FP Geeks has an article, with pictures, discussing the new Sheaffer Sagaris due to be released in October. It's good to see Sheaffer coming out with some new models. The Sagaris has a traditional design. What do you think about this new Shaeffer line?

Feh. OK I guess, nothing new.

Less over-the-top hideous than the taranis (lol: phone auto-corrects that to "tetanus") but you can get a NOS for that money that will look about the same but will be a much better pen.

It does have a certain degree of "yet again" to it, but for those who incline towards traditional shapes and who what an new yet reasonably-priced pen, I looks like a good bet. The most admirable thing I see there is the smoothly sloped transition from joint to section; so many pens of this shape have a sharp step at the joint, which can trouble the user's hand.

Strangely enough, I find both the Sagaris and the Taranis aesthetically appealing. True, there was a time when I thought the design of the Taranis was a bit... well, strange, but I've since gotten over the shock. I'm actually considering getting one, depending on how it looks in person (I've only seen pictures of it so far), as well as how well it writes.

 

The Sagaris, on the other hand, immediately made me think of my Prelude, thanks to it's conservative design. The sloped (chamfered, I should say) transition from the barrel to the grip section is a huge design win in my opinion, as is the redesigned nib scrollwork. I also think that the resin section is way nicer to the touch than the crappy (I'm sorry, but it's true) plastic on the Prelude.

I have been eyeing up the Sagaris in Wine color as an inexpensive gift the children can chip in on and give to their dear loving Father.

Next I would have to decide what color ink would be cool to use in a pen of that color?

Be Happy, work at it. Namaste

My bad. I missed that question of yours. Yes is the answer. I really like how the Sagaris has revealed itself over time.

I just got a Sagaris, for under $20.00, with a brushed chrome finish. It's a nice writer, but I was a bit surprised at how broad a line the fine nib on mine lays down. I'm using the cart that came with it. It's a more a medium in my mind, but It's not so broad a line that I'm disappointed.

 

It posts well but it's far too top heavy when posted for my taste. I really like the design on the nib-very Art Deco. The transition from section to body is great for people who prefer to hold their pens higher.

 

I do think the wine colored one is the nicest, if I could have got that color for ht e same price I would have.

 

All in all, a decent pen.

 

Pax,

John

      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
