New Australian Made Fountain Pens Available For Review

[Jamerelbe]

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 !

Already ordered my full bottles - pleased to have them arrive today!

 

Now, to work out what pens to trial them in...

Gotta say, those Heavy Metal models are my cup of coffee... Hope to catch them up for review in the future.

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.

[dcwaites]

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.
