Hi :)

Knowing all of us here are pen nuts ;) I assume what most of us want for Christmas is a pen or an ink. But if it's something totally different, than please share your wish with us anyway. Who knows, Santa might be reading the forum ;)

 

Kindest of regards,

G aka Ggaja

Ok, I'll start,

* crosses fingers and wishes for Santa to be reading * :D

I'd either like:

A Vac700 from TWSBI in Sapphire

A Pilot Parallel set

A new cable for my voice recorder. Without one my recorder is useless.

A P51 (Santa, if you are reading, I do not want a plane!!) :P

Actually, my list is all books this year. I asked for the last three paperback collections of Glen Cook's Black Company series & the core rulebook for Fantasy Flight's Star Wars - Age of Rebellion.

Pen-wise it is safest to make one's own arrangements.

 

I have an Italix Parson's Essential and two Diamine 150th Anniversary inks (1864 Blue Black & Regency Blue) which I cannot play with until next Thursday.

I want my inks to arrive from Germany, and perhaps a good diary or a pack of FP friendly paper.. That's pretty much it, since I am set on the rest for at least half a year :P

I already ordered and recieved my pen wish for this Christmas. I got a Noodler's Neponset Acrylic in Forbidden City.

 

My family doesn't buy me pens. They probably fear they will screw up and get the wrong one. They stick to paper, paraphernalia, and inks- in relation to this hobby.

I like the idea of this thread...

 

Santa if your reading... I want...for Christmas is..

 

- Pilot Falcon EF in Black with Gold Trim hmm..

- TWSBI Vac700 EF in Clear

- A new bottle of parker quink black because I'm running low on that stuff...

- Lastly... maybe an assortment of noodlers ink...

 

OH, and maybe a new Lamy Logo...

 

But something other than pens would have to be google chrome cast, the thing where you can stream video to a TV wirelessly..

Favorite Ink and Pen Combinations:

Monteverde Jewelria in Fine with Noodlers Liberty's Elysium

Jinhao x450 with a Goulet X-Fine Nib with Noodlers Liberty's Elysium

Lamy Al-Star BlueGreen in Extra Fine with Parker Quink Black

Pilot Metropolitan in Medium with Parker Quink Black

Yes, my wife says that I am impossible to purchase for. I did get her a 2-pen pen case and two bottles of interesting ink for stocking stuffers.

Santa and I have an arrangement, I always tell him what I want so that he doesn't make a mistake and get the elves to make something I don't want. My friends do the same. This year I thought about another fountain pen, but in the end opted for an AlphaSmart Neo2. I already have a Neo1 but wanted a backup. They are no longer made and there's a glut on the second hand market at the mo' but I'm sure that will dry up and they'll become hideously expensive.

 

For those who don't know what they are, they're great distraction-free writing tools (very much like a fountain pen, but files from the alphasmart can be loaded into Word/any other text program).

 

My friends have asked Santa for some perfume and a board game.

I am pretty confident that I have been very nice this year.

Perhaps I'll come across a Snorkel in 2015. But no Christmas gift for me as we celebrate Diwali for the gifting and stuff.

Some of the Sailor inks that are only readily available in Japan.

 

Oh and while I maybe haven't been quite *that* good this year:

a Pelikan m400 striated blue

and for Santa to send a memo to Nathan Tardif to make music nibs for the Konrads, not just the Neponsets (which are too big for my hands). And maybe some new colors of ebonite Konrads (blue -- I've seen blue ebonite out there -- and I WAAANT....

I already bought myself a pen for Christmas. As for what I want, a nice pair of warm socks and perhaps a sweater as well.

      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
