The DWRDNET Stationery Feed 0214 With Jonathon Brooks

In episode 14, I get to welcome Jonathon Brooks of Carolina Pen Company to talk about how he has become one of the most well known names when it comes to pen materials in addition to the pens that he makes as part of the Carolina Pen Company. We talk about how he got started, and the path that followed in terms of teaching himself to make pens which quickly led to pouring his own blanks, and things just kept growing over time.

Jonathon shows a variety of pens made from his materials from brands such as Franklin-Cristoph, Leonardo, Delta and more. Jonathan talks about how he stumbled on his unique way of displaying his pens at shows, as well as getting into offering laser engraved nibs on his pens, as well as producing them for other makers as well.

Testing the Asvine P100 for the First Time

I saw that Asvine had released another pen model, so I felt like I needed to pick one up to give it a try. Enter the Asvine P100 in the brushed titanium finish. This piston filler has a gold tone number 8 nib in Extra Fine, and a great brushed finish. The nib has a smooth flow on the Crena Lightning paper that I tested it on with Rohrer and Klinger Konigsblau. This seems like it will be a great pen to give someone, and I can see this becoming a pen in the mid price range that many people will want to add to their collection.
