Blue Ghost Koi Cigar Style Fountain Pen


Hi again.

I thought I would put up some pics of this one, because it was a rather interesting material.  I recently made a pen out of one of J Brooks' alumilites which he called 'Ghost Koi', a purple-on-offwhite material that sparked some interest among a few pen fans.  But I had a request to make a pen out of a similar material but with blue instead of purple on the white backdrop.  Unfortunately, it did not work out for the buyer, so this pen will be moving to my sales page.



Because of the request, I had asked Jonathon to make up a blue on white Ghost Koi.  Here is the result. Came out very cool, but the pics really don't portray it well.  probably I should have photographed it on a lighter backdrop, as the white of the pen came out rather more yellowy in the pics than in person.  Still the blue is about right - transparent/translucent swirls of pearly blue on the white background - very nice indeed!

This one is fitted with a polished steel JoWo broad nib (which I can swap out for any other), and of course is cart/converter fill.  Or ED, if you need a tanker of ink.



Cheers,

Ken
