I saw a ballpoint in there!!

 

Yep, it's a Fisher Space Pen.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

I think I got slightly nauseous! It's fun to hear that nib "talk" while you're writing with it.

Breathe. Take one step at a time. Don't sweat the small stuff. You're not getting older, you are only moving through time. Be calm and positive.

This morning, I have my Pelikan M215 inked up with Yama Budo. I spent last night doing a little nib grinding and polishing on a translucent hard arkansas stone to get rid of some skippiness I was having with some Montblanc burgundy ink. It's all fixed now and ready to calibrate tuning forks with it's singing nib. :)

While my family was visiting for a week I am two (plus) pages behind on the posts....

 

@dcpritch - :D I am pleased my suggestions helped with the repair of your Inkograph! I must confess I am currently using my Inkograph during the day, writes smooth, and I can fill it with any ink I choose.

 

@Enderkrk - I like your avatar scorpion (s)he looks ready to test some new ink!

 

@carretera18 - I wish I knew enough of the Inkograph history to give you accurate information. :( p.s. Richard Binder has an excellent explanation on his website of Stylographic pens.

I haven't put one up here for a little while, but I just got this one and I love it. If only it were a bit bigger. I think I got a pretty good deal on it. The seller didn't say it was flex, but I was hoping it was by the looks and I wasn't disappointed.

 

Not the best picture in the world, but it will give you an idea as to the flexibility of the nib and I think you can kind of see the chasing.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
