Is this a CI or a BLS?

I agree... His work on my TWSBI 540's has rendered all of my other pens useless. I feel a class action lawsuit coming on... Who's with me!?

I'm pretty sure all of Pendleton's works is his signature Butter Line Stub Italic nib. I'm jealous of you Desfeuilles... Hopefully I'll have one of his pens in my collection soon

It's his signature "Pendleton Point Elegant Butter-line Stub~Italic," which gives great line variation while keeping the nib nice and smooth. It's a shade stubbier than the .5mm cursive italic on my Pelikan M805. I love it!

Lol, I know what you mean. I've sent him several pens for work--a couple I almost loved but wanted to really love, others that stunk but should have been great. He made them all fantastic for me and turned one pen into my almost exclusive user ever sense I got it back. Never made any sense of the "if you could have only one pen" threads, but becuse of his work I've got one that could fill the bill. It's almost doing that now anyway. Mind you, I don't have a collection of expensive pens by any means, but he turned my OK pens and pretty nice pens into what I wanted them to be, And that's key. Somebody may have found any one of these pens to be perfectly all right, but he made them what I asked for. He interpreted the expression of what I wanted into what I wanted. Maybe it's a fluke, but his reputation indcates otherwise. OK, gushing over.

If you really want to screw yourself up, visit him at a pen show. He has pens with samples of his various nibs to try. Making a decision can be enough to make your head explode.

There is usually a good group of people that will have dinner with Pendleton the Saturday night of the Atlanta pen show.

You may request BLS to be stubbier or crisper.

 

His work is stellar.

[searcher18]

He is also a nice guy.

Add me to the list of admirers. Pendleton sold me a Signum that he had ground to a cursive italic. The pen itself is a pretty little piston-fill but then you write with it and it's like that moment in movies where the background music cues up and everything comes together in glorious harmony.

oh my dear.. I have a few pens I would like to be worked on. Two lamy 2000's, a 14k visconti nib and a steel visconti nib. Do you think he is my man?

[Cake]

Wow, beautiful. Great before and after shots.

He saved my 18K nail no line variation OB Lamy Persona, that sat in a box. It is now a M-B CI, that is always in rotation.

One of my Rotring 600 has a 18k nail Fine nib, what was very boring. I mean I loved the pen, but it was just underwhelming while using it.

Now it is a fine stub-italic. Pendleton made me love it!

[dunhamsa]

He's good. He made me like one of my Watermans. Perhaps I should send him the other one now.

[heymatthew]

You guys better knock it off! If he knows how good he is, he'll up his prices. That being said, my TWSBI BB with Angel Wings is a lot of fun (but darn if that nib isn't ugly).

Drat. That means he won't be at the Poland Pen Show.

 

Have a great time, all y'all!

Well, if all the others are worthless, send them to me?

That seems a little drastic. Talk to me again in 10 years and see how I feel.
