Magnifique stylo-plume. L'écriture est fluide mais pas trop, il est très bien équilibré et très bien réalisé.
Très bel outil que j'ai hâte d'exploiter encore plus !
This pen is awesome! It sits heavy in your hand, but not so heavy that it inhibits the writing. This is my first (and, given how sturdy this thing is, maybe my only) fountain pen, and I use it write on kraft paper. There's nothing quite like the scratchy noise of the nib, well-oiled with ink, as it moves across the rough pulp.
The only downside is the top and bottom of the pen aren't entirely smooth, so it hard to get it to stand upright on its own. But that just means I get to go hunt for a cool piece of wood to turn into a pen-holder.
Thanks for making such a cool product. Would highly recommend.
Looks absolutely wonderful and unique. Writes smooth, and I like the balance. Great fountain pen.
My background is in Mechanical Design Engineering, but now working as a Program Manager. Love using this in the office reminding me of my roots in machine design.
Brutalism is a 20th century architectural style that expressed the inherent beauty in the raw and unpolished appearance of the structural interiors of a building, often removing the coverings usually installed to hide these details. These pens are brutalist in their sensibility and their very rawness highlights their beauty. The steel is mild (not milled), a softer steel than that used for knives and surgical instruments but eminently durable. A steel rod is carved by hand, not mass produced on an assembly line. Every pen is unique and signed as an individual work of art. The patina on this will be quite beautiful over time. It is clear that much affection and labour go into the making of each pen and after many decades of using fountain pens it's a pleasure to add one that is truly unique. Recommended without reservation.
