Congratulations go to @djryandelap for winning the Nahvalur Original + in Rainbow Wrasse! Please contact me within 48 hrs by emailing me your full name and address at inkquiringminds@gmail.com so I may send you your prize! Thank you to everyone who entered the draw!
Other than the pens, I think my favorite thing about your videos are probably the jams in the intro. This Nahvalur is a gorgeous vac-filler. Shine on, sir. You're a gem in this community. Congrats on the subs.
Congratulations Doug. You have earned this milestone through hard work that has consistently produced outstanding , informative results. I loved that intro with that cool guitar! As for the pen, what can I say? It is a winner. Beautiful, smooth writer with a great finish. 👍
It’s been rough going here as my Hubby of almost 50 years is fighting cancer, not much to smile about lately but your show and this sparkle pen has me smiling. It’s a beautiful pen!
Thanks for the review Doug. It certainly is a nice looking pen. A good pen for writing long letters. It was good of Gold Spot Pens to send you the pen for review. Thank you again.
Congratulations on 17K subscribers. It's a testament to the great content you provide for the fountain pen computer! this is definitely a "Look at Me!" pen. 🙂
Congrats on 17,000. We do love your perspective, your character, and your sense of humor, and even your guitar playing! Keep on Keeping on. Thanks for the GAW (and thanks to the gentleman who donated the pen). Thanks for all the fish.
Congrats! Well deserved. You're one of only 3 or 4 pen channels I watch. You've helped me to learn what's great about fountain pens & what to look for. I have the iris so I can see how a little more bling could fit in my life!
Congratulations, Doug, your videos have inspired me to tackle pen restoration, and I have learned more from your mishaps and my own. I acquired a Parker Vacmatic in pear grey and messed up by using too much heat to remove the pump using my Inky Nib vac extractor. So I used the nib from that pen to restore a Parker Duovac Speedline in black which had a broken nib. I look forward to every Sunday's Pen Restoration.
Congratulations on having 17,000 subscribers Doug! I appreciate the features of the Narwhal pens. I'm not much on bling, but then again, I do have “sparkles” in my PenBBs Galaxy and Opus 88 Sapphire.
Congratulations on 17,000 subscribers 🎉 I’ve never tried a vac filler before but I am a sucker for rainbow accents (and rainbows in general) 🌈 what a beauty this one is!
Congrats on 17,000 and thanks for the giveaway! What a gorgeous pen. I usually like plain demonstrator pens, but I think this has just the right amount of sparkle. Good luck to everyone
This pen is absolutely magnificent! Congratulations for your 17k followers! I guess you deserve way more… I found your UA-cam channel last week, and I really appreciate it! From France 🇫🇷!
I haven't used a fountain pen in yrs! After seeing this cid, I'm gonna have to dig my out, clean them up and start creating again. Congrats on 17,000!!!!
Gorgeous pen, and generous prize! and I gotta say, you scored some serious cool dude points, for the Monty Python fish reference! Have a great weekend (to everyone)!
Congrats on being a famous member of the community (17 k followers! Can't say you're anonymous anymore :P) I've always enjoyed bling on my pens, to the point of adding shiny/sparkly washi tape to my Pilot Kakuno and Mont Marte fountain pens to add the bling. Why I like it is harder to explain. It's like trying to express why you have a certain favourite colour or favourite food. The sparkliness gives a child-like quality that always makes me smile. Fountain pens make me smile. Both together is a joy. You can see why my favourite ink property is shimmer, right? Always enjoy your reviews. I look forward to your next milestone. Perhaps a custom pen like Figboot? (one day?)
That’s a great tip for getting a full fill on the vac fillers. Will need to try that out! Pretty pen with the sparkles. Would look great next to my TWSBI 580 Iris. . .
As usual a great review of a really lovely pen. I have to admit as soon as I saw the pen the words Kon-peki popped into my head, I'm sure it will look great filled with that ink.
I wish there was an ink, that changes its colour depending on the angle you look at the sheet of paper. The cameleon. Like the cameleon paint on cars, that have been optically tuned. Oh, Doug, what a great achievement. Keep up! 👍
Congrats on 17K subscribers. I lost my Nahvalur Original Plus - Yellow with stub nib. Loved that pen. Put a pause on my pen collecting! Meantime, you're killing me with the Monte Python snips! You definitely have my favorite kind of twisted personality.
Thank you Doug for this video, it was very informative as are all your videos. I was toying with the idea of buying this pen but ultimately decided to buy the Galen Leather collaboration pen which is a piston filler and also not quite as blingy. Great choice of ink, Jack Frost was the first ink that I bought for my husband and it looked good in the pen too. Keeping my fingers crossed that I will be successful in the draw!
This is me leaving a comment… it’s also me telling you Doug that you’ve inspired me to start restoring pens, just about finished restoring a super grimey waterman 52 1/2v I got from ebay
How does one arrive at 17K subscribers?, by being the most interesting, funny, entertaining, informative, and thorough fountain pen reviewer in the community. Congrats, Doug! I got my Rainbow Wrasse earlier this week and then ordered the Key West (also from Nahvalur) in the same finish.
I love the look of this pen, I am a complete fan of the Rainbow Wrasse fish which is a little piece of tropical lightening in the sea if your lucky enough to spot one ;O)
Congrats on the 17k milestone, onward and upward! Glad you went for the Nahvalur instead of the Kaweco to give away. Why do I like bling? It rhymes with o-ring. Also thought: wrasse + asvine = Wrassvine 😂
Beautiful pen. Congrats on reaching 17000 subscribers! You deserve it. Thank you for the lesson on how to disassemble it, it's good to know that it's possible.
What a lovely pen! The Jack Frost is such a great ink, and matches the pen so well! This is actually the first blingy pen I’ve seen that has caught my eye- I found the shape of the TWSBI Iris uncomfortable and the Benu brand to be too much. The color of the clip is what really drew my eye. Congratulations on reaching 17k subscribers, that’s wonderful and I hope more people discover your channel. I love the opening music- “Over the Hills and Far Away” is such a banger- Houses of the Holy is a perennial favorite in my house. I like playing it while we drive through the mountains of the Pacific Northwest.
You must be feeling 17 again Doug with 17K followers. Congratulations, 15K has gone swiftly and now 17 K, rocky rock "The Guitar Man". 🎉🎉 Bling is not my thing but the blue original plus looks handsome. Nice piston filler and best bit is that it can be disassembled and reassembled, as piston fillers can be a pain for maintenance.
Congrats on 17k! Stumbled across your channel not long ago and like how informative your videos are. I didn't think much about Nahvalur until I saw their new Pride pen. (It's in the style of your exclusive one.) Very tempted to buy it because it's sparkly without beeing so noisy. (It takes cartridges though and I like build-in filling systems better so I'm a bit indecisive.) The ink looks stunning too! On the next-buy list it goes.🤫
Terrific review of a beautiful pen! I've been eyeing this since it was released; there is definitely a Rainbow Wrasse in my future! I agree, that's a perfect ink pairing.
Congratulations on the subscriber milestone! It’s been so great watching your channel get bigger and offer such great content. Excellent ink choice for the pen: Those Diamond winter sheening inks are my favorite; the Holly (green/red sheen) is one of my go-to inks for Christmas cards!

