My prototype pen has arrived - it's a reasonably hefty pen, but I'm pretty impressed with the way it looks and the way it writes. Will reserve all other comments, positive or negative, till I've given it a good test run - but many thanks to Kevin from JustWrite for the opportunity to try it out!

For everyone who didn't get a pen to test and put their hand up for some ink samples - they are all packed up and ready to go out in tomorrow's post.

They include one 6ml sample of each of the following from our Colours of Australia series: Barrier Reef Blue, Sydney Harbour Blue, Uluru Red, Black Stump Black and Daintree Green.

 

I hope you enjoy the ink samples !

Kevin,

Received the full set of bottle inks I recently purchased from you, a couple days ago. They are just fantastic inks!! Beautifully saturated colors and very well behaved. I couldn't be more pleased. Hope to buy the black leather Axiom when it becomes available. Just Write has hit one out of the park (as we say in USA) with these pens and inks. Props to you!

I've received aamples of the inks. They're rather nice and heavily saturated. One (BRB) has some flow issues, but I need to play with them more to write something reasonable.

It is very possible that some changes may be made following the reviews. But the Axiom was always destined to be a heavy pen and it's not likely we'll be changing the weight drastically.

 

There is nothing fundamentally wrong with a heavy pen. Some people, e.g. those with large hands, prefer that. I am one: my favourite pens, and ones that I used regularly, are all high-end Italian pens that weight 60+ grams. This is the one I have inked right now (70+ gm): http://www.nibs.com/omas-arte-italiana-sterling-silver-limited-edition-vermeil.htm

 

One can have a range of heavy pens and a range of light pens, or one can have either and have people go elsewhere for the other.

Some of the people at my work who tried the Axiom were not put off by the weight, just the balance. As I said in my review (linky above) lightening the barrel finial would fix that, just as those of us who have Kaigelu 316s and replaced the metal finial with one of richardandtracy's acrylic one have found.

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
