I thought it would be interesting to check out three pens from the same brand that have quit different prices. What exactly can you expect when you decide to spend more money?

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.
