Wahl Eversharp Decoband London Smoke Grey
Wahl Eversharp Decoband London Smoke Grey
The new Wahl Eversharp Decoband London Smoke Grey is one of the most highly anticipated pens yet released by this revitalized and historic company. Using handcrafted celluloid originally produced by the OMAS Pen Company, this stunning and evocative pen is provided with an 18k solid gold semi-flex nib and pneumatic filling system.
Our complimentary nib tuning adjusts optimum pressure and ink flow to your own personal preferences. Choose the Goldflex nib if you would also like one of our exclusive nib customizations, which add to the character and distinctiveness of your writing on the page.
The London Smoke Grey is a fountain pen redolent of fog, evening twilight, and mystery. The pen is supplied with your choice of 18k solid gold nib - each nib provides for line-width variation by allowing the user to gently vary pressure while writing. Choose the Goldflex for the smoother writing experience or if you would like to add an additional nib customization, or the Superflex to provide for the greatest possible line-width variation via the semi-soft qualities of the nib alone.
The innovative pneumatic filling system with its generous 2.1 ml capacity allows the pen to fill using any bottled fountain pen ink. An attractive presentation box with all paperwork is included.
Available supplies of the Italian celluloid used for this pen are very limited - we strongly suggest ordering soon to make sure of securing one of these beautiful writing instruments for yourself. We are an authorized Wahl Eversharp dealer.

Customization Guide
Stub
|
Above is the same size nib after a regrind to Stub. A regrind to Stub is often a good place to start for your first customization. A Stub nib provides broad down-strokes and narrow cross-strokes while writing, and is less position-sensitive on the paper than the crisper and slightly more demanding cursive italic.
|
Cursive Italic
|
More demanding, but also providing crisper edges and more line-width variation, is the very popular customization to Cursive Italic. This also provides broad down-strokes and narrow cross-strokes, but is also more position-sensitive in terms of how the pen is held and requires more skill on the part of the user. This is a common customization for artists and calligraphers, but is still smooth enough to make for a good everyday writer.
|
Formal Italic
 |
Formal Italic is an even crisper and more demanding customization than either cursive italic or left oblique, and is usually utilized for calligraphy and by the most experienced users. This provides broad down-strokes and narrow cross-strokes, with even crisper corners and edges than a cursive italic - this is an extremely position-sensitive customization.
|
Left Oblique
 |
Commonly used for signatures and correspondence, the Left Oblique customization provides broad diagonal strokes and narrow cross-strokes, and like a cursive italic, is more position-sensitive and demanding than a stub. The whole pen must be rotated to the left in order to write smoothly, without skipping. The "Left" in Left Oblique refers to the cut of the nib itself, and does not refer to the handedness of the writer. |
Architect's Point (Also for Arabic and Hebraic writing)
 |
A more exotic regrind is that to Architect’s Point. Named after the style of writing used by Frank Lloyd Wright, this regrind is the opposite of cursive italic, and provides for broad cross-strokes and narrow down-strokes. This also tends to be a particularly useful customization for those practicing Arabic or Hebraic calligraphy. |
Spencerian
 |
Perhaps our most popular customization, but also one of the most advanced, the Mottishaw Spencerian Customization has gained special attention from being featured in a customer's YouTube video which has now received over twelve million views! The Spencerian starts from a semi-soft 14k nib and adds additional flex and a regrind to needlepoint to create a specialized writing point used for copperplate calligraphy.
