In this video, I was able to snag a Skogsy pen that was available between the San Francisco Pen Show and when he listed remaining stock on his website. I have wanted to add a micarta pen to my collection, and this was a perfect fit. I picked up a reddish orange canvas pen in the 14mm model. This is a larger diameter pen which I tend to prefer, so this ended up being a perfect match for my writing and the way I prefer to hold my pens.

The craftsmanship of this pen is second to none, and when paired with the EF nib with custom cactus engraving and the single pen Rickshaw sleeve, this was just a win all around. I paired this pen with some Akkerman Dutch Masters Vermeer ink, and it is a great combination.

I show a writing sample on some iroful paper and I can say, the nib came perfectly tuned from the start. I look forward to getting to sit down and use this for some extended writing as soon as I am able.

Today’s unboxing features the Franklin-Christoph Model 3M in the mesmerizing Antique Glass finish—an absolute stunner for any collection! But the real magic? This pen is equipped with a Nagahara Needlepoint grind, delivering an ultra-fine writing experience that’s legendary among fountain pen enthusiasts.

This is another video in prep of trying to compile as many nibs as possible for the remake of my Ultimate EF Nib guide. The Nagahara is one that is a requirement for that video, so I am glad to finally own one. I show this pen alongside both a Platinum 3776 UEF and a Pilot 912 with a PO or posting nib to show line comparisons to those nibs which are known to be some of the finest production nibs on the market. I do a writing sample on Tomoe River 52gsm using some DeAtramentis Document Black ink.

Here is a link to the pen on the Franklin-Cristoph website.
