Top 5 Pens of February, How to Handle Pen FOMO - The Write Stuff ep. 27Goldspot Pens2024-02-29 | In this episode, we share the top 5 pens customers fell in love with in February, and how to deal with pen release FOMO. Hang out till the end and I’ll give away something on my desk.
The Original PLUS has a clear acrylic body so the writer may see the ink slosh around the inside of the pen. Fill the barrel with ink using the vacuum plunger with a simple, one-handed operation. Write smoothly in a variety of stainless steel nibs sizes (number 6 size, manufactured by Nahvalur).
Contrary to more expensive vacuum filling fountain pens (like the Custom 823 or Visconti Homo Sapiens), the Original Plus can be easily disassembled for more thorough cleaning by unscrewing the grip section from the body of the pen. Plus, it's a whole lot less expensive than those aforementioned grail-worthy pens.
Goldspot partnered with Nahvalur to create this new, exclusive design. This pen is named after the Rainbow Wrasse - one of the most colorful saltwater fish usually found in the Mediterranean Sea. The body's glistening, transparent material has a fish scale-like shimmer and vivid rainbow-colored trims to accent it. To top it all off, the Nahvalur #6 size in-house stainless steel nib also matches the tropical rainbow style.A new way to play with shimmer ink - The Write Stuff ep. 34Goldspot Pens2024-05-17 | In this episode, we dip our toes (and nibs) into shimmery goodness with a fun swatching tool and a new, glittery, Goldspot-exclusive exclusive Benu fountain pen.

Grail-worthy titans like the Visconti Homo Sapiens, Pelikan Souveran M1000, Namiki Emperor, and the Sailor King of Pen are our customers' favorites. Yet, none can top the grandiose nib size of the new Magna Carta Mag 1000 ebonite fountain pen.
Since Magna Carta makes nibs, feeds, materials, and filling mechanisms in-house, they are capable of pushing the boundaries of pen making. And, they did so with this pen. Made in India, the Mag 1000 boasts a whopping number 10 size stainless steel nib with a heart-cut breather hole and ebonite feed. This jet-black ebonite fountain pen fills using a cartridge or converter, of which a converter is included.
The massive Mag 1000 fountain pen isn't for the faint of heart. But, if you love oversized pens with gargantuan nibs, then you need to try the biggest.
