Are there any "Year of the Pig" fountain pens? I did a search and couldn't come up with anything.

 

I was perusing FPN and came across this post about a Horse and Dragon pen:

https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/index.php/topic/260671-jinhao-950-porcelain-horse-dragon/

 

And I found another Dragon pen, a Jinhao, on Amazon:

I'm looking for a "Year of the Pig" themed fountain pen along these lines, something not very expensive.

Dragons are hoter than pigs...

True that. LOL

 

My SIL is a Dragon, so getting finding her a dragon pen would be easy.

Maybe in 4 or five years - next year is goat, then monkey, rooster (my year), dog then pig. A few years ago Noodler's did a Year of the Golden Pig highlighting ink but I'm not sure I've seen a pig pen... :lticaptd: ...Sorry, I just couldn't help myself.

I bet pink jade pens would sell like hot buns... just like pink diamonds, pink champagne, etc. etc. etc. ... Hey! Maybe that's what this year's Lamy of the Year is all about!

 

Faye, I honestly don't know, but I would think if anybody were going to make a pen for the Year of the Pig, it would be a Chinese pen company...

The nicest year of the (insert Chinese zodiac sign here) pens I've seen have been made by Japanese pen companies; most others, including Cross and S.T. Dupont look cheap to me.

I guess I will wait and see if one of the Chinese pen makers come out with one.

 

Mmmmm .... Roast pig. It has been a long time since I had roast pig from a Chinese shop. Loved the crispy skin.

But pigs taste way better.

I don't know. Can't really remember the last time I had Dragon for lunch (or dinner). :-D

i was making a pig pen awhile back ago to fit in one of those japanese jumbo pens. i never got a chance to cast it because i ran out of resin. i have gone back and forth about how i want to color it. some days i think it would be best all black but i was also thinking about gold leafing the finished cast section so its a totally gross and opulent ink spitter.

Dragon is pretty common noms down here in Florida where we have to cull them periodically once they get big enough to eat pit bulls. Or tourists.

 

Montegrappa made the only year of the boar I like and it ain't cheap.

Pens are like watches , once you start a collection, you can hardly go back. And pens like all fine luxury items do improve with time

      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
