New Penbbs 350 - Namisu Ixion Copy?

[jekostas]

Seems like a pretty obvious copy unless there's another brand that did this design first? Doesn't have the finial or tassie, but it's pretty close.

Looks like a copy of a Kaweco Sport with minor modifications. But so does the Ixion.

I have an Ixion. Its so much the same!

[Mech-for-i]

sure look like so ..

[IndigoBOB]

That does resemble an ixion. Is a lovely pen.

 

What material/type of metal is that? Looks like an anodized aluminum.

[jekostas]

According to the auction it's aluminum alloy.

PenBBS exclusively uses #6 sized nibs, so based on sizing I don't really think it's all that close to a Kaweco Sport.

If they appear in another colours I think I will buy. Let’s wait and see.

[sdbruder]

Oh. More colors:

And its already in taobao: https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z38n.10677092.0.0.2f6f1debMNPU2o&id=566157704899&ttid=wbid

Looks like the Delike Alpha series - probably alum - brass which I prefer would probably be too heavy

[Mech-for-i]

well its on retail shelf online, it said Aluminum, surprise surprise, it include an interchangeable rollerball housing ; this is going to be interesting , that might be a good candidate for making a matched pair

 

[holgalee]

Any ideas how heavy is the pen?

[RocketRyan]

Some quite nice colour options by the look of it

[IndigoBOB]

I'm curious about what the weight is as well, especially uncapped.

Holy... This looks very much like Ixion! I have one but if this is lighter and have a #6 nib I'd be interested in it..

All PenBBS pens use #6 nibs, but they're a touch shorter than those from makers like Bock or Jowo and don't always swap cleanly.

Looks like there is a brass version of this pen.

The aluminum pen weights 22g and the brass one is 58g. I asked them on their Etsy page

Have you guys noticed that Penbbs nibs kinda look like Sailor?
