New Australian Made Fountain Pens Available For Review

[JustWrite Pen Company]

 

INVITATIONS CLOSED

 

Thank you to everyone who has volunteered to review our new pens.

We have more than enough volunteers so I'm afraid the invitations are now closed.

(UPDATED 15.10.2015)

 

Do you enjoy testing and reviewing fountain pens? We have five prototype Blackstone fountain pens available for testing and we would value feedback from the FPN community on the progress so far.

We will send these anywhere in the world free of charge to members of the FPN and in return for your review, the pen and nibs are yours to keep.

All we ask is a review that follows the FPN pen review guidelines.

The pens feature #6 JoWo nibs and will be available in EF, F, M, B, 1.1 Italic and 1.5 Italic.

Complete screw in nib assemblies will be available which will allow you to quickly and easily change or replace nibs.

They should retail for about $100 Australian or $73 US Dollars.

Complete nib assemblies should retail for about $25 Australian or $20 US Dollars.

The prototypes are available in Black PU Leather or Black Carbon Fibre finish with Gold, Silver or Titanium trim.

If you're interested please email me at kevin@justwrite.com.au and let me know your preference for the pen finish and trim, and two nibs that you would like to try - so you can review how the screw in nib assemblies work.

Shame it's a brass bodied pen. That makes it too much like those heavyweight Chinese pens. I don't get on with them, or indeed any of the weightier pens made. Any chance that element could change, following reviews?

Email sent as well.

Very nice looking pens. I advise contacting Ed Jelley, Brad Dowdy, Mike Dudek, SBRE Brown, Dan Smith as some good people to get your pens to.

I am from Europe, email sent as well.

I've got as many pens as I can use at the moment, so I'll leave the testing to others, but I just wanted to say how great it is to see Australian entries into the fountain pen market! I hope your latest venture is a success.

Email sent... so fantastic to see Australian offerings in the Fountain Pen world... :wub:

[JustWrite Pen Company]

Thank you so much everyone who has volunteered to review our pens.

 

I'm afraid we cannot accept any more offers because we have more than enough reviewers and it's going to be difficult to choose.

 

I will choose the reviewers over the weekend and email everyone who so kindly responded to this invitation to let you know if you will be getting a pen or not.

 

If you don't get one this time we have more pens on the drawing board that we will also make available for review.

The reviewers are:

 

cyber6 - Canada

MikeW - Canada

dcwaites - Australia

jamerelbe - Australia

mehandiratta - India

TradArch - United States

 

The keenly observant will note there are actually six names there. I decided to give an extra pen away to make the job of deciding a tiny bit easier.

 

Once again thank you so much everyone who offered their time to review the pens.
