Thanks for this review. I really enjoy seeing what "smaller" companies are doing and the creativity behind the products.

I like the concept of that double nib pen. I also have been thinking about buying the Photon Gluon ink and I think you just encouraged me to go for it. Thank you for taking the time to do these reviews. Have fun at the pen show!

Both pens are beautiful!!! The Carolina Pen Company is making such great designs!! Your choice of name for the two-nib pen is great, David. I also loved the Gluon Colorverse ink. Thank you!

I had a chance to chat with Jonathan at the Chicago Pen Show. Great guy. I look forward to your interview. His blanks are incredible. I have a Franklin Christoph that I found out later was one of his blanks. I'm admittedly not a fan of the dual nib idea but I certainly appreciate that some are. His pens were really top notch, both design and material as well as construction.

Nice pens. I like the innovative approach to the double ended "Maul" pen.

I love his acrylic work. Had no idea he did the blanks for Kanilea Pen Co!

David iv'e always wanted to own an Urushi lacquered pen but they are premium pens with premium prices.But hopefully i will own one of these Rolls Royce's of the fountain pen world. The two you are reviewing are fine examples of these amazing pens. Thank you as always for another awesome review.

Would it be possible to add a quick statement to your reviews as to the number of turns to uncap each pen? :)

[darrenleonhardt]

Great review! I've been looking into Jonathan Brooks a fair bit recently and this review just makes me want to get one even more than I already wanted to.

i wonder if i can get a similar look with nail polish,

[alistairbarrow]

Do you find the 1.1 harder to write with than a Medium? my only experience with bigger than a Medium is my Visconti Broad Pd, its so wet you can't really use it, so it will get tuned, but it does discourage me from getting more wider nibs

David, I thought the Triangle pen show was in June. Has the date changed?

[AnzanHoshinRoshi]

Thank you, David. I hope that the interview happens.

Enjoy the Triangle Pen Show! I had hoped to make it (live ~ 4 hours away) but family obligations needs must put a kibosh on that. I write pretty small and often on cheap paper so I've mostly used F and EF -- and even have one UEF on a Platinum 3776. The UEF probably comes closest to "scratchy". It's not at all bad but F and even EF are certainly smoother.

[wayneclarkson]

David are the pen sleeves available separately for retail or do they just come with the pens. Thanks again.

$650 for light coat of urushi seems way overpriced. I have two Nakaya urushi pens. The thick, wet look of the urushi is amazing to say the least. I paid $650 each for my two Nakayas.
Also, some cons of the pen like your normal reviews would have been great. Thanks for sharing.

[AnInkGuy]

Does the pen leak during transport since one nib is always facing down?

Smu-rugg'd Gruin from Rora and Kling(o)n-er ;-)

Clipless pens is something I don't get.
