Shipping is still ongoing. You may receive a shipping notification in the next few days. This is part of the process of putting the final order together. Once you receive the notification your pen is only a day or two away from shipping. After the pen is completed I go through the entire order to make sure all of your options are correct. Have to say looking at these pens hundreds of times during the manufacturing process i have caught one or two that were incorrect and had to change a nib. All these pens start looking the same. But I assure you that your pen will be as perfect as my talent allows. Thanks for your patience.
Videotaping of the next KS is being completed in the next few weeks. I am extremely excited of for the new pen. It is a totally different concept. It is designed to go with a leather Journal Cover. Still finalizing the leather cover options. Looking at producing the pen in Aluminum (both raw brushed and brushed anodized), brass and bronze. If you would like to have a sneak peak and be part of a focus group that will be instrumental in determining the final offered product send me a message and I will add you to the email list.
