ēnsso XS Pocket Copper Fountain Pen - Only 200 Available! (Sponsor)

The ēnsso XS Pocket Fountain Pen is a twelve-sided compact pen designed to extend into a full-size pen when capped. Introduced in 2018 by ēnsso, it has become their best selling and most loved pen. The standard model is available in black aluminum, but each year ēnsso releases a limited edition version in a different metal. The brass and titanium pens have proven to be popular because of the added weight and material properties.

A new edition of only 200 pens in Copper has just been announced and can be reserved for a September 2020 delivery. It measures 95 mm when capped and 130 mm when posted. It has a diameter of 10.3 mm and weights 29 g, and includes a #5 black steel nib made by Bock in Germany. The XS features O-rings as the cap’s locking mechanism, which allows for a fast uncapping and capping. It is priced at $69 and comes with 2 spare O-rings, black ink cartridge, and box.

With a low quantity run and an attractive price point, the XS Pocket Fountain Pen in Copper is sure to go quickly.

Introducing Kona Cherry, From Kanilea Pen Co. (Sponsor)

On a daily basis, I’m not sure there is anything I love more than fountain pens and coffee. A combination of those two things? Well, that’s right up my alley, and that’s what Kanilea Pen Co. has created with their recently launched Kona Cherry Fountain Pen. From Kanilea Pen Co.:

“Sunny mornings on the slopes of Hualalai and Mauna Loa give way to cooler, misty afternoons. Rich, volcanic soil nurtures the coffee planted there, and only the reddest and ripest cherry is handpicked for roasting.

Cherry; red, ripe coffee beans.”

If that’s not a perfect description of this bright, swirling, translucent pen barrel, then I don’t know what is.

The Kona Cherry is available in five classic Kanilea barrel shapes with your choice of sterling silver, 14K gold-plated sterling silver, or rose gold cap medallion, and options for a steel or 18K gold nib.

Starting at $395, head over to Kanilea Pen Co. to see their full product lineup, and Choose Your Aloha.

Kickstarter Exclusive: XS Titanium Pocket Fountain Pen - 3 days left! (Sponsor)

The XS Titanium Pocket Fountain Pen pen designed by ēnsso is one of the smallest fountain pens on the market. It is ideal for everyday carry without compromising comfort and writing experience. Previously offered in aluminum and brass it is now released in titanium as a Kickstarter exclusive.

For this 2.0 version, ēnsso re-engineered its components, adjusted dimensions, and developed high-resistance gaskets and a new material finish. The pen is entirely machined from grade-5 titanium that offers an excellent combination of high strength and toughness. It is finished using fine bead blasting to achieve a smooth matte texture. At only 95 mm / 3.75” when capped, it is very compact, but transforms into a regular-sized pen when posted. The fast-opening and fast-closing actions rely on high-performance gaskets specifically designed and manufactured for this pen. The twelve-sided XS pen comes equipped with a #5 German-made Bock nib either in polished stainless steel or titanium. It also includes a detachable stainless steel clip.

This is an exclusive Kickstarter product that will not be offered outside the platform. Production is limited to 500 pieces and offered at $59, which represents a 50% - 70% discount to other titanium pens in the market. The last day to pre-order the pen on Kickstarter is Thursday, March 26 at 9:00 AM PDT.
