About this deal

You get a strong metal pocket clip, a shiny chrome cap band and a barrel which is not covered with text and bar code.

Then, having a Sunday morning free in Surrey, with lovely autumn sunshine, we decided to drive to Box Hill in the Surrey Hills, and walk up to enjoy the view. Alternatively I thought that it may be possible to grind the inside acrylic of the cap, with a Dremel or similar electric tool (if I had one, which I don’t). All performed beautifully on the silky smooth paper with no bleed through and very minimal show through. I felt that this was a bit odd at first given that the rest of the body is clear, but actually I have grown to like it and it looks better in macro! But then a breakthrough came unexpectedly late last night when I realised that the cap finial may be removable.As the nib is Rhodium plated, it is hard to tell where the gold nib ends and the Iridium tipping material begins, but I hope that the nib will hold up well and last me a good long time. Having come through a period of 18 months with very little social interaction, it was a treat to catch up with friends, about a dozen from our London Pen Club, over the course of the day, as well as to chat to the friendly vendors.

The only issue which stood in the way of my total happiness, was that the titanium nib, when seated as deep as it would go into the section, still managed to touch the end of the cap in the final twists of the four-and-a-quarter turns to cap the pen (not for the impatient). There is a darker area in the barrel when the pen is inked although it is not so obvious as to be unsightly.

However I am glad to have kept them all as the steel nibs need only a bit of tuning, perhaps a slight opening of the tine gap and a little smoothing with micromesh pads, which in recent years I have discovered how to do and am now equipped with the necessary tools: a set of micromesh pads of different grades and a set of brass shims of various thicknesses. The report covers working hours and wages, hygiene, health and safety, waste management, child and young labour, labour practices including forced labour, worker representation, disciplinary practices and discrimination. According to the paper insert, it features 80 gsm cream paper, a ribbon page marker, and expandable pocket, a pen loop and an elasticated closure. Sitting down with one pen and one notebook, and one hour of quiet time, is something I find relaxing. Mine was bought in an extreme case of Gear Acquisition Syndrome with the intention of smoothing the rough end of the deliberately broken-off pocket clip on my Pilot Capless.

Sometimes inserting a blade from the breather-hole end and lowering it into the tine gap and giving it a gentle wiggle, is what is needed. I tied this to a pencil, which I then used to suspend the disc through the hole, just below the LED’s. Finally, this past weekend I found myself in just the right frame of mind to attempt some nib adjustments.

The problem I soon found was that it was difficult to avoid reflections of all of these LEDs in the pens. Not only was the paper of good quality but also, the pages could be torn off the pad easily without ripping the paper, unlike some I have used. I found it an ideal pen to use for work, as being reliable and well-behaved, but not too precious and ostentatious. If planning to use a notebook for a multi-year bu-jo, then it is wise to consider how the cover might wear.

It is easy to forget that our subjects need to be well lit, particularly if indoors using available light.The good news) Well there are actually a number of things you can do to help keep your delicious meal nice and warm. Secondly, it is a detailed work packed with facts and figures, names and dates, and inside stories only available from family letters and diaries and the paper mills’ records.
