<\/div>\n

NOTE: This post closes out my 2025 end-of-year<\/a> and 2026 start-of-year<\/a> series, and I’m looking forward to a break. I will likely post once a week at most through the end of February.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

To start, allow me to review last year’s wish list<\/a> \u2014 you can also check out my earlier wish lists: 2024<\/a> | 2023<\/a> | 2022<\/a> | 2021<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I received my commission from Stanford Pen Studio \u2014 pen porn post coming soon \u2014 and my two Intwana models \u2014 Chameleon<\/a> and Seahorse<\/a>. I also got my Tailored Pen Co. commission. And, as you almost certainly know, I finally got a Drewnem Pisane pen<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

I don’t have a real wish list this year, surprisingly, but I do have some general interests that I might make an effort to get. As a reminder, I organize this list alphabetically by pen company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Commissioned<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Drewnem Pisane<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I have a not-quite-commission in the works with Kamila and Marcin. As they have time, they’re testing whether one of their “braided” wood blanks<\/a> can handle being turned into their swirl model<\/a>. If it can, I can buy it. If it can’t, I’ll get a standard “braided” wood pen.

Mayfair Pens<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

At the DC Pen Show last year, I commissioned a Royal Eowyn in a granite-like material I’d purchased. Ben expects to have it ready for me at the BWIPS this year.

Interested in<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As I mentioned previously, my wish list this year is more of an “interested in” list. I don’t know that I’ll go out of my way to buy any of these pens, but if the stars align, I’ll probably pick one or more up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Benu<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

While I don’t care for Benu’s ridiculous release schedule, I do lust after their painted pens. The ones I like best are the Tribute Bennu<\/a>, Tribute Witches’ Brew<\/a>, Talisman Stone of Heaven<\/a>, Euphoria London set<\/a>, and Euphoria Paris set<\/a>.

Cypress<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I’m still interested in the Maple in the Forest<\/a>. I also like their Mosaic Raden series; and I’ve wanted an Aka Tamenuri pen for ages and Cypress makes a nice one.
Website<\/a> | Instagram<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stanford Pen Studio<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

My ultimate goal is to have a pen from each of Stanford Pen Studio’s partner artists. I don’t have any pens that feature Zelna le Roux’s or Renee Gerstner’s art. I also don’t have Jabulani models from Brandon Lodewyk, Lisa Strachan, or Carla Nel.

\n\n\n\n

So… yeah… that’s my current “wish list,” such as it is. I’m happy I don’t have a long list, because that may help me stick to my 30 pens or less goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Are any of these pens on your wish list? Are there any interesting pens or makers that you think I should know about? Let me know in the comments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make sure to subscribe to my blog<\/a> or follow me on Instagram<\/a> so you don’t miss any posts. I generally post at least once a week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
