For a long time I didn’t see the appeal of the capless pens from Pilot (also know as Vanishing Points). But I wrote about my changed opinion when I purchased the Raden Stripe Vanishing Point for my 40th birthday gift to myself. So when Appelboom offered us the chance to review the Pilot Capless LS…

Fountain Pen Review: Kaweco Supra Fire Blue
The Kaweco Supra is a fascinating pen – a pen that not only transforms from a pocket-sized pen to a full sized pen, but can also be arranged to fit nearly every hand size. I received a Kaweco Supra Fireblue on loan a few weeks ago. Thank you to Appelboom for lending it to Well-Appointed…
Fountain Pen Review: Meister by Point Slim Liner Fountain Pen (Black Body Medium Nib)

Many of these brands produce high end (read: pretty expensive) fountain pens…
Fountain Pen Review: Tibaldi Bononia Martini Olive (M Nib)
Tibaldi is a name spoken in reverence among the fountain pen community. The original Tibaldi brand existed from 1916 to 1965 and were known for beautiful resin material that glowed with its depth of color. Now, having relocated to Bassano del Grappa and come under the direction of the Aquina Family that also owns the…
