Hello From Columbia Mo Usa

Recommended Posts

Hello,

I'm Greg from Columbia Missouri USA.
I came to an interest in fountain pens through journal keeping. After years of half-filling spiral and composition notebooks I started keeping a journal in earnest this summer. I'd received a Montblanc ballpoint as a gift years ago and started using that pen for my journals. I started researching (lusting after) Montblancs and then other fountain pens.
I don't own any Montblanc FPs (maybe someday). I started with a Kaweco Classic Sport, a JetPens Mini Chibi, and then a Pilot Metropolitan, a Lamy Safari, Kaweco Ice Sport, a bunch of Jinhaos, 3 Wing Sung 233s, a Baoer 388, and just received a Camlin Trinity and an Airmail 444 (my first eyedropper).
I dig all the pens I have, even the temperamental ones. I've gotten a lot of interesting and useful info from this forum, so I thought I'd sign up.
My Best,
Greg

Hello,

I dig all the pens I have, even the temperamental ones.

 

 

Welcome, Greg !

 

I have scores of fountain pens, including twenty Parker 45's. The one I carry everyday

has a "bent" blue barrel. Looks like it warped from heat. This imperfection gives it a

lot of character. (as does a temperamental pen)

 

I wish you welcome, and a Montblanc in the New Year.

Auf freiem Grund mit freiem Volke stehn.
Zum Augenblicke dürft ich sagen:
Verweile doch, du bist so schön !

Thanks Sasha Royale.

It's interesting the things we choose. It's cool that out of so many Parkers, you often carry the one with the blemish.

Thanks for the well wishes. And if a Montblanc happens well ok, I'm having fun either way. :)

Hi Amberjack.

Thanks for the welcome. I'll look forward to hearing about our experience with the Airmails. I love my Airmail 444 (after using it one whole day!) and plan to order more Airmail/Walitys.

My Best,
Greg

      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

      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
