Hi,

 

I also forgot. I have two Nakaya Portable Cigar pens too. I like the shape.

Stolen: Aurora Optima Demonstrator Red ends Medium nib. Serial number 1216 and Aurora 98 Cartridge/Converter Black bark finish (Archivi Storici) with gold cap. Reward if found. Please contact me if you have seen these pens.

Please send vial orders and other messages to fpninkvials funny-round-mark-thing gmail strange-mark-thing com. My shop is open once again if you need help with your pen.

Will someone with the name of "Jay" who emailed me through the email system provide me an email address? There was no email address provided, so I can't write back.

Are those stickers?? Because that's a great idea! Never even crossed my mind.

Cleaning aside, the amber Custom 823 is one of my favorite pens. I have one in F. If I ever pick up a duplicate pen, it'll be the clear demonstrator 823 in B.

The Danitrio Takumi seems to be my particular weakness, I now own five. It's such an ideal size and they make them in so many nice finishes I just can't help myself.

I bought two very similar pens. One Pilot Heritage 92 (medium nib) and one Pilot Heritage 91 (soft-fine medium nib). The last one is a cartridge/converter version of the first.

 

Those are my favorite pens, and the more expensive that I can go.

Yeah, those are stickers. My Pilot Custom 74 is unique. I thought it looked a little plain with just a wide silver band back there.

Just picked up a clear C823(f) on eBay for $261 plus shipping. The seller is pisuke2005 and sent some nice tea with my pen.

Actually, none.

Does that mean you haven't got a single Japanese pen, or that you only have one of any particular model?

 

I've only just discovered Japanese pens this year. I'm a man of limited means (at the moment) so I only have two Pilot Preras, one white, one brown. If I had more money I'm pretty sure it would be a much different story. I will content myself with drooling from afar.

I have 4 VPs so far and I daresay I'll get more in the future :) Also, my Nakayas are multiplying!

For daily use, I find Nakaya's Neo Standard model very pleasant. I have three of them, from left to right: Kuro Tamenuri (stiff M nib), Bamboo in tame sukashi (stiff M nib) and Aka Tamenuri (music nib). The latter two are inked. Ruud

rhk, superb collection there! I love the Bamboo Woods and the way the clip just 'disappears' into the pen as well.

How wide do you find the M nibs as compared to another pen?

      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
