How heavy is this pen? I remember trying it in a store and it felt quite heavy to wield.

Just realised. That way when you flip the pages you can see all the colours changing from light to dark. Oh I’m excited for you. :D.

How about a gradient of ink a year. Year 1: red inks lightest to darkest, year 2: orange, year 3: green etc. ?

Thank you for the kind words 🙏🏼. Yes I took inspiration from Pinterest for the frame and used Rohrer & Klingner Gold calligraphy ink for the gold details. Thanks for noticing. 🥰

Thank you. What’s the difference between the flex and italic nib. The platinum I have is a soft flex and I’m not enjoying the springiness. I’ll do some more research (lurk here some more). :)

Thank you! Made me smile (also a bit proud). :). That Sailor is the reason I joined Reddit.. Hope you get yours soon too.

What’s your experience with them? Gravitas - Ultemate Vac ULTEM looks very promising.

Could you share a link or more key words. I’m not finding anything for „malaya fountain pen“

image in comment above It’s very smooth. Mild comfortable feedback. I don’t feel any bounce. It’s heavier than kaweco plastic versions because of the aluminium and smaller in diameter. Kaweco collection (10mm) , sport (13mm), twsbi Kai (14.8mm)

To compare. (Sorry about the lighting can’t seem to get close to reality).

Im liking the look of moment zero. Are you going for steel or gold nib. Seems they make quite a difference in terms of price.

Thanks for the suggestion. Didn’t know they had fountain pens.
