Gee shares how a one-person machine shop for automobiles (Karas Kustoms) turned into a fountain pen brand called Karas Pen Co. Tom and I ask Gee about how she went from the pharmaceutical industry to the pen industry and how her life changed for the better because of fountain pens. We talk about the designs of the heavy metal Karas pens, the antimicrobial benefits of writing with a copper pen, and the perks to joining the Karas Pen Club. You can find an amazing price on their discontinued Render K fountain pens mentioned in this episode on the Karas website here - https://karaskust ..read more

Tom and I discuss the idea of having certified repair specialists for specific pen brands. Imagine if you have an issue with a Pelikan pen and, instead of going through warranty service, you can reach out to the retailer who will have a certified Pelikan repair specialist on staff to fix your pen.

As I rummage through my childhood, I discover that my love for the movie "The Good The Bad and The Ugly" has had an influence on my love of fountain pens. Kinda weird... but totally relevant. Trust me.

Thanks to our friend of the podcast, @jjgtme, I now have embraced the Frankenpen Waldmann Titan with the titanium Bock #5 nib that he sent me. This one act of customization has made me take another look at the idea of Frankenpens. Plus, Tom and I discuss zombie apocalypses and Resident Evil.

A pen of mine was lost for months. Finally, it surfaced, still full of green ink. I wanted to sign my name on a giant $1.32 rebate check from Rakuten. To my surprise, the pen wrote! In this episode, I share which pen it was. Tom and I also talk about some of our favorite controversial pen manufacturers. Plus, an update on my titanium watch band comparison.

My recent exploration into the world of Apple Watch Bands had me thinking about the parallels in the pen industry. Tom and I discuss pen manufacturing and whether pen brands will slap a name on cheaper pens and mark up the price. We raise questions about how much a pen is actually "Made in" a particular country and whether that matters.

I'm feeling the titanium lately, so Tom and I revisit the Waldmann Titan - a fountain pen made from solid titanium. I share my love for this pen, admit what I don't like about it, and discuss whether it should be considered a "grail" pen. We also compare it against another pen made with unique materials.
