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

 

Congrats! Why wait?

Because similar to small children across the world I like the idea of having something to open on Christmas morning and to play with for the day.

 

Was thinking of ordering Montblanc Irish Green to use in this, it will be my first time to use a colour other than blue. Any thoughts on what you are going to ink yours with?

I can't agree more. I'm eagerly waiting to open a Conway Stewart Belliver Poinsettia.

 

Kind regards,

 

Tim

OK, got it.....you've obviously got more patience than I....

 

As for ink....I'll probably start with JHerbin Cacao du Bresil.....

[MisterBoll]

I admire your strength and will power to wait until x-mas.

 

In so far as ink - I will be using Iroshizuku Yu-Yake.

I picked mine up today.

 

Lovely.

 

It is back in its box, waiting in the queue for inking. I might let it queue jump.

Which, of course, begs the question - exactly how many pens are in the queue?

Hmmm... If I told you that, you would know as much as i do - and that would never do!

Reminds me of "Green Ink and Ham".

Just received my Onoto Tortoiseshell. Should have had it yesterday but the postman just pushed a card through my door and was gone before I could get downstairs to take the parcel off of him

 

Trying to get into a new Onoto pen is not the easiest of tasks as the outer box is VERY well sealed for protection. The pen is every bit as gorgeous looking as I remember it from the WES Pen Show Now its time to ink it up and try out the latest in a long line of Onoto pens that I have purchased over the years

Lucky you!.....was hoping to have mine this week, but it didn't happen....maybe next week....

 

Meantime, ink yours up and let us know how it goes!.....

[penmanila]

do they really take the full 28 days to make the pen? plus, what, another week to ship?

What nib did you order for yours?

[MisterBoll]

Mine might arrive just in time for the holiday some of you are waiting so patiently for.

[ArchiMark]

So, do know that adds a bit of time....

[dcpritch]

Smooth stub on mine

Sounds good......

What a stunning looking pen. I admired the Onoto pens for years at pen shows before finally taking the plunge with the WES President's Pen. It's one of my favourite pens and all I can say is that I just wish Onoto pens were that bit cheaper so I could get another one.
