Just put in for something different. Scottish FP??
Just got an email from massdrop about a deal going on a Namisu aluminum fountain pen with a titanium nib. The price was very reasonable. I decided to dig a little deeper and see what else they had to offer. I guess Bock makes a titanium nib these days. Didn't know that and it's at a reasonable cost. I don't have a titanium nib in my collection........that's a bad sign. I found that Namisu (a Scottish FP company) makes a solid Ti pen with a Bock Ti nib and it wasn't horrifically expensive! They also had a 15% off Black Friday sale going.....dooooom! Ended up putting in for a solid Ti stonewashed pen with this Ti Bock nib in medium. Word on the street is it verges on semi flex. I'm pretty excited! This could rival my Omas Ludovico Einaudi for a daily carry pen! This Namisu Nova has a very Japanese form to it that I find really interesting. Not sure the connection from Scotland to Japan but I have to say, didn't see a lot of Japanese people in Scotland last time I was there! Again, really excited about this incoming!

Congrats. Saw that on Massdrop. That is a very dangerous site. They have a Junghans Max Bill Chrono for $1200 right now. That is scary cheap

That's true! I saw the Orion on massdrop and thought to look at what else Namisu makes. A solid Ti pen is kind of unique in the market especially at that price. Also have a pocket drone coming in thanks to massdrop
