fountainpagan, No magic involved ! Suggestions are good way to improve..

 

Thanks Amit, good to see you here, And you are right . . the first design may be functionally advantageous over the second, but not all hands requires a "step "to hold and may prefer the second. That part may be best left to users..

Regarding the cap ends, I may prefer single cap end which gives a leaner look over double which can give a stout but sturdy look. What are your thoughts Mehandiratta , as a designer?

 

Mehan, you mean to to provide groove on the top part of the cap? or on the sides with a small overhang?

Sree

Ok friends, Thanks for all FP aficionados who have viewed and responded to this thread. Thanks for all persons participated to make a design evolved to its maturity. Let me conclude by this final design. Main design contributions are from our great designer of FPN, Vaibhav and the final model will be presented to him as an expression of gratitude.

Very very beautiful. Definitively design and modern.

 

Congratulations to Mehan for the design idea, and you Sree, for the beautiful making.

      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
