That's definitely me, manly and pesto sauce green. :)

Hulk? :P

 

 

Hi David,
Those gold Edison nibs look pretty desirable!

 

attika - where do you get those nice Diamine glass bottles? They don't look like the ones regularly offered.

I've bought them form store in Budapest. I don't know if they only have these or the plastic ones as well, but whenever I've ordered from there I got them in a glass bottle.
The only plastic bottle I have - Sargasso Sea - is what I got from a great FPN member in the UK.

Those Diamine bottles look like the 1 fluid ounce bottles (nominally 28.4ml, but which can be filled to 30ml) used by Diamine for some 'private label' inks such as Yard-O-Led branded ink, also for the 30ml size of Registrar's Ink (at least in the picture on the Diamine web site, which has an incorrect aspect ratio).

 

The regular range of Diamine fountain pen inks is in 30ml plastic bottles or 80ml square base glass bottles.

Yes David, those are the bottles. I've got all my Diamine inks in those so far...(china blue, midnight, onyx, chocolate brown, ancient copper, oxblood)

 

It looks like your shop has made special arrangements with Diamine to buy the regular range of Diamine fountain pen inks in 30ml glass bottles. As Saskia notes, these small glass bottles are not routinely used for Diamine fountain pen ink.

@Uncle Red

I almost thought you would never choose an avatar.

You chosen it wisely. :bunny01:

I love it.

 

@Attila

I get more and more the impression that you are a sheen junkie ;)

I'm feeling like a very small, terrified mouse right now.

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.

So... I might have got a new pen again...

A Namiki Falcon. (Yes, it is still branded as Namiki instead of Pilot. They renamed it recently, did they not? )

The pen is so easy to mess up with finger prints and dirty hands, and even paper fluff. :( So pretty!

 

Ink used is Diamine Ancient Copper.

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

The Falcon is one great pen, I love mine. They did rename it recently but for some reason they still sell the old version along with the new one. I don't really like the version with rhodium accent so I was glad they didn't discontinue it, as I bought mine a bit after it was renamed.

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
    • adamselene
      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
