Not sure, I'd imagine so. He does custom work, and all the pens are handmade.

TEsting my new Pelokan M600 medium nib with Diamine Grey ink. In all honesty this colour is not to my liking. But I have to finish the bottle, don't want to chuck it away, which I'm inclined in doing. Bad buy, but only because I don't like it. It looked nice on the website

A little poofier than I prefer
I don't know, man. Life's awfully short to use up a bottle of ink you don't like. Are you talking whole bottle or just a sample? Diamine isn't expensive ink; I'd be okay with accepting it as a cheap tuition payment to the School of Life and tossing it. But if that's too wasteful, you could just give it away.
@tankerjohn I've made the silly mistake to buy an 80ml bottle, not a sample like I've done afterwards, lesson learnt.
You are correct, life is too short to waste it on bad ink and, more to the point, wine
I would give it away gladly but it isn't worth the hassle if I factor in the shipping / postage within the UK, Europe USA out of the question

Here’s my new Traveler’s Company brass. I’m really enjoying my the brass Kaweco Sport, but wanted something a bit more slender as a default edc pen. So far, this one is fitting the bill nicely. Very short when capped, but posts into a an elegant length. The fine nib (the only oem option) performs perfectly. This may find a permanent home in my shirt pocket.
The M600 is now inked with Waterman's Harmonious Green. Another planet and not as sad as grey. TankerJohn opened my eyes, thank you

Wow, that's one way to get a collection started! No shallow end for you, eh?
What a beauty! Does he write as good as he looks?
I also got a new Conklin, the limited edition Mark Twain Crescent Filler in gunmetal with a broad nib. It is the pen at the bottom. The top pen is a Conklin Mark Twain Crescent Filler in blue with a medium nib. The pen in the middle is a Lamy 2000 with a broad nib.

It’s here! It’s here! All the way from Ye Merry Olde England.
I’m in the 2K club! Or is it klub? Can’t wait to ink it up and put nib to page.
