OMG ! When your pups growled I nearly jumped out of my skin ! The stereo sound of my earbuds made the initial sound sound like a person mimicking an animal outside. I was quietly sitting in my living room at night listening and I totally jumped and squealed. This in turn caused my husband to freak out because I freaked out. "What's that noise ?!" I yelped. "What noise ?!" He said, fear racing across his brow. "That animal sound." I said. "Do you have your earbuds in," he asked, relaxing a bit. By then your pup had barked a second time and you were talking about him and I realized the source of the sound. It was very funny. (Nice pens.)

I have 4 Wancher pens and love them all! The Rising Sun Maki-e is simply stunning, the True Ebonite in polished black is nearly the perfect “basic fountain pen”. But the True Urushi pens are my favorites. The Vermillion is beautiful, and the Aka-Tamenuri will age into a gorgeous pattern of burgundy/vermillion. Needless to say, I anticipate adding more to my collection!

I’m considering buying the piccolo cigar urushi. It seems like they cut corners and reduce quality to produce more economic options, do you concur?
@michaelcsizma3996 Жыл бұрын
@@angellondian7628 If you are asking if the Nakaya is a higher quality pen, at twice the cost it should be. But the Wancher is still a very high quality pen, and well worth the price. Value does not necessarily mean cheap, or low quality.

What fun! Such lovely pens. I could wish to have allowed my passion for fountain pens to emerge before I had become so old. As it is, I have one expensive, "grail" pen (Pelikan Souverän m805 Stresemann broad nib -- writes well in reverse for normal letters), which will be a primary correspondence pen until my handwriting deteriorates and I pass it on to my pen-loving son -- and must content myself with the vicarious pleasures you and your fellow reviewers open to me. Many thanks for lettiing me experience these splendid Wanchers!

OT: I've been wanting a Kaweco Sport in the raw brass like yours for the longest time. I got it today and it didn't disappoint. It feels so good in the hand and almost feels like it has a life to it. That's probably due to it being a raw metal and how small it is when it's closed. I was constantly rubbing and touching it. It will be fun to watch it age! These pens are beautiful but I will have to just watch. I really like the teal one .

Hi, I got my Kaweco Brass Sport last week and I am in love with mine too! I bought the Steel one first as I wasn't sure that I would like the way the Brass aged, I like to have nice and shiny things LOL. I like the Steel but I LOVE the Brass! It just feel so smooth and tactile in my hand, I just want to have it with me all the time, it's like a comforter for me. What ink do you have in yours and what nib did you go for?
