Thought this was a pretty decent deal for a modern fountain pen and thought I'd share.
Namisu had a successful Kickstarter campaign last year for the Nexus Minimal Fountain Pen. Kind of reminds me of some of Porsche Design's products, but quite a bit cheaper!
There latest rendition is the Orion, which has some slight improvements over the old design. The cap has less threads and is quicker to remove and is also now postable. Shallower groves on the barrel for a more comfortable grip. It is available through their website for 40 GBP, which is roughly $63. They are currently having a group buy through Massdrop, where it can be had for a discount. The more folks who join in, the cheaper it gets. There is an option to buy it for the initial discount (54.99) once 20 people have joined, or you can commit to only buy it only if it hits the lowest price (44.99) with enough people joining. It's my first time using Massdrop, but I've talked with a few friends who have purchased coffee gear through it and they love it. I figured why not share the love! I'm definitely going to snag one for myself though.
Here's the actual product page:
