I'm pretty familiar with Brooks' resins and it's difficult to tell Black Cherry Koi from Arabian Nights. I recently picked up a pen from Jonathan's table; at the Atlanta Pen Show; and asked if it was Black Cherry Koi and Jonathan said it was Arabian Nights, so I think that's what you have. Beautiful pen anyway. A Silver Burl pen is on my wishlist. They stand out from any other bespoke pens. I wasn't familiar with Onoto Pens before. The work that went into that is amazing. Now I've been to their online site; looking. They have some outstanding pens.
Thanks for the insight with the resins, I had come to the same conclusion after looking up a few examples. I adore Onoto pens, I would have many more if I had a sack of cash 😂
They are certainly not cheap and I wouldn't recommend anyone spending more than they are comfortable with. If, however, it's within your means, I doubt you'd be disappointed
To paraphrase Spinal Tap - "Yeah, they're 1 bigger" As it turns out, no, they're not. I just stuck my callipers on one, and it is 6mm wide as it joints the unit
Never heard of Onoto until now in your video. They seem very nice...
Beautiful pens! Love the Silverburl
Thanks! I'm pretty in love with the Silvrrburl myself. Great workmanship!
The Onoto is beautiful. Very much enjoying your vids Dan
Thank you!

Silverburl are also fantastic, made by a lovely guy too
Many thanks for the run-through.
I keep looking at Onoto (I don't have one) but end up not getting one. I am not sure I could justify the expense.

Are the #7 nibs actually bigger than a #6 nib?
