Pens and Things

Kaweco Italic or Calligraphy Nibs - 1.1, 1.5, 1.9, 2.3

Many companies make italic or stub nibs as an option for their pens, including Lamy, TWSBI, Edison, and of course, Kaweco. These "italic" or "calligraphy" nibs are primarily a European writing style, so you may not find them as often on Japanese or Asian pens, except as a music nib.

Rhodia Premium "R" Paper

With Rhodia's 80th Anniversary Celebration and Giveaway going on this week at the shop, I figured it might be nice to see some of Rhodia's greatest hits. Rhodia's Premium paper is some of my favourite paper out there for fountain pen nuts.
