Ensso Bolt-Action Fountain Pen Review
Переглядів 23621 день тому
A look at a Bolt Action Titanium Fountain Pen! A very unique design that occupies a niche no one else (to my knowledge) has created. If you like fidgeting with a bolt-action pen, and you also like fountain pens, you are in for a treat! However, we also look at some potential down-sides of a nib-down carry design.

Leonardo w/ Monac Nib Review
Переглядів 97Місяць тому
We take a look at a donor pen for review, a Leonardo Supernova with an aftermarket Schon Design Monac Nib! Many Leonardo's have gold nibs, this model was an entry level model with a great body for the price, but they compromised with a steel nib. The owner then decked it out with a Monac nib worth almost $400! leonardopen.com/ www.schondsgn.com/ schon_dsgn

That purple pen turned out fantastic! Nice little haul :)
That Shark-Bait flex nib gives some nice flex! Will you compare it to your other flex nibs in another video?
Nice haul, thanks for sharing.
Congrats Rene.
So stoked about the machined pen and ink!!! Love the two tone purple on the pen! Thank you so much!!
That is a great idea.
Thank you for reviewing this pen. I have the clipless version of this pen in the stonewashed titanium. I also bought the titanium nib too. It writes beautifully and feels weighty in the hand. I am puzzled that the larger fountain pen channels haven’t covered it.
Both Neil and Sally are very talented at what they do!
Glad you liked my nib!
Tbh I want a good 20s 30s pen. Art deco is one of my favorite styles
I want toy buy the camp pen zirc without oil but I don’t know if looks like yours very polished I want to look like yours without colors just black polish
I've had a straight zirc soul before, and it is dark and shiny (polished) with no color. If you pause and look at the nose- Cone/ clip on the oil slick, those parts are straight polished zirc, no color for example.
Cool pens.
Gorgeous! Looks hardly used
I just sold it! This was the video for the buyer, but I figured I might as well share the beauty with everyone!
What an amazing specimen. What made you sell it?
@idipbananasintocoffee it was too nice... I was always worried I'd put a scratch on it and lose $100's in value, so I never carried it.
Using fine paper with a seal is a home run. Especially for business
Just found your channel. Definitely subscribed and thumps up
If you're still seeing non-clear water, then you haven't flushed the nib unit enough.
Nice review, thank you 🙂. I've got a 912 with the "2 slit" ebonite (black) feed from Flexible Nib Factory. I can get it to railroad, but only when I'm trying to do so. In 99.9% normal cursive it works very well. I did try the std plastic feed when I first received this 912, and the std feed from Pilot just couldn't help but railroad if pushed very much. Ya, kind of subjective, what's pushing the nib really? One man's roof is another man's floor. My issue is I'd like to purchase a 743 with a FA nib, and maybe get a 3 slit ebonite feed as a gift for a friend. This friend claims to have used calligraphy pens when they were younger, and my thinking is the 743 might hit them where they were with whatever style calligraphy pen they may have used in the past. 912s/742s from Japan run $60.00 or so cheaper then the 743. With the ebonite feed, tack on it's cost. The 743's cost & new feed puts this a bit more. I just am trying to decide for someone who hasn't really been in the fountain pen stream so to speak for years, is the extra cost for the 743 really worth it? I'm pleased with my 912, but I'm no calligrapher, and I only use it for like Birthday Cards, Christmas cards when I want just a tad more creative enhancement that a flexible nib can give (sometimes... depending how much practice I put in prior to trying to spice up a card... ) I want this gift to be something that this wonderful person will use and enjoy. I'm willing to spring for the extra cash, but is it really worth it ? I could get a couple bottles of Pilot's Iroshizuku inks, for the larger nibbed 743... . I also just wonder too if the 3 slit is just too much. I've used some non Pilot flex nibs and depending on how hard and wide you go, you can move a lot of ink through a converter, even a con70. My 912 can use ink pretty fast too. Is the larger nib worth it?
It is my understanding that the patent numbers you were discussing relate to the filling mechanism and the clip (each where the number is printed) not the pen itself. Good vid. Keep at it!
@markbyrum4743 You are correct, those were the patents for the filling system and cap, not the pen itself. Thank you for watching and taking the time to leave a comment.
Do you sell pens and other luxury items for a living?
Got one of these. Beautiful. If it wrote. Should I send it back? Any suggestions? I need to shake it to get it to write
@michaelrowley1970 I would send it back if under warranty.
Yay!!!!!!
Great review of the pen rests. Personally I like warmer detail, I would pic wood all day long.
Just came across your channel. What an adventure with the spilled ink. Welcome to the club.
Absolute pleasure to be part of this!
Show your collection on next video
Very cool
I learnt something here. Nice video
BilletSpin pens are some of the finest machined pens i have ever laid my pen addicted eyes on. It would also be great if you could interview Brian Fellhoelter.
thank you for this particular treasure...
💚💚
Very nice!
Not my sister, my mother, or my wife. Congrats Renee
Beautiful resin, in my mind it resembles Abalone. Also beautiful gesture you giving to the charity of the pen donors choice.
That video took a sad but hilarious unexpected turn
So tiger eye ! I need a roller ball to fidget with love it. The nib a cherry on top :)
Very cool ! Solid pen like the nib change up. Loved the review
What a beauty ! That pen is perfection 🤩 Also please share auction info
How’s the click?
Excellent. Gen 2 mech is even smoother and quieter than gen 1.
I’ve REALLY been wanting to try a Monoc nib. Just can’t square the almost $600 for the nib and pen combo I want. As you said- if I could try one it would be a different story.
100 yer 10o year old nib! thats impressive in my book. J. Herbin makes some really cool inks, I like them a lot.
Very interesting!
Cool looking nib. The Leonardo is a fabulous pen in my opinion.
Is the Monac nib easy to add to the Leonardo ? I believe you have the caramel finish on the Leo.
Yes, the Monac nib is a Jowo 6... the nib itself is the housing, it's one complete unit, but screws in just as any other jowo 6 housing would. Thanks for the clue on the resin name!
Interesting review. But, man, that nib is $$$
Cool
Bold strategy!
Totally forgot to participate in the GAW lol
Great looking pen! Congrats to renee!
Thank you!
How you can get that finished
