it's in my heart. and it has been since i first saw her. and not a day has gone by over the past year that i haven't thought of her. and today, i plan on taking her for a test drive, and if she makes me happy, i'll be putting down cold hard cash. if she doesn't make me happy, i'll spurn her forever - i have my eye on another....
so, i guess the real questions are.....
- does one need a $550+ pen? no, but one wants his precious.....
- $550? Seriously? yup... handmade with loving care. And that's not actually expensive.... a friend of mine bought a Visconti Art Nouveau at $900. The store carries pens up to $3,500 (actually I think they have a couple of $5k-6k pens). I've seen collector pens going at $12,000 USD.
- does a pen like this actually write better? actually, yes.... it's supposed to be an amazing nib. Part of the price of more expensive pens is materials and gold nibs.
- are you fucking crazy? ummmmm........ what was the question again?
And in case you're wondering about the slightly odd looking pen clip.... each side rotates out, creating a little set of legs that turns it into a stand.
i'll let you know how it goes.....
