Who ever is in charge of this sale, Massdrop or the seller, could you please do a sale for the ballpoint version. I'm not a clean enough writer to use a fountain pen but I would love the ballpoint one without having to spend double to get it with a pen I may never use.
St.DrogoAs someone noted below, the fountain pen is a rebranded Baoer 3035. While Italix nibs make the FP worth consideration, on account of the nib alone, this doesn't hold true for ballpoints. If you know some Chinese websites, go there and search for "You 3035". Or generally "3035 ballpoint".
keybersThe Italix Deacon's Doodle ballpoint is adapted to take all G2 refills and derivatives. The tip of any refill made by Parker, Faber Castell, Pelikan Schmidt etc will operate in this pen without sticking. Every Italix pen goes through the workshop to have work performed on them, no pen of ours is just rebranded.
MrPen I totally respect your preference of using pies unposted. Unfortunately, I’ve had the experience of a nice pen rolling off my desk and hitting nib first. Plus, I like the way that a pen can be balanced when posted, like the Italix Parsons Essential. So, as you design your new pens, please remember those of us who prefer to post. Posting deeply and securely is wondrous, in my humble opinion! :-)
