Interesting review. I am not as intrigued with this design as you are, but I can see the attraction. I think it is just too big. My first "expensive" fountain pen was a Parker Duofold, and I was rather surprised to find how huge the Duofold was in my hand at the time. In your comparison, though, the Duofold seems rather minuscule. Ha, ha.
A very well made pen for life. A red ,an orange and a black would make a great set. I’m interested to know if the gold nib would offer more line variation in your opinion?
Great review. Thank you. Unfortunately, in the kingdom of fountain pens $500 for a Jowo nib with a plain converter in an antique form is trmendously overpriced. For the pen maker to succeed, he should perhaps study the alternatives that are competing in the space. I hope he brings the product into a more realistic price point.
David, "duplicity" means deciet, NOT duplication. Please watch your usage, and don't employ words of which you do not know the meaning. This was a bad slip.
Interestingly, an archaic meaning of duplicity is "doubleness." Triplicity means things coming in triples. By the way, "deciet" isn't the correct spelling. Many the teacher pounded into my poor head the rule, I before E except after C, unless pronounced as a long A as in neighbor and weigh. Every time I heard that lecture I always said that was a weird rule. W-e-i-r-d, not w-i-e-r-d. None of those spelling tyrants ever got my joke.
Great Review! I have two pens from Mythic Pens. Great quality, and he used vintage "lizard-skin" blanks to craft them which was impressive!

This pen looks epic in an old Conway Stewart resin, it’s been on my grail list for awhile.
It was a Mythic Pen that sent me into the abyss that is the fountain pen hobby. It's all Brad's fault. 😂
Sent my brother Conrad’s ‘Mirror of the Sea’ and a Sheaffer Coffee Edition rollerball, he loves both.

New Parker Centennial Duofolds with gold nibs can be found for less!

You can correct someone without being a jerk about it, you know.

@@dennett316 - well said! I also think that @jacobus57 could have chosen his/her words more appropriately, and more decently.
