Kaweco Sport Coral Guilloche Fountain Pen Exclusive Edition, Now at Fontoplumo (Sponsor)

If there is anyone I trust to deliver on a Kaweco Sport exclusive, it is Fontoplumo. They delivered a perfect edition with their previous Sunrise/Sunset release, and I must say that they outdid themselves in a big way with the launch of the Coral Guilloche edition.

From Fontoplumo, on the design of the pen:

Coral represents the brightness of life, and most remarkably the sea, and the coral reefs that it was named after. The colour is contemporary in all possible manners. It stands out, it is fresh, it is bright, it energises, and additionally, has a softness about it.

Guilloche is a pattern that originated in a decorative technique invented around the 17th century. The pattern is characteristically very precise, intricate and repetitive, and can be used in a large variety of contexts and applications. To the Kaweco Sport Coral Guilloche, the pattern adds a sense of depth, intricacy and craftsmanship, giving this principally modern pen a subtly traditional touch.

The Fontoplumo Kaweco Sport Coral Guilloche Fountain Pen comes in both Gold and Silver trim, and if history dictates, will not be around for long.

The Sunderland Machine Works MK1 is back! (Sponsor)

Brad Sunderland spent the last couple of years upgrading machinery and streamlining the manufacturing process, and is happy to announce that the Sunderland Machine Works MK1 is available once again.

The MK1 has long been a favorite of mine for several reasons. For starters, there are no threads visible on the pen, and yet the cap screws on and off AND posts on the back. The front-end threads are hidden neatly in a slot under the grip section, and screw into the threads inside the cap for secure closing.

When posting, the cap slides deeply on the back end of the barrel, which has a slight taper to accommodate this. The cap is fit with a polymer liner, which not only keeps the posted cap in place, but also prevents metal on metal scratching.

The clip is machined from a block of stainless steel, making it strong and durable. And, the MK1 comes in several cool anodized colors - orange, green, blue, and red - plus standards such as grey, black, and clear anodization.

The Sunderland MK1 fits all Pilot G2 compatible refills - such as my favorite, the Pilot Juice - plus Montblanc’s screw-in refills for their rollerball and fineliner.

Check out all of the options available at Sunderland Machine Works, and pick out your favorite today. My thanks to them for sponsoring The Pen Addict this week.
