Thank you for your review David! If you want to see how this Scribo is made, checkout our How It's Made video: ruclips.net/video/Ltoap8Ycmx4/видео.html&ab_channel=AppelboomPennen
As always, great content: you are in my top two for content; unfortunately something is going on with your microphone/preamp setup. You've got a great, smooth speaking voice but you need to boost your higher frequencies or overall level to be heard like other reviewers.
I am watching this for a second time (with considerable time between viewings), so I did not check if or what I possibly posted. I too have a very, very high regard for SCRIBO. My SRIBO is priceless, as it was the pen owned by the CEO of SCRIBO, tuned to perfection, with a soft flex nib to die for. Such was the generosity of the CEO who, when appearing on Appelboom’s my 3 Favorite pens, gave his own pen to the viewer who wrote the more compelling reason why the would pen would be special. It is by far the most impressive pen i own and it is one a retired professor could never justify buying. I will be grateful for as long I as live for the generosity. I “FEEL the passion of writing each time I use this amazing pen.
You have the best reviews. When you tell me your life experiences within the intro I am glued with my ears poked attentively. Thanks for always sharing.
I am saving for my first Scribo and I am so glad you liked the brand it makes my decision to purchase one of these beautifully made pens easier. I thank you for your time
Officer Figboot, I have some heinous pen crimes to report: -Companies using plastic feeds with their flex nibs instead of ebonite. -Companies that claim to have existed for over a hundred years even though they went defunct then bought and re-launched at a later date. -Companies using the term 'precious resin' for regular plastic. Probably one of the more grievous crimes in my opinion though. Please make sure justice is served swiftly, thank you.
Thanks for your review of the Scribo Feel. I purchased one and received it a couple of days before you posted this review. Mine is a different finish but just as beautiful, well-made and smooth writing as yours. One dealer's site stated Scribo limited production of each finish of the Feel to 219, which if true, makes the price a bit more palatable as well.
I am very pleased with the performance of my 3 Scribo pens. The one improvement I will seek is an increase in ink flow in my Zucca 18k BBB. I have a 14k Flex Broad that feels incredible to write with! Ink flow is just right and I’ve even used a shimmering ink with no problems with cleaning. Tip for Buying a Scribo in the US, PenChalet.com , use the Pentertainment Podcast discount code, then check out with PayPal pay in 4 option. Voila, one super pen in place of 4 lower price pens, about $136/ month. Anyway, that’s my strategy. Thanks for reviewing Scribo!
Super. A very nice pen. Very tempting indeed. The nib seems a bit small for that sized pen and it was brought into focus with the uncapped comparisons. However, the smaller nib does keep the price down.
Yay! more Scribo love and attention! Thank you for the review. It took a long while to bite on Scribo as that large bulbous fat design did not win me over initially. Once in hand however, it fits like a glove and is not overly large or heavy. The hand polished facets really add functional luxury into both barrel and section. The only concern I have is the piston mechanism. I actually do not mind lower ink capacity and wish for a c/c version for easy ink changes. I enjoy the 14K Flex the Flex Foglia, absolutely top-notch and fairs flex favorably to custom grind by IndyPenDance on 14K Jowo #6 (stiffer but truer). I'd say the Scribo 14K flex has the feel of a soft wide Pilot CU #50 plus added flex for line variation with minimal pressure. If this is OMAS flex of yesteryear, Scribo has really honored the namesake with Feel the Flex and offers a great service to the FP community. I'd be curious how MB Calligraphy Flex and Santini Superflex using 18K comparatively fare against 14K. Either way, this is a great renaissance for Italian fountain pen lovers or any fan that enjoys a fine writing experience.
The worst pen crime is buying a pen and the nib won't write at all or it writes badly. The primary function of a pen is to write. I have $100 pens that write perfectly and much more expensive Visconti and Montegrappa pens that came with awful nibs. If Kaweco and Lamy can provide nibs that write acceptably, there can be no excuse for companies that make and market pens that are many times more expensive .
