Which Pen

Recommended Posts

HEll0 to all

 

, i was planning to buy a jinhao 599 , but now i got some money and now i can afford up

to $12 worth of pen

keep in mind that in India this is a lot of money ,so i am planning to get a good fountain pen

 

i do not want a Parker though ,and pilot pens over here go 25%more than the cost price ,so no to that too

the pen should be light weight , and be easy to write with for long periods of time.

as i do not know how to smoothen a nib ,it would be favorable if it comes smooth in pack

I would keep with your Jinhao, they work well better than most pens up to your $12 budget. You could even have a 159 in addition to the 599.

 

 

But I would really recommend that you learn how to smooth a nib, look on Youtube for advice.

 

Let us know what you decide.

 

For those who have found their conscience and have been thinking what to do with the Pay it Forwards Pens that they begged for but can live without then this is a young person who could do with a helping hand.

      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
