Because similar to small children across the world I like the idea of having something to open on Christmas morning and to play with for the day.

 

Was thinking of ordering Montblanc Irish Green to use in this, it will be my first time to use a colour other than blue. Any thoughts on what you are going to ink yours with?

I can't agree more. I'm eagerly waiting to open a Conway Stewart Belliver Poinsettia.

 

Kind regards,

OK, got it.....you've obviously got more patience than I.... :)

 

As for ink....I'll probably start with JHerbin Cacao du Bresil.....

I picked mine up today.

 

Lovely.

 

It is back in its box, waiting in the queue for inking. I might let it queue jump.

Which, of course, begs the question - exactly how many pens are in the queue?

Hmmm... If I told you that, you would know as much as i do - and that would never do!

Just received my Onoto Tortoiseshell. Should have had it yesterday but the postman just pushed a card through my door and was gone before I could get downstairs to take the parcel off of him :angry:

 

Trying to get into a new Onoto pen is not the easiest of tasks as the outer box is VERY well sealed for protection. The pen is every bit as gorgeous looking as I remember it from the WES Pen Show :D Now its time to ink it up and try out the latest in a long line of Onoto pens that I have purchased over the years :cloud9:

What nib did you order for yours?

What a stunning looking pen. I admired the Onoto pens for years at pen shows before finally taking the plunge with the WES President's Pen. It's one of my favourite pens and all I can say is that I just wish Onoto pens were that bit cheaper so I could get another one.

      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
