And One Has A Name


Newton Pens

Recommended Posts


So recently I set out to name some of my more popular, and most often requested, styles of pens, to try to make it easier for people to order from me. It could also act as a starting point – “I want this pen, but with these mods.”

 

After a lot of thought and reading about Isaac Newton and all of his work, and the scientific work and research of many many others, and not really coming up with any good ideas, it was suggested on my facebook page that I name the pens after the scholarship recipients. …Brilliant! So that’s what I decided to do. This is all for the kids after all, so what better way to name the pens, than after the kids.

 

After giving out two scholarships May 20 at graduation, speaking in front of a couple thousand people, my hands shaking so badly they looked blurry to me (thank goodness the podium hid that), I got a name from one of the two students. I had told him to pick out one of the pens and to name it. It could be his first or last name, a nickname, whatever…

 

Here I present to you -

The Gibby.

What is the one immediately following the Gibby? And the black one? Where do I find their details?

      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
