His Nibs.com update -- Chinese calligraphy and DUKE ink

Hello all!

A large restocking order arrived yesterday of DUKE and Uranus pens,
many of which have been out-of-stock for awhile (including the Uranus
Chinese calligraphy brush pen). I've also gotten in a stock of the specially
formulated ink for the brush pen (it's both a calligraphy brush and a
rollerball), as well as DUKE ink.

DUKE ink is very similar to the Doctor ink from Hero which I carried years
ago, and for those of you who've been 'with' me over the years, you'll remember
I had to stop carrying it due to the unsolvable leakage problem when shipping
from Shanghai. Well, as I don't import this ink directly, leakage isn't my problem
anymore! Like the Doctor ink, DUKE ink is available in a wide assortment of
colors -- as long as it's black or blue/black Smiling.

The black is a rich, saturated black, and the blue/black tends toward the black
end of the spectrum, in the same ballpark as Private Reserve Midnight Blues.
The 80 ml bottles (compared to 50 ml for Private Reserve) -- which are very
attractive with a blue, rubberized lower covering -- are $9.00 each.

Speaking of the Uranus '2018' multifunction brush pen, I believe I've
reached everyone on the waiting list for their pen, but if not, please
contact me.
