Recommended Posts

I am trawling asian Pen sites for not seen before's ...and will post to this thread. Pity there is not a brand forum for Asian Pens...it is afterall a big enough topic.

 

Found this just now ... there is also provision for having your name or text applied in a range of English and Asian styles.

The Glamour was made by the Platinum Pen Company. $25 is a good price. Same for the Platinum koi. Great price.

 

Who is the seller? Seems like someone from Taiwan as most online Japanese pen dealers refuse to sell overseas.

Where did you find these? I want one of those "Glamour" pens, if only because it's the ugliest and most impractical pen I've seen yet that didn't feature nekkid women on it. :lol:

My first impression is that I like these a lot. Where did you find them. The only problem is that if they are medium nib only, that might be a dealbreaker for me.

That looks to me like the kind of pen that a Borg (Star Trek) would use. :lol:

I wonder how comfortable it is to write with. Does it make you join the Collective? ;)

 

Actually, I guess it does... Look what happened to Elijah Wood after he used a Platinum Glamour:

OK, so you say that the bumpy Borg pen is made by Platinum... so why can't I find it on Platinum's website?

 

Where was it sold for $25.00?

Right so he found a picture of a BORG pen. Somebody made it and took a picture,

and somebody must sell it. Curious minds want to know... <_<

Stan is right it is a platinum ....the reason you cannot find one is that it is a domestic Japanese model ...there are many like this that we will never see. I am cultivating (sucking up to) a contact in Tokyo ...so I might have a line for future models of Japan only pen.

 

Must go ...but the cyborg stuff really deserves a reply.

      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
    • adamselene
      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
