Pilot Falcon


Wandering Man

Recommended Posts

I went to Houston today to visit Dromgoole's. I had heard about the store, but had never been before. As expected, I came home with something shiney.

 

I bought my first Pilot pen today, and I bought my first "soft" nib.

I am really enjoying this pen!

Never argue with drunks or crazy people.

I have a Falcon and enjoy it a great deal. The soft nib is just right for me and how I write. Enjoy!

When you have pen and ink, every problem needs a piece of paper.

Falcon is a very solid pen. It's become part of me really. I got it partly for the flex but I don't really flex with it. It's smooth, fast, puts everything else to shame. All my other pens are toys (usually cheaper too).

 

One time, after visiting an antique market, someone asked if I "bought it on the junk market?". I was offended. Thinking about it, I'm saddened. Need to go meditate for a sec, with my beloved Falcon.

 

It's the metal falcon btw, it's nice and heavy, not too heavy, good in size, goo dbalance and last I heard, holds more ink than the resin.

I tend to ramble and write wallotexts. I do that.

I liked the body of the Falcon, but I kind of wish I could put the 14K Soft Fine from the Platinum Century 3776 on one, as I felt the nib from that pen to be a bit more controlled and about the same starting thickness as the Soft Extra-Fine on the Falcon. But I prefered the Falcon's body/cap to the Century 3776.

 

For most of my ink choices I found the Soft Fine on the Falcon to be a tad too wet for my taste.

      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
