Chatting About My Pens Part 1: The Viscontis

In this new series of videos, I chat about my pens. There will be no writing samples here: if you’re interested in that, please check out my reviews of the individual pens or see my Personal Pens videos.

In this first installment, I talk about my Visconti pens.

Italix Churchman’s Prescriptor Nib Lineup

Mr Peter Ford of MrPen very kindly sent me the complete lineup of 10 nibs he sells for the Churchman’s Prescriptor model.  A very exciting opportunity to demonstrate how each of these nibs write.

Boldric Buffalo Leather Knife Bag Overview and Contents

A kind thank you to Alyssa from Nella Cucina who special ordered this bag for me and made sure I received it within a short time frame.

The Inkcyclopedia

In 2013-2014 I did a series of weekly videos entitled The Inkcyclopedia.  In every installment, I would show off an ink in quite some detail, using several nibs and doing a couple of tests with each ink.

I have decided to make this series of videos available on my own YouTube channel now, so that (new) viewers can watch them there.  Bear in mind that these are older videos, so their quality is not that of more recent videos.

Enjoy, and find an index to all inks covered in the Inkcyclopedia here.
