Yes, it is. First day of use and i already think FC has another winner here. Its one of the most comfortable pens i own. I am partial to broad nibs, but got the Marietta with a medium steel nib. Another good choice i made, apparently. The nib puts down ink wet and so smoothly. Its early days yet, but this pen could easilt become a prominent member of the "favourites" club.

Yes I agree. I am still able to see your photos Attila, and I really do appreciate the change you made so that photos show up for me (and some others).

Pen: Pilot Elabo Red Resin (Soft Medium) - I call it Elabo rather than Falcon because I bought it in Japan and it was sold to me as an Elabo. I call my Black one Falcon because I bought it from a seller in US.

Ink: Pilot Blue Black

My Pilot Vanishing Point Decimo with fine nib and Pilot Blue ink arrived from Japan today! It took 13 days from the time I ordered on Engeika to reach my doorstep.

At least you like the ink! I do like the shading.

That is some gorgeous blue black ink! Unfortunately, I can't seem to find it available in the US. :(

Such is my fickle nature, I couldn't even commit to one 350ml bottle. Just as well you like it! And really liking the Elabo Soft Medium. Soft Fines seem to tend to get all the limelight, but that's a really nice-looking line. Oh dear, and I thought I had put my desire for a Falcon/Elabo to bed...

This pic does absolutely nothing for the looks of the pen; it's much more translucent than that.

(Pelikan Ibis 130 - EF ..... De Atramentis Steel Blue)

All my filled up journals and unused inks, as well as my meager collection of pens will one day be found by my two sons when I am gone, stashed away in all corners of our house and they can do whatever they want with them. I have a feeling that they may enjoy playing with them, as my older son (8 years old) is proud of his own Pelikano Jr and writes with it, and looks after it well (for a boy of that age). One day my left over inks and pens will serve to be something for my sons to remember their mum by. That's what I hope anyway. :P

Beautiful blend of colours. Run rat (or is he a mouse?), run! And catch that pen!

      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