Beautiful pen!! I love the look of it and it looks to be a really good quality pen too overall. I will admit I bruised my chin on my desk when you mentioned the price but I think it could be a grail pen for one day perhaps but it might have to wait in line with some of my other grails haha As for a pen crime... I think that it is awful when a pen manufacturer makes a pen out of material so precious and delicate that you feel as if you can't or shouldn't ink it up and use it. I like a pen that is aesthetically pleasing and stuff don't get me wrong. But when it almost feels like you are holding a work of art that belongs in a gallery rather than a functional piece of kit that just looks really nice and classy yet a great and practical pen to use I feel like it just totally defeats the object of it being a pen. I know these are normally things that a 'collector' would buy as opposed to a 'user' in a lot of respects and as a user, perhaps I am biast but this is only my humble opinion and I'm sure other people may disagree but that's what I feel is a pen crime.' I would LOVE to see a video on what your pen crimes are though, David. I'm sure you have seen some things in your journey that you feel someone should be fined or arrested for doing to a pen or ink haha! Yeah a pen crime video is definitely something I would be interested in seeing! Great video David, thank you for this review and for all of your videos. From the bottom of my heart, thank you! Thank you for taking your time to help and inspire so many people with your videos. Watching them makes me want to use my pens (and buy lots of lovely new ones too!!!!)
Worst pen crime is elitism, both from brands, pen users and non-pen users. "We are [brand], people don't mind paying a premium for our products/certain design choices/what it writes like." "You have never used X/spent more than Y/had more than Z, therefore I'm better at pens than you." "You can't write with that, it's only for special occasions/people with nice handwriting/writing in blue or black ink with."
Glad to see this review, I've been hoping that some video reviews for the Scribo Feel would be coming out. I've been considering this pen due to the reputation of the nibs, so I'm also glad to see the nib performance seems to match that reputation. The pen crime I want to mention is more like a pet peeve -- modern cartridge/converter pens that have a faux piston knob or blind cap at the end of the barrel, complete with gold band separating it from the rest of the barrel, which serves no purpose except meaningless decoration. I don't know why it bothers me so much, but it reminds me of the Texas put-down "all hat, no cattle." As if they are pretending to be something they are not.
Pen crime: Not including a cartridge converter. Great review Dave. Can’t get enough of that color. I gotta believe it must be a difficult color to produce, because I’ve simply not seen a silver blue color like that very often. And of course the facets send it over the top! Thanks again Dave.
David, that OMAS ink looks like it feathers quite a bit. I see it in the writing sample and also on the ink swatch. Would you agree with this observation? Cheers, and many thanks for the review.
Totally agree with you, and I am sure I am in the minority when I say that with what the pens retails for that that garish slogan on the pen not once but twice is enough to keep me from purchasing the pen.
Dear David, I am also having a sticky piston problem with my Omas Arco pen. I sent a photo to Scribo regarding a possible repair, and they weren't optimistic about helping me. Any thoughts/recommendations! Thank you.
Really nice pen, with a quite original shape... I think the people used to hold the pen a bit far from the nib may find the step to the barrel a bit too steep. And the price maybe is a bit steep also for a resin pen, even though with 18k nib, ebonite feed and piston filling system. And I see that the design with piston filling without ink window has definitely become common, especially in Italian pens... good but... 😊
Ink crime: coming out with a limited edition ink that proves to be massively popular and then refusing to make it part of your regular line of products (cough! Lamy Dark Lilac cough!).
Hi 👋. I'm looking into getting a lamy 2k. Do u think the EF does an ok job at showing ink properties such as sheen and shading? Or should I upside to a F. Love ur channel!
One pen crime is Monteverde's and Conklin's font. They have some nice looking pens but the their font is far from elegant. I just pretend not to look at it on my innova lol
The ink window on the LAMY 2000 and the one on the Montblanc nº22 (1960s). Useless ink windows in general are the worst pen crime, followed on a close second by dry nibs.
I'm not feeling "feel the writing" as a slogan and especially not engraved on the nib. Why not engrave that lovely quill feather on the nib? Beautiful pen, I thought the price would be higher. My pen crime would be price gouging. A misdemeanor would be not providing a converter with cartridge/converter pens.
On the 14k nibs, instead it says "Feel the Flex", so it does make more sense when you consider across the nib options (the 14k nibs are Extra Flexible, or in the old OMAS days, Extra Flessebile, and that was engraved on the nib (at least on my Alba)
one of the most heinous pen crimes has got to be putting a sticker on the pen that doesn't come off cleanly. i've had to scrape more than one off a pen barrel, and then the sticky residue often won't come off without the use of acetone - which is a nerve-wracking process when it may destroy the material of the pen!
Just use stick tape to get it off. That happens to me often and I used tape to get the tape residue off, two sticky substances attach to each other and remove each other cleanly : ) you welcome
Pen crime - pen parts that have not been thoroughly cleaned or flushed after manufacturing. Or receiving an expensive pen that immediately needs the nib tuned
@@shubhanshuchawla8657 Still no experience with Pelikans yet, but mine was with a Lamy Al Star, got EF but it writes like a B. I use dry inks, so I guess if I use an Aurora or some Diamines, I could probably push a BB... XD
pen crimes: Not writing well out of the box (not writing as I want is fine but issues with performance is a deal breaker); Not including a converter when the pen is pricy (Notoriously so for Japanese brands)...
