Hey,

We've recently been discussing the capless clones. Doodlebud just made a video comparing the real deal with the clones.

Weird. Maybe this is a fountain pen thing that I'm unaware of, but the green-and-yellow grid surface in the background looks exactly like a self-healing surface used for cutting substances with Exacto blades that I have.

I guess that there's nothing wrong with using it as a backing to write on, but it's not something that I'd have immediately associated with fountain pens.

Is this some sort of thing of which I'm unaware?

The guy is also using graph paper, so maybe he just likes the aesthetic as a backdrop.

I'm pretty sure you're correct about that grid. Also, I've never seen it used with fountain pens before.

It's just a cutting board, yeah.
