Leonardo - Urushi Essenza Aka Tamenuri 2022 Pen Venture Exclusive (LTD

Pen Venture brings forward a new project with Leonardo Officina Italiana, the 4th in line for 2022, a collaboration that resulted in an exclusive model - Urushi Essenza.

With a minimalist version body shape that was coated in multiple urushi layes by Teodor Oneata (PenTeo), a Romanian artist established in the Czech Republic, this time we opted for a no clip fountain pen (we offer clips only on demand - check our video overview for an example, and mention in order notes if you want the clip).

We chose to work with Teo not only because of his talent and his pen making craftsmanship, but also his knowledge in applying the urushi coating. Our choice for the technique used on this model is Aka-Tamenuri, a beautiful red composition that, just like water in a pond, at the fountain pens edges it reflects more light, revealing a lighter red.

The depth of the red color and the quality of the lacquer finishing make this fountain pen one of our best accomplishments after nine months of work, so we chose a name to match it - Essenza - our passion and our drive to accomplish our goals, and make our dreams come true.

Urushi Essenza comes with all the qualities already known from Leonardo Officina Italiana in a luxurious and dynamic package - a high quality Japanese ebonite body, a piston filling system that you can disassemble with the piston tool, a size #8, 14k Gold nib, and a heat set ebonite feeder in red to match the color of the fountain pen.

A limited edition of only 13 pieces + 1 Artist Proof summing up to 14 writing instruments, this collection is presented in a handmade oak box, created by a talented local woodworker, naturally died with vinegar to preserve the beauty of the wood texture.

Excellent

Very interesting pen, well balanced and with a clip that helps to carry in the jacket pocket. Excellent article

Pilot Urushi perfection

Magnificent in its simplicity. The nib is tuned to perfection. The perfect size for most hands. A smooth no feedback nib that is very forgiving and is left hand friendly. The Urushi is smooth radiating an out of this world brilliance, paint strokes are evident with a 10x loop. And of course the fit and finish and Pilots quality control is flawless perfection.

Leonardo Momento: Momentous

The Leonardo Momento is a magnificent writing instrument. The grey translucent body give's a hint of its interior and allows you to see thr ink level. The feel on the the body is similar to the lava on a Visconti Homo Sapiens. The gold colored steel nib explodes with the name Leonardo surrounded with flourishes. The stub nib writes with minimal feedback and allows for some very nice line variation. It is an Excellent choice for left handed writers. Overall the fit and finish is flawless.

Stunning Leonardo Momento Magico Primary Manipulation 1 by Jonathon Brooks

This is my first Leonardo pen and I am very impressed so far! I also have never tried a piston fill system and I am liking it. The pen is absolutely stunning and I do know that each pen by Jonathon Brooks is different however I was sent photos of the exact pen I was buying, of each side of it and for this I am very grateful to Pen Venture and their fabulous customer service. I was hesitant about ordering as I am in Canada but the shipping was very speedy and the "tariffs" were minimal!! I would not hesitate to order from Pen Venture again as this Leonardo is exquisite to write with as well as to look at!

OUTSTANDING

If you want heavy-duty protection for your pens without the maintenance or bulk of leather, this case delivers everything you need in a sleek, robust, incredible functional design. Highly recommended!
