Wow, I thought FWI had collabed with Esterbrook for the Niblet... apparently Esterbrook just stole the Pencket design. I am disappointed.

✨️Bonecrusher Studios "Velma" Fountain Pen

I wasn't after a Bonecrusher Studios pen until I saw them in person at the DC Pen Show - they have some really fun colorways and this model is very comfortable to hold and use.

I got it in a double broad, which I then had Matthew Chen grind to a kodachi ✨️

If any of y'all get the opportunity to have Matthew Chen's (Matthew's Nibworks) kodachi grind on one of your fountain pens - do it!

It's so great I had him put it on three of my pens 🫣😂

He also put a nice cursive italic on my Gravitas Monster 🙌🏻

New pen day - FWI "Pencket" pocket fountain pen in Amber with a medium nib.

Esterbrook Estie for size comparison.

I picked this up from Endless for $37. For that price, it's really nice!
Im not sure I'd spend as much as Esterbrook is asking for their version, though.

A fountain pen rests on a page that is covered in writing. The writing was made by the pen in the photo. The pen is a deep brown/maroon and so is the writing.

My first Hongdian A9 was burping ink like crazy - whole converters worth gone in minutes 💀
The replacement arrived yesterday and thankfully it has no issues!
