Hi Brian - I love my Herald.  I love the design, material, and it writes absolutely to my taste - you got the wetness and smoothness just right.  It is always in my shirt pocket and I find that I invent reasons to write with it - I like it that much - and that is after I have had it for two weeks when the honeymoon should be over.

I appreciate that it is still possible to get incredible hand-craftsmanship at a price that makes factory made pens seem expensive.  Well done, man.  I'm a fan.

You will be pleased, I am betting, when you receive your Herald.  I received the exact same one complete with Bexley f nib. This is not a review, more of a preview.  The ebonite is sweet- Brian mentions on his site that the Sailor King of Pen provided his design with some inspiration and I understand why.

I have a King of Pen, and the Herald is quite a respectable cover. The nib, as you expect, is smooth, and Brian mentioned in his accompanying letter that he adjusted it to his standard which is fine by me. The pen is long, but well balanced- I have not had time this weekend to write extensively with it, but it will not be the distributed weight of the pen that tires me- the pen is not "light," I would consider it somewhere between light and medium- a nice handful. 

Craftsmanship is fine, the ebonite (the red/black) is interestingly striated and emits that wonderful sulphury odor when rubbed.

All in all- a fine pen- plus Brian is a fine person to work with- listens and expedites- what's not to like? Hope your Herald is as much of a pleasure as mine.

The pen is absolute excellence. The finish is beautiful, the size is ideal, and the shape is utterly appealing. I enjoy the compromise between size and weight; I find this large pen to be substantial in the hand, but not heavy.
