== Leonardo Pens ==


'''Myke Hurley:''' Says it looks like a Leonardo. Which I can see.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. I'm trying to figure. Figure out the shape of this pen. Or like.

'''Myke Hurley:''' It's a. The. Monte Grappa. Monte Grappa.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. It's close to that. You know what this pen. The immediate thought I had. When I saw this pen. Because I saw the green one. Was like that. Twisby special edition. They did. With the green. Acrylic. Yeah. That's exactly what it looks like to me. I. I don't think I like the look of these. Brett. Well. It's different. Right. This is. I. I appreciate this. More than I do something like the Loch Ness. Because it is different. Maybe it works. Maybe it doesn't. We'll get to why it might not here in a minute.

'''Myke Hurley:''' The thing that intrigues me. The most. About these. Is from what CY said. These have king of pen nibs in them. Right. Now that is like. Okay. I will look at this. Right. Like. Now. You've got me interested.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. So. The thing that got me about these. Is. The shape. The way the. End of the pen. Has. A band around it. Makes it look like it's going to be a piston filler. Right. I was like. If they made this size pen. Into like a Japanese eyedropper. With a king of pen. They can charge. What they're asking for this pen. And. People will buy it. But if it's another. Like. Super size. King of pen. Um. With a different shape. Different materials. And they're going to charge me. Over a thousand dollars for it. Which is the price of these pens. Yeah. I was about. Yeah. Let's not. Let's not beat around the bush anymore. I'm less interested. Again. When I see that. Right.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' These pens are. A thousand dollars.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' To me. They're. They're at least telling me a different story. It's like. Look. We want to try something different here. Um. It. But. At the same. Time. I say that.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I have to question. How much of a sailor pen. This is. Right. Why do I buy sailor pens? Well. There. Is a style. An aesthetic. And. A look. That I appreciate from them. This is. And the only part. That you're getting from this. Is the nib. Yeah.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I. Look. I am. This is one of those pens. That like. When. One. Crosses my path. I'll be really interested. To look at it. But. You have. Hit on exactly. What I. Couldn't think about. Is like. This pen. That's not a sailor pen to me. It just isn't. Like. There's two pages to this PDF. The second page. Well. We're going to get to that.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Is some.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Other king of pens. And I look at those. And I'm like. Yep. That's a sailor pen. But. These other ones. Feel. European.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' That's fair.

'''Myke Hurley:''' And. That style. Is. Is great.

'''Myke Hurley:''' But. It's not.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' You know what's really popular. In Japan. Myke.
