Product Description
Based in Chicago, Allegory Handcrafted Goods is a small company dedicated to making products from smart-sourced, sustainable materials. This handsome pen is made from bog oak, a material that’s been preserved in anaerobic conditions underneath peat bogs since the dawn of the last ice age more than 5,000 years ago Read More
jffroeseI agree! I got one on the last drop and am so happy with it that I'm getting another to give as a gift. I wasn't sure I'd like the feel of it — the shape of the pen gave me pause — but it turned out to be well balanced and the nib was very smooth and, while I wouldn't characterize it as wet, it does keep the ink flowing nicely.
Not that I'm falling over myself to buy this one, but aside from sheer bloody-mindedness on the part of the vendor, is there a reason for the lack of international shipping? I get that it can be an expensive exercise, but surely the option should be there except in situations where customs would actually prevent the item from entering the country (which, with a pen, they'd be highly unlikely to).
RFeiertagI am also waiting for the shipping information. Hopefully it will be shipping out in these couple days. The drop description stated the estimated ship date is July 25, which is today.
The description says that "For an additional ($25), you'll have the option to add an extra nib in extra-fine, fine, broad, 1.1, or 1.4 italic sizes," but the options seems to indicate that we can merely choose a different nib size for the extra fee. If we choose a non-medium nib, are we getting two nibs or one?
Thanks!
Ruth
RFeiertagHi Ruth,
Yes, if you choose a nib other than Medium, you will get that nib size as well as the Medium nib size (so two nibs total). Hope this helps!
Ruth, thanks for the info. It's good to know that there is a replacement option available in the market. And I also check Allegory's website, they do sell the piston-filler, and it's the same as what I had received. I like to use piston-filler over the cartridge. I enjoy using this pen a lot. I will drop another one if the drop is available. Take care!
rlausaI also prefer converters to cartridges. The Lanxivi wasn't ideal. It's good to know that the converter on the site is the same as the one that came with the pen. I think I'll a couple so that I have a spare!
