Pilot Falcon Elabo SF

have taken for granted and find a new confidence in how you now feel and look at the core stuff. For me, I have been testing all kinds of pens and inks lately. Many cheap, but also many a bit more expansive, some from custom builders - so when I have gone back to brands I knew and loved and re-familiarize me with them, it is with a new found understanding and an understanding. Sometimes, getting a new pen - that is considered to be one of those classic ones can both be fun and sometimes it also makes you wonder, why oh why did I wait this long? The Pilot Falcon Elabo is just such a pen. Loved by many in the fountain pen sphere and also among many artists.

Moonman? MAJOHN? C3 Transparent Resin Fountain Pen, EF

So, the header is what the pen is named, but the roll stopper actually says MOONMAN. So, kid you not, it is a Moonman pen, but since Moonman and Kaweco had a bit of a spat, Kaweco signed the Moonman name so Moonman can't sell their pens under the brand Moonman - at least not in Europe and I guess US? Might even be international. Anyway, I will continue to call this a Moonman pen for the remainder of this review.

Maiora Impronte Posillipo Fountain pen, EF

While I was looking for another finish of the Impronte modell, this was on sale during the Autumn craziness of Fountain Pen Day, Black Week/Friday/Weekend/Cybermonday etc - so I decided that this was a bargain I couldn't resist. Rumors has it that Maiora will "inherit" the Omas brand and the rights to the designs etc. -which makes the brand an interesting one. Having one of the famous persons from Italian brands making the pens sure helps too. If you are interested in more facts however - you need to go searching online. I am not one of those that own Omas or have a personal contact with anyone - I just try the pens out of curiosity.

Schon DSGN Natural Ultem fountain pen, Medium

Now this is a rather special pen. It's a pen whose maker I have followed on Instagram and seen the struggle to make a pen come alive. Machines that breaks down and being open and honest about the journey. In these pandemic times, I have to admit, it was a gripping mini drama playing out. So when Ian of Schon DSGN let us followers know he had cracked it and had a second batch soon to be ready, I decided to sign up and get on the list. I tell you this partly because I want you to know that this is a review, but one where I am heavily influenced by sheer massive goodwill towards the creator. You know, sometimes these things happen. I'm not going to excuse myself, but I still want it out there. The second thing to mention is; what the hell is Ultem?

Namisu N1, stealth black, Fine fountain/rollerball pen

Another fountain pen with rollerball conversion kit pen from NAMISU. Namisu makes very nice pens via Kickstarter and the duo behind the pens deliver well made pens. The nibs are usually well tuned as well. The N1 feels very much like a pen that comes close to the Moonman N1 in so far that the main idea is the same; you have a long cap that you post to get a longer pen. The Kaweco sport works like this as well, but the Namisu N1 uses O-rings and a pull off cap, like the Moonman N1. The pen is larger and made of aluminium making it different from the other two.
