Whomever they paid to find them a new name has taken them for a ride. In 5 seconds I came up with a better name: Gnarwhal.
This is why you should be a top Brand Consultant! 👏
I like it much more than their new name.
I totally don't understand why people are saying Nahvalur is hard to pronounce or spell - all of the letters are there in front of people. Either way, if it helps a pen company continue I'm all for it.
What a beautiful color and love the name of the ink too.The Original Plus is gorgeous.
I prefer the old logo. Searching for Narwhal pens never got me whale results, Nahvalur is not a name that I find easy to remember. An the pen. A very nice pen with the always interesting vacuum filling system. I would love some extra pizzazz on the barrel, seems too plain. I like the 2 levels of threads where the nib unit meets the barrel, some similar pens have them at the same place (one inside and one on the outer part of the barrel) and that leads to cracks due to the pressure at that point. Good engineering. I noticed the feed has its casing, is it easy to change? The gasket comes with 2 levels too, does it stop the ink flow like the Opus 88 pens to prevent leakage? If so it is an even better offering than I expected in that price range though the Shoekill (yes thats how i remember it) appeals more to me due to the barrel colours. The TWSBI Vac700 (except the Iris) has serious competition at and below that price range.
Beautiful shading the green ink!
I much prefer the Narwhal logo on the nib...not the new squiggly lines. Ever notice the clips are identical to several Taccia pens like the Spectrum?
David, I love your content! Do you have a playlist for your ink reviews?
Thanks for the review. I almost bought one of these at the pen show, but picked up a Schuykill instead. I may pick up one of these, too.
Just received the Nahvalur/Galen Leather collab and love it. You are one of my pen heroes for interviewing Neil deGrasse Tyson. Was happy to learn that I have something in common with a "rocket scientist."
Cool. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for your very helpful review. It's such a nice looking and affordable vac filler that it's hard to pass up. I'd like to get the pen just because it's the company's first release in the very hard to say, very hard to remember, and very hard to spell new name.
i prefer the old logo. the new logo looks like the first thing someone would draw right after they got it
Old logo is so nice.
Great review
You need to shake up cheerio waterbus a bunch to get the blue pigment better suspended in the ink. It looks way cooler when you shake it up.
Huh, I never really thought I would like translucent pens, but I kinda dig this one. I might have to get one!
Thank you for the review. Nahvalur is going through some things! I'd don't follow fountain pen drama but I'm hoping things work out for them given how much I like most of their designs.
Thank you for the review, David. It is certainly worth considering. How easy is it to maintain and clean the barrel and plunger?
Not so sure if I like the name change. I do like the new logo.
I feel $55 is great value for what you get! I love the looks of the pen and the nib performs very nice indeed! 💙 And the ink is gorgeous!! 😍
Did they have to change the logo? I'm not fond of the oversimplified narwhal. But that pen is cool.
Yes. Same for Sailor. In fact, across all industries, pretty much every update to a nice logo has ruined it, in the name of... modernity?
Corporate minimalism is a plague.
I hope they never stop cross referencing searches for narwhal because I still can’t get that h in the right spot.
I do like the vacuum filling, but I have to say the acrylic is deeply uninspiring to me, after recent very exciting designs. Looks like it should be a multi-pack ballpoint.
Based on their logic, every Italian pen company I can think of should also change name.
Maybe they're right, but I'm not convinced.
Same. Most of the people thinking of Leonardo + Italy have some specific gentleman from Renaissance on their mind, yet a very successful company produces pens under this name too...
@@tayterlik Not only that. Leonardo is also Italy's largest defence company. And it's a common first name.
Visconti is a surname, famously that of a noble family from Milan.
Montegrappa, if searched on Google, also yields me some results related to "monte Grappa", a mountain.
Gioia literally means "joy", nothing special about it.
Aurora means... aurora. It's also a first name.
The only exception that comes to my mind is Pineider.
Please do a review of Nahvalaur spring
I don't have strong feelings about the name change but will sorely miss the old logo - the new "stylized" whale just looks generic and busy to me.
I like the fact that you didn't try to pronounce the new name, not even once!
Also, I do think this pen looks kinda like a TWSBI, under certain lighting or colour.
Love the pen. Based on its built quality and excellent nib and vac filling mechanism, I plan to order a couple more. However, I must say the new name is a branding disaster. Whoever made that decision should be dismissed on grounds of marketing malpractice.
I can understand that they were perhaps bound to change name for legal reasons, but they did a poor job at it in my opinion. Which is a shame because I also love their pens.
Is that ink easy to clean out of the pen? I find that firm’s ink is a challenge to clean . Thanks
The name is one thing, but why on earth would they change the logo? It was so good and the new one is so...... not. This is very disappointing.
That pen looks like a rebranded Wing Sung 3008. Take away the cap and nib and I'd be curious about a side to side comparison.
New name more unique or more obscure? We baby boomers really don’t embrace change but good luck Nahvalur.
I’m just wondering if you could fill one of these pens using a TWSBI Vac 20 filling bottles?
Is the nib made in house? Where is made this pen? Which country?
For us spanish speakers the new name is not dificult to pronounce, buuuuuuut, warwhal in spanish sounds very similar to the english pronunciation and the new name has really nothing to do now.
In the end I won't care as long as they continue creating great pens.
Very similar to penbbs transparent pens!! Are these mass produced by China via branding which cost more…
Actually let me tell you something interesting NARWAL is an INDIAN sir name and the amount of facebook names and companies you ll find in India with this exact spelling will your foookin blow your mind. When I heard someone saying narwal I was of the mind that it might be an INDIAN company.
In fact a state named as HARYANA in INDIA , where I am from, has actually a CITY named after narwal named as NARWANA. That name change wasnt just needed but it was foookin necessary you can't even fathom the search engine picking up India facebook names or other home grown small companies in the name NARWAL.
But that comment with GNARLWAL was amazing.
Most vacuum pens (of cheaper types) can’t perform well or fill ink to max!!
How difficult is it to clean?
Nothing out of the ordinary.
I have to correct you because Pennonia is a Rumanian company, not Hungarian.
Narwhal has to stop making new pens! My wallet can’t handle it. They have easily jumped to the top of my favorite pens list. I don’t like the new logo though. Too stylized.
X2 to all you said.
Me too
This is Bock nib ???
No. It is an in-house Nahvalur nib.
Both the new name and logo are a poor choice according to me.
Super weird choice to change the name and logo to harder and uglier, supposedly in response to searchability difficulties online.
I put in “narwhal fountain pen” and guess what I get? Their pens.
That story is strange.
Easily in my top 3 pen channels on youtube, great reviews, excellent commentary, but man, the handwriting? lets work on that cursive friend!
Everyone had their own style.
What an odd branding decision.
na va Lu , what
Narvalhalla would be an appropriate name for their company so they could hope that may be someone might remember its name.
There is nothing on this company and their pens that would attract me to buy even one of them. Let alone name it even ...
May be they could even make a story about Narvalhalla being the place where heroic fountain pens go when they die
that was a terrible decision to change the name
I think it's because TWSBI now claim to have invented whales! 😉 😆 🐋 🐳
@@archivist17 lmao
Uninspiring pen and inane branding changes. I'm struggling to care about this company in general. Blah.
Shame about your writing skills though 😶
It’ll still be Narwhal to me. Mostly because I’ll never remember how to spell the new name. 🫤
