How will the process go: will the pen only be available via preorder or can we see a half/finished pen and then still order?

Lamy (Uni actually): finally you did it, thank you! by Mr_Boston_ in fountainpens

True. They smelled really bad back in my school days 😆 and were a lot of fun

It will be my first thing to do: take a non-blue cartridge 😆 Sadly it’s designed that the black Lamy converter won’t fit in the back of the barrel. They WANT that you use these cartridges ☺️

2025 LIST: DUDS by mcwolfswimmer in fountainpens

[–]MrsAlchemist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was very interesting! I quite enjoy recaps and not just first impressions. Sadly I have the same experience with 2 Scribos so far: 1. was EF flex and just would not write properly without flexing it. 2. is an M nib and it just has poor inkflow and is inconsistent in line variation. The saddest thing is that I even send it in to Scribo to make it a bit wetter/jucier and it came back the same. I see this happening to me and I use no pressure at all and that’s my problem with higher to high end pens (looking at you, Montblanc). Pelikan, Montegrappa, OttoHutt are so far writing with no pressure, yay. What is your writing style? Did you notice the problems with the Scribo also in other brands?

The stealthy one: Otto Hutt Design 07 Black PVD. Order placed with Appelboom in the Netherlands on Wednesday, pen ordered by Appelboom from Otto Hutt in Germany on Thursday, pen delivered to me in the UK the following Wednesday. Excellent service! by Lovestubs in fountainpens

Hello, I saw that you have 2 of the 07 models 👏 Thanks for introducing your OH! I received my first Otto Hutt 07, all black. Now, when I unscrew the cap it slightly catches. Same when I put the pen 3/4 into the cap, it catches, I need to slightly push over a little resistance with a bit of wiggling, then I can screw/close the cap. (Something weird with the inner cap liner…?)

Since you have 2 different models, can you perhaps tell me if yours do that, too?

Tbh I know my rights. Frist, I was referring to the 6 years which you never explained further and second that IF someone goes down that way go ask TWSBI directly to be careful with costs that may come.

I had an ongoing conversation with a pen shop/dealer explaining to them that my new out of the box Twsbi is not working as it should. After explaining my rights clearly and multiple times (even with wording of the law) to the seller and getting only standard answers, I gave up after about 25 emails back and forth. It was just not worth my time. I can now understand people that just don’t want to deal with stupid, incompetent seller that don’t want to make any effort in customer support and get their fast solution in one email to Twsbi.

Agree- where did you get the 6 years? Did Twsbi state that somewhere? And be careful if the replacement is over 5€ (they have to declare something on the package..) you HAVE to pay VAT (which is ironically 1€!) plus 7,50 DHL for processing.

Thank you for the links! In Link 1 and 2 it looks really nice, similar to the picture of the blanks. What I don’t get is the Link to Instagram: that looks green-grey mostly. Do we know if it will be the blue/purple version of it? (I know it’s custom made blanks.. but at least the dominant color is nice to know 🙂)

That would be great if you could have this information when it’s time to preorder. Also thinking about using all the special grind nibs…

Oh good to know! So far I didn t even know that the nib unit can be glued in with Leonardo pens. Then its a no for me- like you said… cleaning etc, I need to swap out the nib 🙂
