July PAD - 4 pens

[Blackhorse]

Saw a chrisrap52 thing on YouTube about a new PenBBS Model, the 352.  He showed one in what’s called “cedar”...pattern #1.  I ordered that and after looking a bit also found two of my favorites the 308 & 309.  Then I stumbled on a limited edition Winter 309 in the “Snowflake” pattern.  This one has the snowflake etched ‘round - medium’ nib! These ranged from $22 to $25.  Very high quality items for that kind of money...on an even par with TWSBI.

6 pics in no particular order.

Very nice looking lineup. Does PenBBS offer these in stub nibs?

Nope. Being an Asian market driven company they offer items for the Asian consumer...almost 100% fine or extra fine nibs. But they use standard sizes and the nibs are easily swapped out. Some vendors offer Asian made nibs in a variety of sizes...but usually not a stub. For calligraphy they typically use a fude (foo-day) nib...one that is severely bent up at the tip.

Thanks for the info, sir.
