Kits I'd like to see

[Louis]

A bunch from Craft Supplies, not sure if they are exclusive to them or not as I do not recall seeing them elsewhere (not that I looked thoroughly either )

-Gentleman
-Zen
-Stateman
-Emperor

[Ron Journeau]

I'll second that,Louis...really like those models

[Dagwood]

Here are two I am hunting for...

First I'd like to get a Copper Sierra

Second, Sierra button click two tone chrome...

And what a great idea for a forum topic......
Not quite as high end as the Zen models Louis is looking for. Which I would probably try out if they were this side of the border.....

[Louis]

Stainless steel bottle stopper.

[Dagwood]

I know....But this one is reallllllly nice.

I agree with you Steve. I have some of these and they are very nice looking pens. There are a number of the Dayacom kits that would be nice to see in Canada. Especially some of their High End kits. I love some of their kit names such as Jr. Genteelness.

I really like the two-tone chrome finish on pens and the pearl or satin silver finish. The manufactures seem to be making more and more finishes all of the time. In some instances they will allow minimum orders to be made up of more than one plating. Just makes it a little easier to bring in new models.

[Lilian]

These are all great suggestions - keep' em coming!

I can't guarantee we'll bring everything in, but this is definitely great for us to consider when we're expanding.

Thanks:)

You're right, Louis, the Statesman is exclusive to Craft Supplies. The Gentleman pen is just like a Baron (although it takes different sized tooling).

Well, as long as we're putting a wish list together, this is my vote.......(big surprise)

The El Toro Fountain Pen

[slivermetimber]

I'll Echo Tim (Pennmanship's) El Toro what a fabulous looking pen!

The Baron is only available with the threaded end you can't get it with the smooth end.

There is a second style of Statesman pen that Craft Supplies does not sell. Dayacom calls it the Jr.Marshal pen (NEBULA). Are you restricted from buying those as well?

There is a version of this pen available from Berea Hardwoods now.

Billian, will this one be coming to WWW soon?

Hi Bryce,
We've emailed Berea to see if we can get them. I'll let you know once we hear back from them.

[Dagwood]

Awesome, Elegant Beauty will be a great looking pen.

Does anyone know if the Perfect Fit style is available in a copper style finish?

[Lilian]

We have been told that we will be able to get Berea's elegant beauty at some point but for the moment they are only available from Berea's website.

We'd have to check into that. With some platings that they don't normally carry in that model, there can be some rather large minimum order quantities involved.

Another would be the stretch rollerball. I got one from simomatra in a swap on one of the other forums. Nice looking pen and not overly expensive. Lau Lau woodworks sells them. Not the slim the other one.

According to the Craft Supplies website the Statesman is the only fountain/rollerball pen that is exclusive to them. The Jr. Statesman does not seem to be exclusive to CSUSA, only the Statesman.

That leaves a lot of Dayacom pens that are available!

[Rick Gibson]

I ordered 5 of these this afternoon. A pacifica fishers of men. Basically a sierra with the fish symbol in the bands. The only place I could find it was woodpenpro.com There are a few people I know who would love to have the pen. You can see pictures of it in BOW here. http://www.penturners.org/forum/showthread.php?t=35781

As long as we are asking I would like to see either the Little Havana Fountain pen, or the El Toro Fountain Pen.

[maxwell_smart007]

I like the unthreaded endcap on the Jr. Gent...be nice to get that up here...but in Chrome instead of rhodium so it's a bit more affordable

Hi Lars
Thanks for the vote. You're not the first to request that one. In fact, there's a thread with a poll on the site with a discussion string about this kit. At the time it didn't make sense to bring it in but we're taking another look at it.

Cheers,
Lilian

I would like to see the Streamline American - Screw Cap Roller Ball and Fountain Pen kits.

You don't have any American roller ball or fountain pen kits and I like the look of this kit a lot more than the Series 2000 versions.

[Daniel]

I'm a little late late on this conversation, but it looks like a good one.
way to many items on the list for me to remember from a casual look through.
I did notice a lot fo the pens and was sort of doing a can do that can't do that thing in my head.
One that really stood out is the sierra. the reason for this is that Rizheng has recently started offering it at a no min order required. now that is sort of mis leading because unles you come up with an order large enough to justify the postage. the price per kit goes through the roof.
there have been some questions as to the quality of Rizheng kits though. I have heard both good and bad, and experienced both good and bad.

Dayacom is the supplier of all CSUSA kits and yes all the upper end kits ae exlusive to them. about the only way to get CSUSA kits at a discount is to order enough kits from them to qualify for there discount.
CSUSA did drop there rights to the Havana line of pens though. They may have dropped there rights to the statesman jr. as well but I do not think they dropped the rights to the jr. statesman 2. which is the version that fixed some problems with version 1.

now the bad news, Dayacom has a 500 pc min order requirment, and there is no mix and match. I do hope to eventually get to where I am ordering there kits but that idea is still a long way away. I am working like a dog right now just to sell 50 drill bit sets.

I do hope I can help you all get some of this from being a wish to being a reality. and it is not impossible.

:)Wouaw ! I really like this Stretch Rollerball, where can I find it ? .... I want it !!!!
Lau Lau Woodworks seem to have minimum order of 500 :eek:

[penmanship]

I'm throwing in another vote(wish) in. I really like the Elegant Beauties!! After seeing a few of them done up, they're starting to grow on me.

Thanks,
