Pengrafik has two exclusive pens for Manila Pen Show 2023.

The first one is an ube-themed made by UK-based The Good Blue. Details are as follows c/o Kailash of Pengrafik:

The barrel and cap are machined from high grade 6082 aluminum with Ceratoke coating.The grip section is machined from CZ121 brass. It is precision textured with a surface roughness for ergonomic grip. Uses Jowo Standard #6 Nib Unit (F, M, B, Fine Flex w/ Plastic feed, Fine Flex w/ Polymer feed) with a converter.

Prices:
1. P8,900 for nibs: F, M, B, Fine Flex  w/ Plastic feed
2. P9,800 for nib: Fine Flex w/ Polymer feed
3. P12,900 for the NEW Alchemy Flex nib w/ Polymer feed

Specifications:

Length: 130mm
Length uncapped: 127mm (inc. nib)
Diameter: 12mm
Section diameter: 12mm
Weight: 31gms (with nib unit and cc)

1. F,M, B are regular non-flex nibs.
2. Fine Flex with a plastic feed … is the basic flex version they have.
3. Fine Flex w/ Polymer feed is better than above since it has a better feed with improved flow.
4. NEW Alchemy Flex nib … the best of three flex nibs… it’s super super soft. A totally different beast than the standard flex.

The second one is by Leonardo Officina Italiana, with only 20 made just for the event. Here are the details for the pen which is worth Php14,295 each:

Inks

Newcomer On Inks is offering new flavors with this two exclusive inks, Kare-kare and Bagoong. Here are the details from the inkmaker, together with information about their two non-exclusive colors:

Inspired by the quintessential Filipino dish, Kare-kare captures the vibrant tones of yellow and orange that remind us of the rich peanut sauce that Kare-kare is known for.

Meanwhile, Bagoong Alamang starts off as a brownish color and dries into a stunning magenta-ish red, reminiscent of the savory shrimp paste that pairs perfectly with Kare-kare.

The two inks can be bought separately, but like the iconic Filipino dish, they are best served together.

In addition to these, we are adding two non-exclusive inks, both of which are also inspired by Filipino flavors.

Laing is a multishading green ink that shows some brown undertones, capturing the rich and spicy taste of the Bicolano dish.

Meanwhile, Turon is a golden brown ink, reminiscent of the sweet and crunchy banana-filled snack that we love.

20ml bottles go for Php220 while 50ml bottles cost Php500