A pen crime I'm on the fence about is the company name/logo engraved into the pen, rather than the finial or cap band. If it's stylistically part of the pen and suits it, that's fine, but just blatant text on the pen is too much, in my opinion. Another great video! Thank you and thanks to Appelboom!
I don’t think the company slogan being printed on the cap band is any more egregious than Visconti’s antics on the Van Gogh line of pens. VISCONTI / ITALY in a box on one side, and “Van Gogh” printed in a very basic sans serif font on the other? Yikes.
Just a regular international converter would make Pilot pens more appealing to me. I really don't care for their con-70s either. Too bad, their 845 keeps calling to me.
I would very much enjoy a video on 'pen crimes' of course there are actual crimes like making fake Montblancs or using the pen as a poison injector to vanquish your foes but we are talking about comical pen crimes here right? I don't have any exampled of my own or perhaps putting a standard steel nib on a £300-400 pen counts but it sure would make a great video.
Not being able to post a nice pen like Urushi because it destroys the lacquer!!!! after spending 1k on a pen, I would like to post it!!!! also too...a scratchy nib, rips the paper when you try to write on it.
Pen crime: the useless Visconti clip, the old Visconti chipping enamel on the clip. Also, inconsistency in nib quality and gauges from certain manufactures, where some write well, some do not or some 'medium' nibs write too fine or too broad. The dreaded lottery of buying a pen. Or certain manufactures who pop a nib on a pen and ship it without ever testing it. This is an excellent video and it seems Scribo make a high quality pen.
Visconti clips are not the most functional out there. They are hard to use and slip out easily. However, I have found the Visconti Breeze clips to be much better. You can use them one handed and the tension is a bit stronger.
@@efecanl1492 Never tried the Visconti Breeze clip. Must give it a go. The Visconti bridge style clip looks nice but doesn't seem to have much utility.
I've watched a lot of David's reviews and I don't agree with you. He is fair, but he isn't shy about pointing out problems or concerns he encounters, including his assessment of the price being asked by the manufacturer for a particular model. And he is careful to note some things he doesn't like that are simply a matter of individual preference. The pen world is filled with enthusiasts with individual preferences. I personally have not bought some pens I was interested in as the result of his reviews,, and found some I had no prior interest in before he reviewed them. I think you have mistaken fairness for uncritical approval.
Good video. But I'm not tempted with this pen. The cost would work out to over 800 Australian. I'm not fussy on the bulbous design and in comparison to your Omas its a boring pen. Sorry that's just my opinion.

Pen Crime or rather good idea: On expensive pens over $300.00 manufacturers should offer 1x Nib Grinding if you are unhappy with the stock Nib.
Slick metal section might be the most significant pen crime cuz it just limits the use of a pen

I have two nibs for a Leonardo Momento Zero and neither writes well. I had to send them out to be fixed/tuned -- at my expense of course.
Oh, yes, "Pen Crimes" sounds fantastic for a new RUclips cast

Major huzzahs to Scribo! That gives them major points, as does the pen wrap which is so much better than Pelikan's.
And that pen is stunning!
a £600 pen should not have a "feel the writing" engraving anywhere near it!
I'm guessing if English is a second (or more) language it feels less cheesy... but yeah I agree.
I agree, but once you have a Scribo Feel in hand and write with it, the quality of the pen greatly overrides what is in reality a very minor detail.
Totally agree with you, and I am sure I am in the minority when I say that with what the pens retails for that that garish slogan on the pen not once but twice is enough to keep me from purchasing the pen.
That fine nib reminds me of the fine nib on the Waterman Carene that is more like a medium.
Are the Nibs for the Feel the same as the Piuma? meaning they are made the same way, nothing different with the nibs just different model? thanks
Very nice review and very nice story about the repair. Makes me respect the company a bit more.
Thanks for the video.
The worst pen crime, letting it sit on its box and nit use it
I have the Paragon in the Arlo celluloid. Do you think I may have a problem like your Milord? Any idea what caused the issue? Nice review
I have this pen for 10 months (verde bosco). It is rusting - all metal (except gold nib) parts. Think it over before you spend your money.
Thanks for another great video. I use ftn pens for art work, so using the nib upside down is helpful for crosshatches. Do you think it harms the nib?
Dear David, I am also having a sticky piston problem with my Omas Arco pen. I sent a photo to Scribo regarding a possible repair, and they weren't optimistic about helping me. Any thoughts/recommendations! Thank you.
