Hi everyone -- This poll has collected a lot of votes, mostly for Nock models. We have been in touch and are working to make these available, stay tuned for updates as we have them and thanks for participating in the poll!

JonasHeinemanAny updates on availability? Yes? Maybe? No? Possibly next month? Possibly next year? Possibly never?
This extremely popular poll was recently featured in the "Discover" section for the writing community - thus the questions from me months after the poll was started.
Any reply from those in the know at Massdrop would be much appreciated. Even if it, "As 'xx' months ago, they said get back to us in 'yy' months.
Thanks.
Cheers.

GonzoTGreatHi @GonzoTGreat,
The most popular options by far in this poll are the Nock cases, which I'm still working on. Last year around the time of the DC Pen Show they were uncertain that they could handle the predictably large number that the Massdrop Writing community would need, but IIRC they were working on plans to increase their production in the near future.
I'm still in touch with Nock, and I hope to be able to work something out soon, but in the interest of full disclosure there are no definitive plans for the upcoming months.
In the meantime, however, I'm working with another vendor right now to create a custom pen case that uses similar cloth materials. This will be a project that we'll need input from Writing members on, so once we get going there will be an email sent out to Writing subscribers with details. I'm hoping that this happens within the next month or two. :)
I hope this helps, and as usual, stay tuned.

LizThanks, Liz!
Yes, this definitely helps. It helps to know this is still something you are following and attempted to put together. As for an alternative product, the Japanese rolls look snazzy and are popular when offered. Obviously they are much more expensive than Nock.
I'd be surprised if you'd be able to get an alternative, economical roll as a "Nock off" (I'm so sorry, it was too easy and I couldn't resist.)
But the mere fact you're in contact and working with Nock is hopeful. I'm optimistic that production increase will be easier to manifest than creating the product from whole cloth (or Nylon as the case may be).
Anyway, thanks for your attention to this and your speedy response to my questions!
Cheers.
