Well, he shared that he was finisheing the model I have been wanting on IG, so I did a thing.

There is a pic that I took and I will include a couple from his IG as well that show how the light catches the abalone much better.

Atalier Lusso
Carina Ragazzone
Deep Green Abalone / Midnight Green Resin
Bronze trim
Medium nib





Looks nice! How does the nib write?

Funny thing... haven't even inked it up yet! I have a few pens to get cleaned and such and then will put this one into the rotation. I do have a few at work and also carry 2-3 with me in my work bag as well...

Do they use standard Bock or Jowo nibs?
