Chatting About My Pens Part 4: Arco Pens
In this new series of videos, I chat about my pens. There will be no writing sakomples here: if you’re interested in that, please check out my reviews of the individual pens or see my Personal Pens videos.
In this fourth installment, I talk about the pens made of Arco Bronze celluloid, made by OMAS, Oldwin, and Armando Simoni Club.
Armando Simoni Club Bologna Extra Wild Dark Side
This pen was kindly lent to me by Emmanuel of Armando Simoni Club Pens. What I forgot to mention in the video is that the ruthenium coating on the nib appears to be less sensitive to developing “nib crud”, as less ink seems to stick to the laser engraving in the nib.
