Inside this large paper board box is a reasonably priced fountain pen treasure. After removing the outer shipper, there is a matching leatherette box of epic size… the suspense and tension builds.

Ka-Week-O! Review: 14K Gold BB Nib
Have you heard about the new 14K gold nibs available from Kaweco? Ooh la la! I got the chance to try out the BB, double broad nib. By eye, it looked like a stub nib, wide and flat but when I put it to paper, it created a wide soft line. Not hard edged at…
Ka-Week-O! Review: Kaweco AL-Sport RAW
The Kaweco AL-Sport in Raw is the same size and shape as the other Sport models but with a raw aluminum body with a high gloss finish. Its gorgeous in the hand. When compared with the brushed aluminum finish on Liliput, its obvious how much more polished the RAW AL-Sport is. Shiny! The RAW finish…

Review: Noodler’s Ahab with Goulet Pens 1.1mm Italic Stub Nib
The Noodler’s Ahab pen is a good plastic fountain pen option for the price point. And to be honest, though it is light in the hand like a plastic pen, it doesn’t look cheap or plastic-y. The metallic sheen in the color makes it look like a pricier pen. The chrome trim looks good and…
