HisNibs.com update -- New ink, new pens and a behemoth pen stand
October 25th, 2009
Greetings,
We have lots of new items in this update, as
well as those that have been re-stocked.
First up is the Black Pearl, Monteverde's
newest addition to the Invincia line (and
it's even less expensive).
The Gold Dragon pen from Chinese manufacturer
Namixin is also new (the red has already sold out
as I post this...but I'm taking orders for the next
shipment!).
New from Private Reserve we have Cosmic Blue
as well as the first of the Invincible
line...Aqua Blue. In addition, their
cartridge refilling kit is now available
separately from the ink mixing kit.
The Black Onyx 12-pen stand is now
back-in-stock...and it's joined by the new --
and even
larger capacity -- Federation 16-pen stand!
Restocked pens include the best-selling Pilot
78G (all but three colors of the 'BB' nib) and the
Monteverde Mauna Kea fountain pen.
Join us on our Facebook fan page!

pencils again.

Monteverde Invincia Black Pearl
The newest addition to the longstanding
Invincia line is the Black Pearl. Unlike the
other models, which are made with carbon
fiber, the new Black Pearl has
lacquer-over-brass construction. This allows
us to offer the same great pen at a slightly
reduced price. Another change is that unlike
the slip cap on the earlier Invincia models,
the Black Pearl has a screw-on cap, which
some have requested.
As of 2009, all Invincia pens are now
available with your choice of fine, medium or
broad nib.

Namixin Gold Dragon
Here we have another pen that in a pinch can
double as a bludgeon and self-defense weapon.
Measuring 6-7/8" capped and 5-7/8" with cap
held aside (you wouldn't want to post this
pen, even if the design made it possible!),
the pen uncapped is nonetheless quite
comfortable and not too heavy to use for
extended writing sessions, even with its
overlay. This comfort is aided by the
normal-sized, tapered gripping section.
(the red has already sold out
as I post this...but I'm taking orders for the next
shipment!)

Cosmic Cobalt is a Private Reserve Special

blue bottle.

Private Reserve Invincible Aqua Blue
Also bottled in the 75 ml cobalt blue bottle
is the first of Private Reserve's Invincible
inks -- Aqua Blue.
This beautiful blue ink has been thoroughly
tested and is found to be light-fast and
quick drying, with no feathering.
Created with stable dyes and formulas,
Invincible Aqua Blue ink resists water,
bleach and other chemicals, but is easily
cleaned from pens, nibs and converters --
with no residue.

Restocked: Pilot 78G
"Norm, I have been trying out my new Pilot
for the last 2 weeks and dubbed it my Ever
ready. Unlike my much more expensive Parker
75, the Pilot lays down a nice line of ink
every time I take off its cap---no coaxing,
no shaking, no licking the tip to get it
started."

Restocked: Mountains of the World: Mauna Kea
No. 2 of the series...The beauty, color and
majesty of the World's most immortal
mountains are sculpted by Monteverde
designers into treasured writing instruments.
The Monteverde Mauna Kea is Monteverde's
Second Edition in the monumental Mountains of
the World collection.
The fountain pen's steel nib is an open,
spear-shaped design, in a medium. The
gorgeous resin is designed to recall the
ancient lava flows of the volcano, and each
pen is different in appearance. The
chrome-over-brass clips, rings and end caps
provide a lovely visual balance to the amber,
gray and black of the overall pen.
