This is the Platinum Classic Maki-e Fountain Pen from Pen Chalet that I’ve been using recently. It’s such a pretty pen, with such a great nib.
Pen Chalet very nicely gave this to me so we can give it away to a blog reader. Before we do that, though, I’ve been putting it through its paces. And I wanted to highlight the pen a little, now that I’ve been using it for a month.

September 10, 2016 update: Nicola did not claim the ink, so Caroube de Chypre is on its way to the second-place finisher Raffaello Palandri.
We have a winner for the giveaway for J. Herbin 1670 Caroube de Chypre, thanks to the Random.org, and that is Nicola. Congratulations to Nicola, and thanks to everyone who entered. This ink comes from Pen Chalet. We’re giving away a Platinum pen next, so watch the blog for that, too, in the coming days.
Nicola, please use the Contact menu at the top of the page to send me your full name and mailing address.
Why is that photo so gigantic? Because we have gigantic news. A giveaway from Pen Chalet.
Also, I like the box a lot. It’s a simple cardboard box, but attractive. This box does a lot with a little.
Inside the box, from the very nice people at Pen Chalet, is a fountain pen for Fountain Pen Follies readers.
