The Dia2 is a full sized fountain pen towards the top end of the Kaweco range. Heavily inspired by their pens of old, it brings a more refined and classical design than much of the rest of the pens in their portfolio.

Five months since last time and there have been a few changes, though some of what you see may be temporary. One thing that is interesting to note is just how many of the pens below have steel nibs, almost a reverse of the Daily Carry set.

One of the joys of fountain pen shows is when something jumps out at you while passing and browsing tables, especially those belonging to the solo and small pen makers. Such a thing happened to me with this Rosetta at the 2022 October London Pen Show. Making their first appearance, Nine-Bespoke Pens were not unknown to me, however it was the first time I had been able to see their work in the flesh.

I can’t believe it has been seven months since I last updated this list. I know I have been busy recently, then hit by a wave of apathy, but really I should have created this post around October time.

Last Sunday, the 9th of October, saw the London Pen Show, held once more at the Hammersmith Novotel. Despite the weather forecast being for rain, it proved to be a dry though chilly day, which of course was moot once we were inside and wandering round.

It has been over two years since I last posted about the pens I was taking to work. February 2020. Not long before the COVID-19 pandemic started to spread with the inevitable restrictions and lock downs we still see in many parts of the world. Times changes. I went from working from home several days a week to full time with the result my pen cases went in to a drawer.
