I just love this pen, so I purchased it after having reviewed it almost a year ago.

SBRE Brown Fountain Pen Ink is Back and Where to Get It
SBRE Brown fountain pen ink is back! This ink is made by Diamine and will be distributed by P.W. Akkerman in The Hague: get yours here. I realize shipping outside of the EU may be costly, but you will also not pay 21% VAT. You may want to see a full Inkcyclopedia entry on this ink, but bear in mind the ink now comes in very cool 120 ml (4 oz.) Akkerman Dutch Masters bottles. The price of the ink is 23.50 EUR – that’s more than the ink cost last time, but you get four times as much ink plus a very cool, reusable bottle this time around!

My Personal Pens: Visconti Kakadu
The Kakadu, very similar in size to an Opera Master, was part of a trio of pens exclusive to the Australian market: the Australis, Didgeridoo, and the Kakadu. It’s a wonderful, well-balanced pen with a great oblique stub nib. This is the pen I took with me when I defended my PhD thesis due to its great balance and reliable writing qualities. I have not yet recorded a full review of this pen but I will do so as soon as I can.
