As many of you are aware, I have purchased a handful of inexpensive Chinese fountain pens for the purpose of seeing for myself the quality, or lack thereof, as compared to what most pen enthusiast would consider to be "real" pens from the likes of Parker, Montblanc, Pelikan, etc.... So please Relax as I unbox a Duke Leonardo Da Vinci model. Update: I actually have grown very fond of this pen. Its writing qualities equal or surpass some of my favorite pens.

    @totoro8179112 years ago I originally found one of your videos looking at fountain pens. Then, I ended up watching even more videos because for some reason they're extremely relaxing >.> Subscribed. 1

    @EdnaMillion.11 years ago I like the way it says "de" Vinci on the packaging. Attention to detail not a high priority. 1

    @RelaxingASMR12 years ago I did not know it then, but from what I can tell now is that the carbon fiber is actually the colorful strands inside the barrel of the pen. Thanks for watching:) 1

    @JAPEASMR7 years ago This was one of the first (quite possibly the first) videos that introduced me to ASMR! 1

    @RelaxingASMR12 years ago Quite all right. I didn't take it that "you" wanted to buy them. I knew your question was hypothetical in nature. Glad you liked the video:-)

    @RelaxingASMR12 years ago Parker is my favorite brand. I prefer the vintage Parkers though. My oldest parker fountain pen was manufactured in the 1920s. I still use it. And then there is arguably the greatest fountain pen ever produced, the Parker 51. Such a wonderful pen. Made from about 1939 through 1972 I think. ... 1

    @JGratsch12 years ago Why criticize someone for sharing a part of their life with other people? The people who enjoy these types of videos are appreciative of the effort put forth.

    @RelaxingASMR12 years ago For professional reasons. Thanks for watching:)

    @RelaxingASMR12 years ago As far as I know Duke pens are manufactured in Shangai, China by the Shanghai G. Crown Fountain Pen Company. Their line of pens called Duke is registered in Europe as German Duke Lux Pen GmbH. Duke's Research and Development branch is located in Germany. I have heard that Duke's nibs are German made. Hope this clears things up for you:) ...

    @muskndusk11 years ago I 'think', but I'm not sure, that they take international standard converters. To be sure, try an international standard cartridge, if it fits, so will a converter.

    @osuballer9812 years ago you seem like a pen expert, how's a 10 kt rolled gold cross pen to you guys?

    @TheEvilWarlordZarcotimas12 years ago That doesn't ruin the experience unless you let it ruin the experience.

    @Remington187512 years ago Would you say that this particular pen performed best out of the box?
  • @
    @RelaxingASMR11 years ago It's a steel nib. I wished it was made of gold:)

    @242Hatem11 years ago Aveti dreptate lumea evolueaza foarte repede.Toate stilourile din videoclipuri sunt ale dumneavoastra?
  • @
    @muskndusk11 years ago In your video, the nib looks gold-plated, but on the ebay page where I've ordered mine, it looks like steel. Please tell me which it is, otherwise I'll be concerned that I've a different model. Thanks.

    @gulparviz12 years ago do you like Parker pen? are they good?
  • @
    @RelaxingASMR12 years ago @JGratsch Thanks for defending what we do here. I removed that persons comment so as to not junk up the place.
  • @
    @RelaxingASMR11 years ago Da. Toate țarcurile din videoclipurile mele îmi aparțin. Sunt un om norocos în această privință:)

    @RelaxingASMR12 years ago Not really. To begin with, my collection isn't really that large. Most are pens that have been handed down to me from my dad, who in turn received them from his dad. So you see, they are family heirlooms and very sentimental to me. I use most of them and when they are not inked and in my regualr rotation, I store them in an antique tool chest that also has been handed down to me in the same way. When the time comes, my son will be in possession of the chest and the collection that waits within. ...

    @BasementShopGuy12 years ago I bought this pen (different color) because of your test-writing-video. It did seem like a nice pen. However, can you help answer a question - these are Chinese? But on the eBay store I bought it on, it claims the country of manufacture is Germany. I also see that alot of eBay stores claim the nib is German Iridium. I'm confused... ...

    @sailinginps11 years ago Does anyone know what kind of converter does Duke take? I purchased one very similar to Da Vinci series. The converter that came with broke only after a couple of turns to draw ink from the bottle! Talking about low quality. In any case, I am trying to find a converter for it. Does anyone know? ...
  • @
    @RelaxingASMR12 years ago Hi. I'm pretty sure that this pen came from Ebay. Good luck on your search:)
  • @
    @RelaxingASMR12 years ago Your asking the wrong person friend. I value pens that lay down controlled rivers of ink and last a lifetime. Sorry that I don't have a better answer for you. Thanks for watching:)

    @RelaxingASMR12 years ago I wondered if it was a joke but didn't want to hurt any feelings in case it wasn't. I'll remember you in case you pull that business again lol!
