List Of Flex Pen Options


Stowford

Recommended Posts

Hi All,

 

I'd like to start a thread in which the choices of flex pens could be listed so that readers, including myself, can better understand the flex pen options available. I'll not include any in this first post, but invite members to share their knowledge below.

 

Please feel free to include any pens that flex, may they be modern or vintage, cheap or expensive. I'd just really like to know what's out there and available for the flex pen enthusiast.

The problem with the vintage pens is, the same pen body could have a flex or a rigid/nail nib.

Surprised no one's mentioned the vintage favourite, Waterman's 52 series. They're not usually noodles by any stretch of the imagination, but the range (basic 52, shorter 52V, thinner 52 1/2, and the really compact 52 1/2V) offers quite a bit of line variation if you want it. I blame this pen for my lusting after vintages, haha :P


Cheers!

The Waterman 52 (and to a lesser extent, its older brother the 12) are some of my favorite vintage flex pens. I have 5 of them here and each one turned out to be amazingly flexible.

      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
