Introducing the Satire®

Here’s a new pen model for 2021 that’s fun and funky — the Satire®. When closed, the cap looks longer than the barrel, but when uncapped, the pen is normal in length and has a very long, 28mm extended grip. This extra length on the grip keeps your fingers from touching the barrel threads.

The Satire® design grew out of a customer’s request for a model similar to the Aeterna®, but with a flush cap and barrel body.

It features a straight cap and barrel with slight tapers at either end. Both finials have a smooth, convex shape. The pen comes in the usual range of Scriptorium sizes, and can be customized like all other models.

Click here to visit the Satire® page and see some already made examples.

This Large Satire in the distinguished Legionnaire acrylic was the first Satire created.  The customer is calling it the JA 1214. 😁

New Nib Offerings

Ready for some fancy writing?

Secretary of De Flex Nib

Scriptorium Pens is delighted to offer some fun new nib styles for our customers.  First is the fabulous Secretary of De Flex Steel Nibs by Kirk Speer. Customers are always asking for flex nibs, and now they can get them!  These nibs have amazing flex, so much so that it’s hard to believe they are steel and not gold.

Next are the amazing Stacked Nib styles from Monty Winnfield. We offer the full range of their unique nibs.  These nibs take “stacked” to a whole new level.  Visit the Monty Winnfield website for more details.

The Cobra Nib – one of six different stacked nib styles from Monty Winnfield. All Monty Winnfield nibs will have the Scriptorium shield logo engraved on them.
Close-up of the Secretary of De Flex Nib from Kirk Speer. These will not have the Scriptorium shield logo on them due to the nature of the custom work done to the nib.

Any of these wonderful new nibs are available now for ordering. If you already have a pen on order and wish to add or change to one of these offerings, just send me an email: renee@scriptoriumpens.com

Fraud Alert

FRAUD ALERT

It has come to my attention that a website which has no actual connection whatsoever to Scriptorium Pens, LLC,®  is falsely claiming to make and sell custom Scriptorium Pens®.  These individuals have also falsely claimed to make and sell other prominent custom pen makers’ products.

If you see or suspect a fraud website or scam, proceed with caution.

The only place to order a custom Scriptorium Pen® or a stock Scriptorium Pen® is directly through me (Scriptorium Pens, LLC®)  or through my established websites on Facebook, Instagram, etc.

Scriptorium Pen Sleeves

 

Following numerous customer requests, Scriptorium Pen Sleeves are now available! Custom made by Rickshaw Bags of San Francisco, these sleeves feature the Scriptorium Pens logo in white on a black cover, and have a super soft, plush lining inside to protect your pens. These can be ordered separately or with a pen order, and are $15 each.

Nibs and Clips and Woods, oh my!

Scriptorium Pens has had a busy, busy summer, not only making pens but also designing new clips and pen prototypes. As we head into the Fall season, I wanted to give you some news and updates on our expanded offerings.

Bock #8 Nibs are now available for Large and Oversized pens!

Those of you who have mourned the end of production of the large JoWo #8 nibs now have another option — Scriptorium Pens is offering Bock #8 Nibs in Titanium and 18k Gold for large and oversized pens. Previously, I had not offered these nibs because I was not satisfied with the fit of my hand-tapped sections for this popular brand. With no more JoWo #8s for my customers, I reached out to a friend with a wonderful CNC machine to make the sections to fit precisely.  Many customers have already asked for these nibs in their current orders. If you already have an order in my queue, you can change it to a Bock #8 nib if you wish. Just send me an email: renee@scriptoriumpens.com  As with all Scriptorium Pens nibs, these will be smoothed and tuned for a medium wet ink flow and a wonderful writing experience by nibmeister Mark Bacas, Nib Grinder.

In addition, after many customer requests, I am once again offering to make grip sections for customer provided Pelikan nibs. I make the section, you provide the nib. I am not a Pelikan distributor and can not purchase a nib for you.

Details on nib options and pricing can be found on the Nibs & Sections page and the Price List page.

New Clips and Roll Stop

Scriptorium Pens has added two new cast clips and a new roll stop. The new Curvy Nouveau is based on the very popular Nouveau clip, but with some nice curves to it, and without the logo. The Minimalist clip is a totally new design, with a clean, smooth surface and profile. Both clips feature a slight upturn at the end to make them slide into a pocket more smoothly. The Open Bible roll stop is based on the Open Book roll stop, but with a wooden cross and crown of thorns on the pages. See the Clips page and the Roll Stops page for more details.

Slim Size Pens added to Lineup

After many requests for smaller pens, a Slim Size option has been added. These Slim pens are the smallest size possible to make and still hold a #6 nib and international converter. The base barrel size at the threads for these will be 11.8mm or .46” Also, a new model that will take full advantage of this Slim size is in the prototype stage. Here’s one of the prototypes:

Did you know that Scriptorium Pens makes wood pens? We do! With an increasing number of orders for custom wood pens, a new Wood Pens category has been added to the Models menu. Current pen models can be made with wood, or you can create your own design.

Consider the natural beauty of wood for your next custom pen! See the Wood Pens page for details.

Scriptorium Pens tuned by Mark Bacas, Nibgrinder

I am super excited to announce that all Scriptorium Pens nibs will be tuned and adjusted for a smooth writing experience by Mark Bacas, Nibmeister at Nibgrinder.com.  I’ve known Mark for several years now, and it just seemed like a natural fit to ask him to partner with Scriptorium Pens.  These super smooth and medium wet nibs will be going into all pens currently in the work queue, as well as all future pens.  And the best part is that it won’t cost customers a penny.  This service is included in the base price of all pens!  After all, the most important part of a fountain pen is the nib’s performance.

As an added bonus of this partnership, Scriptorium Pens will be able to spend more time on pen production, which is a major goal this year. In addition, other plans are coming together to increase production and get pens into customers’ hands more quickly.

A big Thank You goes out to Mark for taking on this work! It’s going to be a great year for Scriptorium Pens.
