New Kaweco Liliput Finish!

[benbot517]

While roaming the "New Arrivals" section of Jetpens I came across a new finish for the Liliput. It's called fireblue and it's incredible.

And it's sold out. I can see why.

I bought a limited edition Blue one for £40 yesterday from Cult Pens - only 40 being made.

Indeed but it is a very unique looking metal FP.

i was drooling over that pen yesterday, beautiful finish and each one will be unique

but $168 is just a little over the top

I think this pen is gorgeous. But it's not worth $168 to me.

[Chi Town]

i agree, I just don't ee 168 worth of pen there

[sitnstew]

In my opinion, the finish is enough to make it worth $168. Now if only I could find one....

Buy a regular Lil, and take a blow torch to it.

Would that work on the their copper, brass or stainless pens ?

I doubt it.

The steel is raw (whatever that means) and they use some kind of oil on it to create patterns.

I would love to try it but the stainless and copper are over a $100

Might as well step and get it done right for $168

Probably it would not work on their other pens but not totally certain it's worth the premium price tag too.

Looks like it has been case hardened.

Don't really like that design... but wouldn't refuse it someone gave it to me...

[sakayume]

I much prefer the Copper finish, and have been really tempted to get one because the exterior design of the Lilliput really appeals to me, but I find the inability to use anything other than cartridges a huge negative.

I'm not sure I'd like the pen, but I am fascinated with the appearance and finishing process. If one ever shows up on Classifieds, I'll probably be on it!

Considering that finish is entirely handmade, you also have to factor in the cost of human labour to the materials cost.

 

What's the hourly rate of a master German pen maker these days?
