Dunhill Bulldog Paperweight

I could not resist myself from adding British bulldog by Dunhill to my desk accessories. It is crafted from solid brass and finished in satin matt black lacquer.

Like the other Dunhill bulldog accessories, there is no lack of details. The collar can be rotate.

Caran d'Ache Chromatics Ink

While I find the Caran d'Ache ink color is nice, I never like their ink bottle as they are not practical. Caran d'Ache announced their new Chromatic INKredible colors some few months back, but it was only available very recent.

Montegrappa Genio Creativo Salvador Dali Space Elephant Limited Edition

After a four year break from the Genio Creativo limited edition range, Montegrappa added a new pen to the range, the Salvador Dali Space Elephant Limited Edition.

First there was Visconti Dali Dance of Time I Limited Edition, now Montegrappa launched another Limited Edition using another piece of Salvador Dali work as theme. Is this a coincident or what?

Dani Trio Shakkyo (Noh) Limited Edition

The Stone Bridge (Shakkyo) theme of this Dani Trio maki-e Limited Edition fountain pen is taken from Noh play. It is painted by maki-e artisan Minoru Oohata-san.

Oohata-san uses mostly the taka maki-e method on this piece of maki-e pen. He also uses raden to decorate the costume of the noh character, demon.

OMAS Extra Lucens Limited Edition 2013

The first OMAS Extra Lucens was created by Armando Simoni back in 1936. Omas created yet another beautiful and elegant Extra Lucens fountain pen this year using black/yellow celluloid materials.

Sailor 1911 Sakura Nagare Maki-e Fountain Pen

This new Sailor Sakura Nagare maki-e was model after the Sailor Sakura Special Edition fountain pen that was commission by the Japanese Government to given to the POW during WII, which was posted on my blog back in 2011.

The maki-e artwork is the same. The only diffferent is the model of the pen.

Dani Trio Saiyuki (The Journey to the West) Limited Edition

This Dani Trio Saiyuki (The Journey To The West) Maki-e Limited Edition is not their latest and not maki-e artist Yuji Ookado-san latest maki-e work.

I like this theme as it is very oriental just like the maki-e artwork. However, this is a very expensive piece of fountain pen and not the average Joe would consider.

For fountain pen users, I think there are better fountain pen with nib just as good or even better than Dani Trio.

I think this is only a pen for maki-e lovers as the theme is good, and the artwork is good, not great.

I found this glass paperweight at "K"rafers' Paradise located at City Square Mall level 4.

The paperweight was a useful accessories in those non-air conditional environment. It is was used to hold down papers.

Today, it only serve as a decorative items on our desk.

Delta Fusion 82

There was a fair bit of information on the new Delta fusion nib as early as last September. I only managed to test drive this nib only in early April.

It has replaced my daily writer Namiki Yukari Royal for the last 7 weeks.

Firstly, I would have to agree to most users that the nib look really cool. I couldn’t say for the pen outlook. The pen design itself doesn’t really stand out among other modern pens.
