Been a bit quiet as I've been busy and not feeling well, but the new shiver of Sharks I ordered back in February arrived yesterday.

All new colors except black (which is one I had to trash, so that's good for me), half are semi-transparent/translucent, a couple more are slightly translucent.

The nibs are not hooded on these, and the sections are completely round. Both seem like downgrades to me. I liked the hooded nibs.

I'll clean at least one and test it when spoons replenish.

@jimp oh that's kind of weird they did that
@turgon Yeah. The listing did show the new pen correctly, so it wasn't misrepresented, just weird changes in design, I guess. The last set I ordered was in Feb 2024, so it had been two years.
@jimp
We bought several in 2018 and they're not hooded. Maybe they just use what they have leftover from other designs.
