Imperfect Oblique Pen https://thepostmansknock.com/catalog/imperfect-oblique-pen/ https://thepostmansknock.com/catalog/imperfect-oblique-pen/#comments Mon, 24 Feb 2020 03:53:11 +0000 https://thepostmansknock.com/?post_type=product&p=1370525 Bargain-hunting calligraphers (and calligraphy beginners) rejoice! TPK's imperfect pens are 100% functional, but they have little flaws here and there. A few things to note:

  • I examine all pens personally to ensure that they can write just as well as any "perfect" pen
  • For a "Pretty in Pink" oblique pen, imperfections might include something like an exposed air bubble or chip
  • Typical wooden oblique imperfections include uneven ridges from the lathe or chipped wood
  • The imperfection might not be in the pen at all, but in the flange -- sometimes the brass is discolored or otherwise flawed
  • The exact imperfection will vary from pen to pen; the examples pictured should give you a general idea of what to expect

We order oblique pens by the thousands to sell in the TPK Supplies Shop. Once we receive the pens, I fit them for either the Nikko G nib, Brause Rose nib, or I make whole new flange that accommodates Brause EF66 nib. Invariably, however, there are pens in every batch that I cannot sell due to little imperfections. These are those pens!

Right Oblique Pen (for Brause Rose Nib) https://thepostmansknock.com/catalog/pretty-in-pink-right-oblique-pen-for-brause-rose-nib/ https://thepostmansknock.com/catalog/pretty-in-pink-right-oblique-pen-for-brause-rose-nib/#comments Thu, 24 Oct 2019 22:49:50 +0000 https://thepostmansknock.com/?post_type=product&p=1110217

This oblique pen is custom fitted for the Brause Rose nib in order to accommodate its thin, delicate shank.

  • Choose between a wooden oblique or a resin swirled “Pretty in Pink” pen … they’re both excellent choices.
  • This pen has a brass flange, which you can adjust if the angle doesn’t feel just right for you. (Read about why brass is best here.)
  • I’ve custom-fitted each and every flange on these pens to snugly hold a Brause Rose nib.
  • The resin used to create the "Pretty in Pink" pen is lightweight and smooth, which makes for a pleasant writing experience!
  • The finish on the wooden pen has a smooth, contoured feel that's classic and delightful.

These oblique pens are specifically fitted by me for a Brause Rose nib. While some left-handed people might enjoy using this pen, it is intended for right-handed writers! Note that for the “Pretty in Pink” pens, no two pens are alike: the pink swirls are random and lovely. This pen does not include the nib, which needs to be purchased separately.

Oblique Pen (for Brause EF66 Nib) https://thepostmansknock.com/catalog/right-oblique-pen-for-brause-ef66-nib/ https://thepostmansknock.com/catalog/right-oblique-pen-for-brause-ef66-nib/#comments Tue, 17 Sep 2019 23:56:12 +0000 https://thepostmansknock.com/?post_type=product&p=1101519 A quality oblique pen fitted for the Brause EF66 nib is here, and each flange is cut, sanded, and shaped by hand from a strip of brass to fit the fabulous little Brause EF66. Here's why these pens are so very special:

  • It has an amazing brass flange. Penmaker Rodger Mayeda was kind enough to give me several hours of his time to show me his flange-making secrets. I'm using his template and techniques to create these oblique flanges.
  • It's difficult to find good Brause EF66 oblique pens -- and I can see why. The flange takes time and effort to create. However, I've wanted to provide a pen like this to you for years, and now I finally can.
  • Choose between a wooden oblique or a resin swirled "Pretty in Pink" pen ... they're both excellent choices.

Note that this pen does not come with the nib. You can purchase a Brause EF66 nib a la carte by clicking here.

Every calligrapher needs a reliable "workhorse" pen. For many right-handed calligraphers, this is that pen! You'll be pleasantly surprised at how easy and comfortable it is to create right-leaning calligraphy with this fabulous tool. Here are some reasons to love this pen:

  • It's got a brass flange, which you can adjust if the angle doesn't feel just right for you. (Read about why brass is best here!)
  • I've custom-fitted each and every flange on these pens to snugly hold a Nikko G nib or a Blue Pumpkin nib.
  • The finish has a smooth, contoured feel that makes for pleasant writing.

These oblique pen flanges are engineered for right-handed writers and are specially fitted by me for a Nikko G nib. Each pen is tested twice for the proper writing angle before being sent out! Note that no two pens are the same color; on the wooden pens, each pen is unique due to the wood used to create it. On the Pretty in Pink pens, the pink + white swirls are random and lovely. This pen does not include the nib, which needs to be purchased separately.
