Onoto Magna Classic Tortoiseshell

[MisterBoll]

Although you're really tempting me to try one......maybe you or someone else can send one to me to try out....

 

Isn't that what this place is all about?

 

Of course I can send it to you - perhaps one in each weight so you'll be sure to get just the right one.

<sup>UPDATE

Due to the influence of this thread, pics, and certain FPN members, I have taken the plunge and ordered my first Onoto pen....a handsome Tortoiseshell....





Hope I like it......</sup>

 

 

 

 

^{So, no need to send your pen, MisterBoll.......but thanks for your kind offer.....}

Damn! And I had already told them they were going on VACATION! They'll be sorely disappointed.

 

Well, Congrats on the new Onoto! Now you can hang out with the cool-pen kids.

Well, I'd hate to let them down....so, send 'em on over.....

Thank you, sir.....I feel honored.....and excited!.....

Having coveted a Conway Stewart for many months I too took the plunge and went for one of these instead. I was impressed with the pedigree of Onoto as a manufacturer and their rich heritage but was ultimately convinced by the colour and the fact that it being a limited edition I could miss my chance to own one if I did not purchase now.

 

I now eagerly await Christmas morning!

[MisterBoll]

Well, you know what to say..................

 

"My new Conway Stewart?

A tortoise Onoto!"

[penmanila]

and thanks (or no thanks) to this thread, onoto has another customer here. it'll be my combined christmas and 60th birthday present to myself.

 

i was hemming and hawing a bit (knowing full well that i would order one sooner or later--sooner better than later, because it's a limited edition and could sell out soon), but a friend's reminder that a discount coupon (FPN1209) would lop 15% off the price made up my mind in an instant!

 

for those of us ordering from the US (or outside the UK and the eurozone), here's the link:

don't forget the coupon! (and now the long wait....)

Hmm, was thinking I don't need another Onoto this year but I too turned 60 so...

 

Thanks for the enabling, Post Script

I'll post comments as soon as I receive and try it out

For some reason there is a sudden tint of green about the world.

It's possible I am slightly jealous.

Enjoy it.

 

Regards,

Good one. All too true.

 

Tortoise is a bit draining on the pocket but the magnificent joy it brings is well worth the cost.

Mine arrived from penbox today, only 20 days until I can open it now!
