Here is yet another fountain pen on loan from my pen-friend Murray MacKay! Thanks, Murray! This is the Opus 88 Koloro. I unbox it, talk about the parts and features of the pen, provide some size comparisons and measurements, and then do a writing sample. After the writing sample, I talk about what I like and what I don’t like about the pen. Please feel free to use the chapters provided below to skip to various parts of the review.
