B+B LE Herald Grande Progress Thread

[bgray]

*sigh* guess I now have to as well. Though, my limit on pricing for a pen needs to be less than $300. I could splurge for $350-400 tops. But if the LE signature pen is over that there is no way I could justify the price for me personally. Curious about the new pen in the line up though.

And where did you read about this?

Edit: Turns out it's on the Edison site now. Ignore my silly question :)

The new production model will hopefully be out soon. The new stealth pen is actually already produced. We have barrels and caps done. The clips and nibs will be unique with this LE....stay tuned...

Rock on :)

I look forward to seeing what you have come up with. I think I'm done buying pens unless they offer something unique. Which your pens seem to offer. Plus I can count on your nibs being great out of the box. So I'm willing to add to my collection because of the quality and service.

Now... I gotta see about selling a TWSBI Micarta and TWSBI 540 to help fund the next purchase.

We are a crazy bunch aren't we?

#45 (medium nib) checking in. I knew this would be a great pen, but I didn't realize *how* great.

Thanks to all involved, especially Brian and crew at Edison for doing such a first-rate job.

It's like ADHD. Should we get a poll going in a new thread?

Now that I've been writing with this pen for a couple of days (worked this weekend) I find that I prefer writing with it unposted. I almost always post my pens unless I'm just writing down a word or two, but this one just feels better to me unposted. I never even considered any of Brian's non posting pens, but I may have to rethink that now.

Can you give us a price range for the Stealth LE? Is it going to be in the neighborhood of your usual Signature Pens ($250-375), Overlays ($500-600), or Urushi Line ($800-1000)?

Will the new production model be priced comparably with the existing production pens?

[bgray]

The stealth LE will be less than typical Signature Line, since there are done production style.

The new Production Line pen will be in the same ballpark as all the others.

#43 of 63 was waiting for me when I got home today...Even though I have listened to you folks talking about the size of this pen, I was floored to see how big it really is. I loaded it with 5:00 Shadow and put that beautiful XF nib to paper. My first XF and I was a little worried that it may be too fine. Wow!, wet and smooth, a beautiful line and not so much as a hesitation, scritch or scratch. What a beauty, Thanks Brian and your crew...as well as the B&B crew for all your efforts.

I brought mine to a meeting tonight.
It is now my go to pen.

I inked up my pen tonight #2 with a Medium italic nib. Wooooo!

Mine has been over at my ex's for the last week. I will be getting it on Saturday. It was originally going to be a Birthday/Fathers Day gift to myself.

You just inked it? You have much more patience than I- when I get a new toy, I have to jump right in.

I wanted to wait until everyone got them.

One of a million reasons why Jim is a great guy!

There once was a pen numbered "nine"
with a nib that was quite extra fine.
It was waiting for me
when I got back you see,
After inking, on its qualities I'll opine.

13 has been inked!
FYI: the pen is TOO BIG to fit into a small bottle of Diamine ink.
So i'm using Lamy Blue-Black, as it matches the ebonite.
