Wow, look at that shading 👀 Beautiful ink, beautiful writing.

I really enjoy mine - nice paper, fun covers, feeling like part of the cool crowd! - but I'm not sure it's actually worth the expense and hype.... After a couple of years of Hobonichi, I'm switching to Kinbor A6 next year. They're not quite as lovely, but a whole lot cheaper.

It's so disappointing that the paper has changed. I ordered my 2026 kinbor weeks before I realised that the paper had changed, and I only use fountain pens. Luckily the A5 & A6 page per day books are still excellent, so that's what I'm using next year.

You're right, it doesn't feel balanced when posted. I never post full sized pens though, so it doesn't bother me..

Irritating. I've seen quite a few complaints about Nahvalur nibs. I'm crap at nib tuning (and I don't think you should have to fix brand new pens!) so I'm avoiding them. Very pretty designs though....

That is gorgeous! Does it take a Jowo 6 nib? (I have a custom ground one looking for a home, and would ideally like something more affordable than another Esterbrook)

Lovely inks, thank you for sharing.

They would have accepted a return.. but the nib did work, just didn't feel quite 'right' to me so I hesitated and didn't send it back! I've swapped it out (very easy), but will take it to a nib specialist at some point and get it tinkered with.

Yes, it's a small, light pen but it feels good in my (fairly large!) hands. I own too many fountain pens, but reach for this one often!
I did have trouble with the original nib it came with, and have swapped it out entirely now, which was disappointing for an expensive (to me!) pen.

It's a small pen - I don't usually post pens, but I do with this one! Just over 14cm when posted, just under 12 without.

Gah, I still want it 😭

I think it looks lovely and almost pre ordered it! I hadn't even considered that it's skin coloured 😅
I just think it would look neat between my two other M200s...

Beautiful colours, all of my favourites! I'm very glad it's working for you now.
What ink are you going to pair it with?

She's lovely! Not your first Black Robin Pen, I think? They're very beautiful pens.

Crikey, that is beautiful.
