Vincenzo, first of all, congratulations on acquiring this Scribo model. Your video did the Scribo justice. Although my upper price limit is definitely 350 euros, this Scribo made my principle waver for a moment. Not many FP's can present their beauty and value in a video or photo. The La Dotta al Zigant can, which certainly has something to do with your great presentation.
Hi Vincenzo! Your La Dotta is certainly a beautiful pen! That resin is amazing! My favorite design of the Scribo pens is the Piuma. I just like the looks of that one a little better, and it is slightly less expensive than the larger ones. Will be interesting to see your report on all the grail pens at the end of the year. Thanks for sharing the amazing Scribo!
Vincenzo, what a gorgeous pen! I have the Turrita model with a non-flex nib. I heard you say that you are unable to get inside the body to fully clean it out by turning the section off the body. This is both true and false. True because it’s not threaded. However, those dear geniuses at Scribo have created a pen that can be fully disassembled for cleaning by using the end cap…much the way your Asvine V200 does (an excellent pen to practice disassembly on before tackling your Scribo). Except you’ll not need a wrench with the Scribo like the supplied in Asvine’s packaging. When I took mine apart for cleaning, quite by accident (it almost came apart on its own, it was that easy to take apart and put back together), I discovered the section sits inside the body like a hex nut. Your short Scribo video shows you exactly how it’s assembled. Not only did this help me with a very quick and convenient cleaning, but it let me decide how the resin pattern in the section and body sit together for best display. I. Love. This. Pen! Hope this helps keep your own beauty clean and happy and long-lived. Enjoy!
Thank you Vincenzo so much for the nib comparisons and detailed explanation around the Feel the Flex fine nib. Such a helpful video for the fountain pen lovers and what graceful handwriting! What a joy to watch you making those strokes with these amazing pens.
I received my scribo travertino today. I am really impressed by the way it writes. I wish they get their pricing to a more competitive state so they can go more mainstream. A wonderful pen. Have fun with yours.
❤ It's stunning Vincenzo! I adore it! I think I would go for the sistern resin. I love the combination, but it would be a tough decision! Thank you very much! Lisa ❤
Wow that’s a gorgeous pen. Thanks for sharing. I’m just getting into fountain pens but want to try a flex nib someday. Will add this one to my wishlist. Have a good one.
You appear to be a lovely man, with a lovely way of delivering what is a lovely content - and, I will add, I enjoyed a lovely experience watching this video. I subscribed. I forwarded this video to Gianluca Malaguti who, I'm sure, will relish to learn what the OMAS ex employees are up to. Bravò, from a fellow Neapolitan. By the way, which was that guest shop that started your passion? La Casa Della Penna in Corso Garibaldi, in Naples?
Vincent please, we need a nib comparison video: Scribo vs vintage Omas vs modern Omas, you can do it! This would be great because Scribo nibs are the heir of vintage Omas (made by the same machine). Also you mentioned some other pens, as far as Pilot goes a closer comparison would be 743 (FA) or 912 (FA), not the 823 (FA nib not a standard option). 743 and 823 are basically the same pen but filling systems are different (converter vs vac). Also that Scribo ink looks lovely!
Do take care when using the vintage flex nibs. My vintage OMAS (1950's) has a cracked nib because someone went crazy on it and it split partways. It's still usable, but you can see the crack that goes through the breather hole. I've seen a lot of cracked vintage nibs because of people over stressing them
I fully agree with your comments, and probably one of the best nib to switch instantly from a normal writing to a true full flex. Feel the Flex and thank you for this review 😀!
Been thinking about getting a Scribo for a long long time now. Still haven't pulled the trigger on it. I dislike that their pens don't post, but I have an ASC that doesn't post either and i can I guess get around that fact. Awesome video my friend.
For 600-700 you can find a Pilot Custom Urushi. If you like the softness of this Scribo but able to write everyday, the custom Urushi is the best by far.
You speak of soft nib, but I really wonder if the pilot custom Arushi is softer than this one. I have my doubts but I can assure you that both the 845 and the big urushi are on my list.
@@fountainpentherapy the 845 is not worth the money in my opinion. But the Custom Urushi no 30 nib is one of the top 2-3 nibs in world. You will be blown away. All my recs come by way of ShakMD, as he has every pen.
That is a truly gorgeous pen. The resin somewhat resembles the resin in a special edition Esterbrook/Ferris Wheel Press collaboration pen; the Nebulous Plume; that was inspired by President John Kennedy's speech about " we will go to the moon, and do the other things, not because it is easy but because it is hard." Diamondcast resin is a creation of McKenzie Penworks and has been patented by him.
Thank you for your review and demonstration of this pen and nib. It is clear that I would not be a user of the Ultra Flex from FPR. I would say that my preference would be for a soft nib, one that provides character to my writing. The Pilot Soft nibs, the Jowo Elastic nibs and the Pelikan Souveran nibs, especially the M1000 would be for me. The Scribo nib would fit in the Soft nib category. As for price, the Pilot and Leonardo Momento Zero Grande is in my price range.
Vincenzo PeytonStreetPens listed an original Delta Dolce V Oversized with original box never inked millennium nib. Thought you may have mentioned you were looking for an original?
Funny you should mention the quill nib. Stay tuned for my mag 600 flex showdown and my recently acquired quail nib will be part of it. Simply put that quill nib is another pleasant surprise along the same lines as this pen

I agree with you it’s really pricey but man does it give me fountain pen therapy
Wow what a stunningly beautiful pen. I found it at Goulet in the USA for around $590 and bought it!
What a beautiful Pen Vincenzo I hope to have a Scrub one day thanks for the video!
Thanks for watching!
Wow. That is a gorgeous pen!
It has quickly become one of my favourite

That’s a great idea. I’m presently working on a flex showdown video but the OS comparison may be very interesting for the future.

There is no question that Scribo is the best fountain pen experience for the money!
An absolutely amazing surprise yes a little pricey but worth every penny

The advantage over this one is that the pen is adorned by that beautiful in-house nib

@@jeffreyclayman6922 too late i bought it already. lol but don’t tell anyone it’s a surprise for next week
@@fountainpentherapy lol!
@@fountainpentherapy Had you bought it from Peyton Street or was my post just a coincidence?
How would you compare it to a Pineider Quill nib? I have an Arco Firefox and love it.
Funny you should mention the quill nib. Stay tuned for my mag 600 flex showdown and my recently acquired quail nib will be part of it. Simply put that quill nib is another pleasant surprise along the same lines as this pen
My scribo 14k ef flex writes too broad.. Similar to your fine flex if not broader.. Consistency may be an issue. Thanks for the video.
I have no issues with my pen, not at all, but I agree with you that the line with that flex is much broader
