A little while ago I was gifted a Gold Bock no8 nib. I kept it to one side for a while as I wasn't sure I liked the idea of a nib that size, but a couple of weeks ago I decided to make myself a pen for it.
I made a slightly wider pen than I usually do, meaning 14mm cap threads (instead of my go-to 13mm).
Having used the pen for some time I am so taken by the nib that I went and bought a titanium version so I could try that too, and I wasn't disappointed.
Anyway here is the pen. It has sterling silver accent rings and black acrylic finials.
Cheers
Ash

Wow, looks stunning Ash. Usual quality and photo is top end too.

However, size 8 wow. Know size 6 felt big but that must feel like using a shovel to write with.

No I am not sad for this post! The cat jogged my hand when I was aiming at like! Curses!
I think that is a fantastic pen. Superb piece of work.
