Visconti's New $6,000 Limited Edition Van Gogh Dreaming Starry Night Fountain Pen | Kirby Allison

[@ForrestNeal]

As a writer I appreciate good pens and that looks like the holy grail of pens!

[@kirbyallison]

Generally speaking, I find extravagant limited edition fountain pens underwhelming, but Visconti really outdid themselves with this piece.

[@conner.9262]

I have personally learned so much from this great podcast….. watching from the uk…👍

[@natalieportman3057]

Thanks for sharing Kirby. Beautiful pens and great video.

[@jmbaug1229]

Beautiful content 👌🏼 ✨️ I purchased a Visconti fountain pen on a recent holiday trip in Milano. ♥️ J.

[@Drbob369]

There is something profoundly absurb about status and class superiority great privilege to wildly overspend for trivia 😅

[@illegalopinions4082]

That pen looks lovely! If someone has the money for it then they'll love it

[@claudeoshea8425]

You should take out an add in the Robb report for your online store,some heavy hitters read that magazine

[@hevnleee]

This gives new meaning to the question, "Where is my pen??"

[@weeksy79]

Given the issues with carrying knives in the UK, pens are a nice “usable” heirloom

[@kevinsimm2063]

Does it come with swiss bank account cheque book ?

[@Mooooooof]

As a lefty, I can’t use one of these as much as I’d love to. Smudge central

[@SHMPhotography97]

Modern quick dry fountain pen ink is very lefty friendly. You'd be perfectly alright😊

[@jlgrissom3]

Legend

[@CraigStokes73]

That certainly is a masterpiece of a pen and I'd love to own one...but that would likely lead to divorce. 😂 I'll have to be content with my Lamy 2000 for now.

Namiki Yukari Maki - e pens are the best in the world

[@robhastings1005]

You can have all the money in the world but it can never buy true, authentic, informed, or natural discrimination in matters of taste and charm.

[@nomansland4811]

Ridiculous.

[@daintiestquarters3411]

The price? Yes. The pen? just a little.

[@TennisFitnessUk]

Please don’t be disrespectful to Kirby. This is a fine pen at a good price

[@daintiestquarters3411]

@@TennisFitnessUk There is no disrespect at all. Visconti makes some beautiful pens, for sure. But they also make some that are over the top. This is not Visconti's fault, because all the competition does the same, even Montblanc. In the end, it is a matter of taste. A dandy, for instance, would look great with this pen in his hands.

[@kirbyallison]

Well, we are actually selling it at a discount to the $6000 list… but, yes. Very expensive. But it is also very impressive. Not something I would recommend as an every day pen.

[@kirbyallison]

As I stated, I’m generally indifferent towards Visconti’s over the top pens. But I found myself really drawn to the colors and texture on this one. It’s a stunning pen.

[@gentlewolf]

Does a $6k pen make your writing more convincing?

[@kirbyallison]

certainly feels more convincing… Lol

[@DarioThober]

​@@kirbyallison your work is very much appreciated; you are bringing back the value of how things are done, which, in the end, brings life and perpetuity even to the minor mundane action; being properly dressed or writing a note with care, with such an instrument, feels right and fulfills the moment

[@craigallison7056]

If you’re going to promote such an item at least pronounce his name correctly. Van Go?

[@davidph123]

LOL

[@mljones99]

Silly and tacky.

[@daintiestquarters3411]

Not really. It is right in the middle, considering what the italians usually do with high end pens. Of course, a simple Montblanc 149 or a tamenuri burgundy japanese pen beats this one in terms of elegance.

[@shill700]

wrong pronunciation of 'Van Gogh'

[@randerson4124]

That's how we pronounce his name here in 'Merica. Don't like it? Go do a Haka Kiwi.

[@shill700]

@@randerson4124 it sounds stupid to those who know better

[@richardnathandaniels2534]

Van Gogh would be absolutely appalled by this pain. He never had the money to afford such a thing and he would have been horrified to see this exist. I love fountain pens and i have learned a ton from you channel but Van Gogh would have hated this.

[@quarlmephystodot2201]

scam

[@bbaranow1]

why don't you do something better like giving to St Jude....who gives a hoot about an overpriced pen
