I really enjoyed your full-hour long video with Ben. When it comes to great quality fountainpen videos, the longer, the better! Hope you do more of those interviewing-chatting videos😀

More to come! Ben is coming here again :D sometime early 2024 - he liked Romania a lot and we should do a second video - we have a lot of things to still talk about

@sajjadhusain4146 6 ай бұрын

Ha, $300-$1000? That’s a big boat. So, maybe easier to think up favorites. You have great taste, Emy. And to see Italian pens totally dominate your favorites in this price bracket is not at all surprising. I really want the Leonardo pen that is your #1. For whatever it’s worth, I’d say my list of ten favorites in this price range is as follows (in random order): Sailor KoP ebonite Pilot Custom Urushi Vermillion Aurora 88 (Large) Sterling Aurora Optima Riflessi Aurora Internazionale Jade Stipula Etruria Champagne Celluloid Stipula Etruria Ambrosia Stipula Florentia Montezuma Visconti HS Bronze Age Montegrappa Wild Arctic (Solidarity Edition)

@pen.venture 6 ай бұрын

Yup it’s a big carhegory incrementally bigger than under 300 but it’s better for everyone to stick with 3 tiers with the most crazy insane one coming soon. My collection is centered and deeply rooted around Italian pens - while the bigger monsters are around Japanese Urushi artwork. You have some pretty cool things on the list - first two are very cleverly put there 🖋️👀 good taste my man

:D if I remember correctly mine was as well unde 1000 - I dont know how much but anyway it was like 850-900 ish, anyway it was a really big purchase back then and i still remember the smile on my face when Stefano opened the wood boxes and ive seen this red jewel - I just said "this comes home with me" :D

Amazing video Emy! I’m relatively new to the pen hobby and I haven’t looked much at pens above €150 so it was nice to discover so many beautiful, exclusive pens that were made for Pen Venture! That Pen Venture exclusive Visconti Homo Sapiens is going on my holy grail list! I felt that this video was maybe a little bit rushed, as in, made as short as possible so there are no people complaining about a lengthy video. I must say that my attention span for most videos is no longer than 8 minutes or so but the way you passionately talk about your pens and tell the amazing stories behind them, like with the Visconti Homo Sapiens Jade, it really draws me in and I can watch for hours before getting bored! I read in one of your replies that another video with Ben is planned, which I’m already very excited for! I really enjoyed the previous video you did with 😁 On the topic of Ben and Gravitas, I’m surprised the Kyuseido/Gravitas Kakari was not mentioned in this video😉

@pen.venture 6 ай бұрын

Thank you so much :D - please take your time in just going up in value with the pens you collect, one of the things that I must say I would of done different now is to build a collection slower and only go up in value once I establish a good base of entry value/models. Since I had some pens that didnt make the cut - I wanted to still be reasonable with the timing :D Ben is for sure coming back on the channel - ether im traveling to him or him here - I have two kakari pens that I still get around to understand the dynamic of this collaboration and to do justice in presenting them online, for sure they'll have their air time soon :D

He loves his Italian pens! Of course they are all beautiful. I wonder if they perform differently, and if any stands out for performance, smoothness, or comfort?

@pen.venture 6 ай бұрын

im guilty of that :)) - I think each is unique although it may all look the same to a viewer but for me, each has its own way of sitting in my hand while im writing with it, one is more smooth the other may have a hint of feedback, some are for longer sessions of writing, others are just to show off...

I don't mind the long video format. Else I might be watching some other 'viral videos'. Here I am listening to an actual human being's thought and opinion, not someonw who is just trying to rip me off. I don't particularly enjoy the Leonardos. And that is okay. I can still enjoy someone else's enjoymemt of that pen.

What's your way of deciding the top ten pens? What factors go into zeroing down!

@pen.venture 6 ай бұрын

hmmm - there isnt a mathematical formula, every year I do it different but always is about pens that get used more, get to have a certain way of making me choose to carry them, to ink them and to enjoy having them throughout that specific year.

Great video as always ❤️let them moan about lengthy video's. I like them this way and I truly love how passionate you speak about each of your pens on this list. I think i only have 2 pens in this category (or 3 if I include shipping and tax), and again I can't choose haha. Shared first place 😂😂😂 for my pilot custom 845 Urushi and my Visconti HS demo stones that I bought from you at my first ever pen show ❤️

:D lengthy or not - I cant rush passion and love for these writing instruments that made everything possible :D I wont cave in to do things different unless I personally see a need of that coming from my personal reflection and as a choice of myself. Pilot 845 is a veeeeery solid choice :D + that Demo stones is eye candy and soul food

@pen.venture 18 күн бұрын

welcome to the club then :D - italian pens are very different to Japanese pens like pilot and also on European manufacturers like Lamy, there is a looong list of things to discuss but, basically prices are very different vs what the pen offers, this has to do with how many pens each is producing and how they make them in the firs place (pilot can make injection moulded pens in excess of thousands and those come at a lower price compared to a Leonardo pen that is made on a lathe from a solid bar and polished by hand where they make like a few hundreds of them) - and that is just the start, the list can go on and on and on