Scribo Feel and Walh Eversharp Decoband Oversize Jade are my most desirable pens of all time!!
Really nice pen, with a quite original shape... I think the people used to hold the pen a bit far from the nib may find the step to the barrel a bit too steep. And the price maybe is a bit steep also for a resin pen, even though with 18k nib, ebonite feed and piston filling system. And I see that the design with piston filling without ink window has definitely become common, especially in Italian pens... good but... 😊
The worst fountain pen crime: selling a pen that doesn't write (hello, Leonardo Momento Zero!).
That is beautiful. Definitely a grail pen.
There is something about an Italian pen that is captivating.
LAMY marketing the Pacific ink as a new product.
Ink crime: coming out with a limited edition ink that proves to be massively popular and then refusing to make it part of your regular line of products (cough! Lamy Dark Lilac cough!).
Hi 👋. I'm looking into getting a lamy 2k. Do u think the EF does an ok job at showing ink properties such as sheen and shading? Or should I upside to a F. Love ur channel!
I find the L2K F to be rather narrow, so I'm not thinking the EF would do a great job of showing off ink properties.
One pen crime is Monteverde's and Conklin's font. They have some nice looking pens but the their font is far from elegant. I just pretend not to look at it on my innova lol
You’re not wrong! Monteverdes font really needs rebranding.
Monteverde's font is like one step removed from Comic Sans...
@@PenFriends they used like 3 different fonts on my innova limited edition and all of them but the original look better
Pen crime video; a fantastic idea!!
The ink window on the LAMY 2000 and the one on the Montblanc nº22 (1960s). Useless ink windows in general are the worst pen crime, followed on a close second by dry nibs.

Worst pen slogan ever: Moonman...
The temperature of writing? I mean.... what?
I'm guessing it's a sensible slogan in Chinese that they popped into google translate.
YEAH NOW THAT IS AN EXCELLENT COMPANY
What about the pen crime of Pineider pens saying "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dogs" on the cap band? Ugh!
one of the most heinous pen crimes has got to be putting a sticker on the pen that doesn't come off cleanly. i've had to scrape more than one off a pen barrel, and then the sticky residue often won't come off without the use of acetone - which is a nerve-wracking process when it may destroy the material of the pen!
Good grief, never use acetone. Buy a bottle of Goo Gone and remove that crap safely.

The omas ink bottle reminds me of Waterman's ink bottle
Pen Crimes: A Noir Story :D
Pen crime. Having the logo way too big in a pen. I can't stand this crime in the Faber Castell Loom.
Solid pen. I like mine .
Pen crime: buying a pen with an EF nib and finding out it writes like a B nib.
So basically, any Pelikan pen😂😂😂
@@shubhanshuchawla8657 Still no experience with Pelikans yet, but mine was with a Lamy Al Star, got EF but it writes like a B. I use dry inks, so I guess if I use an Aurora or some Diamines, I could probably push a BB... XD
pen crimes: Not writing well out of the box (not writing as I want is fine but issues with performance is a deal breaker); Not including a converter when the pen is pricy (Notoriously so for Japanese brands)...
I support the idea of a pen crimes video!
Example of a pen crime - having a gold plated nib with chrome trims or vice versa. It's a design blunder.
A pen crime I'm on the fence about is the company name/logo engraved into the pen, rather than the finial or cap band. If it's stylistically part of the pen and suits it, that's fine, but just blatant text on the pen is too much, in my opinion.
Another great video! Thank you and thanks to Appelboom!
I don’t think the company slogan being printed on the cap band is any more egregious than Visconti’s antics on the Van Gogh line of pens. VISCONTI / ITALY in a box on one side, and “Van Gogh” printed in a very basic sans serif font on the other? Yikes.
Pen crime: unnecessarily limiting some if the pilot pens (falcon, VP) to the awful con-40 converter
Just a regular international converter would make Pilot pens more appealing to me. I really don't care for their con-70s either. Too bad, their 845 keeps calling to me.
Calling plastic as precious resin is a crime
Biggest crime metal sections.
If a pen crime is a crime against taste, then I nominate Visconti for placing two different fonts on the body of their “Homo Sapiens”.
Somehow I instantly suspected that the flag of Bologna is a red cross on a white background :)
Yes, "pen crimes" would be very interesting.

Not being able to post a nice pen like Urushi because it destroys the lacquer!!!! after spending 1k on a pen, I would like to post it!!!! also too...a scratchy nib, rips the paper when you try to write on it.
Pen crime: small parts breaking, like the post for cartridges/converters.
Pen crimes: loose screwable parts.
Pen crime: pens costing over $200.
Worst pen felony is still a dry and scratchy nib.
