Just picked up this Faber-Castell fountain pen earlier today, and I have to say that I am really pleased with it considering the fairly low $100 price point. What drew me to it is the design and color of the barrel, they refer to it as 'Sky Blue', althoug...
Yes!

There's this specialty stationary shop in Westwood, near UCLA called Flax - they have a fairly good assortment of writing and other stationary. I went in to spend a few minutes ogling the merchandise, and this pen was the one that literally caught my eye ...

The 'Deep Sea Green' ink is not the one I scribbled the few lines of text above - that was done with the default cartridge that came inside the pen itself. I saw a sample of the ink in a book, and it looked like a beautiful combination of blue and green h...

Faber Castell piaba. An own creation. Not sky blue or turquoise. That is what i see when i see your very affordable good writing fountain pen. Invent a new color, good to see companies and people do that.

I look forward to seeing the green ink too. I have never tried Faber Castell ink, I tend to use Pilot Iroshizuku or Diamine, both have great colour selections. Happy writing! Jon

I'm definitely curious what the ink will show like in practice. The store had a pretty substantial ink selection from a variety of brands as well....
No doubt about that!

Looked it up....

Totally.

I even got a discount since I bought the ink as well ....

That's a particularly good word to describe it with, it was easily one of the most vibrant pens they had on display, and they had quite a few from at least five different brands.... Thanks for looking! Cheers, Filip
