ANECDOTE

Community Raffle Raises Big Support

  • The Pen Addict raffle raised $40,850 for St. Jude via community support and donated prizes.
  • Brad coordinated winners and began shipping prizes after the final tally.
INSIGHT

Premium Nib Improves Consistency

  • Ashley's Kaweco premium nib test showed consistent, smoother, wetter, and stiffer writing compared to stock nibs.
  • Premium tipping size was visually obvious on broader nibs but still affected line width on finer sizes.
ADVICE

Sell Distinct Nib Styles, Not Just Upgrades

  • If Kaweco offers a premium nib, they should also consider selling truly distinct nib shapes (e.g., italics) as premium upgrades.
  • Charging more makes sense for special nibs that add real variety rather than just improving stock quality.
