gorgeous! I've already had four different inks in it. I have to keep black in it (Platinum black) so that I can use it the most. I'll be taking photos of it now that I've uploaded Pen Posse Nihonmachi photos.

 

Here's the Danitrio maki-e that I'm calling "The Russianesque":

Please keep in mind the price should be BELLOW $900, not $900. I just don't know how much bellow at this time until the final product is done. I think with any pens, if the price of the pen is priced right and that it is done with quality, then people would want it, and to thank the supports from all of you, Danitrio is taking this very seriously :-)

 

Best,

I took photos of the Fellowship Prototype next to my Sheaffer Flat-Top OS, but the photos aren't good. Suffice to say that the sizes are comparable and very comfortable.

 

This is so exciting!

[steersbylitning]

Please add me to the Fellowship, even though I probably won't be able to afford the SE unless the price is down in the $500-$600 range. I'll just have to enjoy it all vicariously.

 

I have two Dani-Trios at the moment, a prototype with a bamboo motif that I got from Kevin, and one that I bought from a fellow FPN'er that has a gorgeous maki-e butterfly. Both are large pens, but very light, and a pleasure to write with.

Ok, then! I LIKE this pen!

 

And Deirdre's Bernini is fabulous, too!

 

Wish I could have been there.

Hi, Chris!

 

There's a Minneapolis Pen Posse on April 11. You're sure to meet kindred spirits there!

 

Welcome to FPN!

You have Danitrio maki-e, right? So you know that pictures don't really do them any justice. This pen was just a smidgen over four times the cost of my Bat Pen, and you know something? That seemed entirely reasonable!

 

I have to admit that the meeting did seem to be missing a few people -- those of you who live too far away. We're lucky Kevin lives nearby.

[winedoc]

OK, here are some comparason shots of club pen raw ebonite prototype and other well known pens...

These photos also proof that I do use other pens other than Danitrio, and only reason these pens are still with me is that they all have nibs done by John, Richard, or Deb.

 

From left to right:

Parker Duofold (smaller size), club pen raw ebonite, Pelikan 200?, Full size Omas Paragon, MB 146, MB 149, Omas Marconi

As you can see, uncapped, it is about the size of MB 146

This pen is amazing. Oh I wish.

 

I really like the shape of the prototype fellowship pen, though I do wish it was the normal Takumi length. I really like the thickness of it.

[reprieve]

I do not yet own a Danitrio, but I have been contemplating one for a few months now. Thanks to this post, as well as to Mava's (and a few other members') stunning photographs, I finally gathered all of my courage and sent an e-mail to Winedoc. I think I (maybe... probably... yes, almost definitely) just decided on my next pen!

An advanced congratulations is in order for you, reprieve! So what Danitrio are you awaiting info on from Dr. Danitrio?

 

PS- Thanks for the photograph comments.

[playpen]

Congratulations Reprieve! The world awaits your decision. Which pen did you order? I must tell you that after the pen arrives you will wonder what took you so long to contact Kevin.

 

Please post photos so we can all enviously rejoice with you!
