Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the Rosewood and Ebony versions?

Both are genuine solid wood, but they differ in colour, grain, and weight. Rosewood offers warm reddish-brown tones and a slightly lighter feel. Ebony is a very dense, dark wood with a near-black appearance and a noticeably heavier, more substantial hand feel. Both develop a natural patina with use.

Is the Q1 too short to write with comfortably?

The Q1 is designed as a short pocket pen, but the cap posts firmly onto the barrel to bring it to a comfortable writing length. Most users find the chubby grip diameter actually reduces hand fatigue compared to standard slim pens.

Will it fit in my Hobonichi or techo planner pen loop?

Yes — that's exactly what it's made for. The Q1's compact capped length fits the pen loops on Hobonichi Weeks, A6 Hobonichi Techo, B6 Slim, and most other pocket planner loops. Always check your specific planner's loop diameter against the Q1's barrel width before purchasing.

What ink does the Q1 use?

The Q1 accepts standard international short cartridges, which are widely available from brands like Pilot, Diamine, and Monteverde. For bottled ink, pair it with an international short converter (sold separately).

Is solid wood durable for a pen?

Yes. The wood is finished and sealed to protect against everyday handling. As with all natural wood items, avoid prolonged exposure to water or extreme humidity. With normal care, the Q1 will last for years and develop a beautiful patina over time.

Which nib size should I choose for journaling?

F (Fine) is the most popular choice for techo and hobonichi journaling — it lays down a clean, controlled line on thin paper. EF suits very small handwriting or users who prefer a drier line. M gives a broader, more expressive stroke ideal for larger script or sketching.

Is this pen a good gift?

Absolutely. The natural wood body, compact size, and distinctive chubby silhouette make the Q1 a memorable gift for stationery lovers, journalers, and fountain pen enthusiasts. It ships in a presentation box, ready to gift.