Congratulations on your following! My friend Clare recommended your videos and I’ve learned so much from watching you. I have always loved sparkly bling. The more the better. If I could walk around with glitter in my hair all day I would. Keep the great videos coming!
Happy 17,000th!! May you continue to go from strength to strength. As coincidence would have it, the narwhal is our family mascot. Go figure! Thanks for everything you do, Doug!

Absolutely gorgeous finish for this pen. Navahlur has consistently come up with beautiful design.
I agree 100%, @obituariopuertorriqueno4283!

I appreciate that!
It’s been rough going here as my Hubby of almost 50 years is fighting cancer, not much to smile about lately but your show and this sparkle pen has me smiling. It’s a beautiful pen!
My thoughts are with you. Stay strong and keep smiling.
So sorry to hear that! Stay strong.
Thanks for the review Doug. It certainly is a nice looking pen. A good pen for writing long letters.
It was good of Gold Spot Pens to send you the pen for review.
Thank you again.
You bet
Congratulations on 17K subscribers. It's a testament to the great content you provide for the fountain pen computer! this is definitely a "Look at Me!" pen. 🙂

It's lovely to see your Best Beloved in the background. Thank you for your very informative videos.

Thanks for sharing, @krumbee!
I love twirling shiny pens around and seeing the colors or sparkles! Narhwal pens show just how good Chinese pen manufacturing can be.
I agree 100%, @totallylegit2068!

Thank you, @JoeyDeSnake!
This pen looks great with that ink in it. Congrats on 17 thousand.

Thank you so much, @johntoledo4438!
BLING! I'm not usually a bling kinda person. But the ink you chose works very well in this pen! Congratulations on 17k!
Thank you, @year2525!
I wish there was an ink, that changes its colour depending on the angle you look at the sheet of paper. The cameleon. Like the cameleon paint on cars, that have been optically tuned.

Nice addition from nahvalur
I agree 100%, @klair009!
Congrats on the 17k milestone, onward and upward! Glad you went for the Nahvalur instead of the Kaweco to give away. Why do I like bling? It rhymes with o-ring. Also thought: wrasse + asvine = Wrassvine 😂
Thank you @willemgroenewegen5934. That is much appreciated!
Congratulations with the 17.000 subscribers. The Nahvalur pens are very interesting and have some beautifull finishes, like the one on this pen.
Thank you so much!
I have two narwhals and they are absolutely fantastic. Congratulations on reaching the 17,000 subscriber milestone!
Thanks, @stefanheeren4519!
Beautiful pen. Congrats on reaching 17000 subscribers! You deserve it. Thank you for the lesson on how to disassemble it, it's good to know that it's possible.
Thanks, @rv6847!
What a lovely pen! The Jack Frost is such a great ink, and matches the pen so well! This is actually the first blingy pen I’ve seen that has caught my eye- I found the shape of the TWSBI Iris uncomfortable and the Benu brand to be too much. The color of the clip is what really drew my eye. Congratulations on reaching 17k subscribers, that’s wonderful and I hope more people discover your channel. I love the opening music- “Over the Hills and Far Away” is such a banger- Houses of the Holy is a perennial favorite in my house. I like playing it while we drive through the mountains of the Pacific Northwest.
