blue o' blue might be here tomorrow.

...blue o' blue o' blue o' blue o' blue

I know how to buy pelikans... I just don't know how to stop.

 

 

That was my first Peli and the darn thing started reproducing on it's own. You would not believe the size nest I had to buy for them. I am scared to find out how long it takes to fill up a 21 drawer Hamilton type cabinet.


Quality pen restorations and nib grinding. Diamine Inks, Aston Leather cases, Rhodia & Clairefontane paper, Vintage Pens, Bexley, Edison, Gate City. Pelikan, & Pilot Pens.

Just ordered a black Kaweco Sport Classic (extra-fine) from JetPens for my wife. She doesn't like her Parker 45 (medium) but is too polite to ask for another pen.

Waiting on a hero 1000, pretty anxious

In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on.

A few Parkers... a 75 Sterling Silver, a 25, a 180 and one unknown which I think is a 65. (pic below)

 

A pack of 10 Hero 616s

 

And last but not least a Pilot/Namiki Murex.

 

I really need to stop buying fountain pens. It's getting silly now.

Blue Visconti Rembrandt, F. I no longer have any working fountain pens, so it'll be my only pen for a little while.

Noodler's Ahab in Arizona (because if a pen is orange, yellow or red, I must have it, and that covers two of my favourite colours), since it seems like the filling mechanism is less maddening than the Flex pen (which I like, but I can't seem to get it more than half filled at any time). And I just ordered a Kaweco Ice Sport rollerball to try out. And a great big pile of fine-tipped gel pens, but I don't think they quite count for this question.

I'm writing an online serial thing. It's urban fantasy. And I have no idea how long it's going to run for.

Turns out its a Parker 61 MkIII. The cap was stuck on so badly that I ended up unintentionally unscrewing the jewel from the clip. All fixed up and writing smoothly now.

 

Oh despite me saying no more pens I do have one more on the way. A Graf von Faber Castell Guilloche... it was a bargain on Ebay I couldn't resist.

The Montblanc 24 started something bad... I've been writing with it for a couple weeks now and am waiting on a Montblanc 14, Montblanc 34, and a Montblanc 234 1/2G all to arrive. I think I'm going to need some new inks to balance things out!

The Highlander was a documentary, and the events happened in real time.

I've been using the Kaweco Sport Classic for a couple days and it's brilliant. Still waiting for my Ranga pen to get here and I'm hoping the power outage hasn't affected the Indian post too drastically.

A MontBlanc 146. However, I am getting concerned as it was shipped last week and made it from Hong Kong to Australia in 26 hours.

 

Unfortunately, after checking the tracking it has apparently been getting transferred from the city next door to my local Post Office, for the last 5 days?

 

Please don't let this be a repeat of my Sailor Naginata Togi which disappeared last year.

A Chelpark Moti from FPR. I've also set snipes on a dozen vintage Montblancs. I fear a new bug has bitten me...

I'm waiting for a desk pen. I decided I wanted something for work, since I use my pens at work when I'm opening mail and figuring out who it goes to, when I write the names on the envelopes and stick the documents back inside. I always find myself either holding an uncapped pen during all of that, or constantly capping and uncapping it.

 

So it's a no-name desk pen, that I hope I can just stick the pen back in, do some mail lookup, and then take the pen back out!

      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
