Have some deadlines coming up before winter break and so my replies have been very inconsistent and I rarely use the PM settings here and so was trying to figure out how to reply to you :p ! Thanks again for all of the amaizng information !!
Before I start, just want to thank Cpt for inviting me to host WristScan this weekend. Although I have received multiple invitations prior, this was the first time I accepted and could put a bit of time and effort into hosting π So we discussed possible t...
Youβve picked the kind of cross-over I really like. My wife suggested to put my collection of golf clubs next to the watches (she thinks Iβm buying new clubs too often but thatβs not true, I only buy them when the new models are out) So Iβll think if some...
No exaggeration, I think I have owned over 100 sets of clubs in my lifetime but that includes many from sponsors, OEM manufacturers, and friends in the golf industry that were custom made to my specs and gifted to me since I was one of the testers for the...
Don't know about serious but certainly at a competitive and collegiate level π The reason I have so many clubs is due to be a tester, basically a guinea pig, for a few golf labs and custom build shops. I was one of 5 people who would test all the new equi...
As for nibs, I have really never liked any standard nib besides maybe a couple Sailor nibs. All of the pens I own have had their nibs custom ground by a nibmeister during the ordering process or after I received them if they were no longer available. I fi...
... here which will make for a very interesting and enjoyable edition of WS. IΒ΄m also delighted to know that we share another passion: Fountain Pens! You show a couple of beautiful examples here: A MB 90th Anniversary Edition 149 Model and a superb Danitr...
As for you sharing a passion for fountain pens, that is super cool. There are several of us who share this passion, Mike is another π. Really amazing to know that you have been using fountain pens for over 50 years. I grew up in the US so sadly fountain p...
It is very interesting to read about your passion for fine fountain pens. IΒ΄m also very fond of Japanese pens, which offer their beautiful artful pens and interesting nibs to experiment with. Absolutely agree with your thoughts on these superb pens. Handw...
As for our shared interest in fountain pens, I find it great to know that I am not the only crazy one π Looking forward to seeing what you post π
If you mean the gold Maki-E, then it is a Danitrio Genkai custom LE of 8 pieces. It is considered an oversized pen, equivalent to a Namiki Emperor in size. It's a big boy π. You can just Google Danitrio and go to their website to have a look if you are cu...

I could have sworn it looks mayan, It has a very Mayan feel to it! Thanks so much for those pics, really appreciate it and that is a clunker but I am sure worth the extra heft! I would love to see those vids and I will def check the brand out! I am not su...
Maki-E is a special technique where a master artisan paints on the gold in a paint with tiny brushes. Chinkin is an entirely different technique where the base is a lacquer, patterns are cut in relief into the lacquer, and then gold foil is rubbed into th...
I sent a PM with links explaining the process along with videos so he could see how beautiful it is being produced and the extensive time it takes to do so π
