Okay, by the time I got a photo of some of my sharp/inky toys, this thread appeared to have trailed off, and I withheld posting, but since it's been revived, here 'tis. Sorry for the apparent cell phone resolution, this shot was taken with an acceptably sharp 10 megapixel point and shoot camera, but when uploaded into Photobucket, the good news is that PB automatically shrinks the size to reasonable screen width, bad news is that it also appears to inordinately decrease the quality of the pic. Also I apologize for the rather static, unartistic composition of this piece, it was a real quickie photo shoot.

From top to bottom, a Buck #120, an Al Mar MAC SOG (Seki, Japan), a Parker 75 Sterling Cisele (Spanish Treasure Fleet - 1715), a Parker Azure Blue Vacumatic (3rd quarter, '44), an Italian (style?) stiletto (original or Victorian replica?), a Parker 51 Flighter (2nd quarter, '51), a Parker Blue Cedar 51 with coin silver cap (4th quarter, '45), and a Japanese kozuka (small companion blade to a katana or wakizashi). Have other Japanese blades, but their large sizes do not integrate well with pens. :)

This thread needs to be stopped. It's been responsible for me buying 3 new knives, so far.

Neverrrr! :)

 

That being said, let's see 'em! :D

The only way these two could be more perfectly matched is if the Kaweco had a black nib...

After having certain knives and certain pens, I really hadn't changed up the carry too much. I'm so bad at rotating...

I'm surprised by how much I'm liking the <M> rhodium nib on the VP. I thought for sure that I would turn around and sell it when I had gotten it, but I find myself reaching for that over my <F> gold nib!

RisingSun, nice grouping! Always wanted an Alpinist and it looks great on that leather. Seriously addicting hobbies: pocket knives, watches, fountain pens, and my other one is flashlights. Just not enough money for them all!

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
    • adamselene
      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
