Fahrney's is having a clearance sale until the 31st. It's definitely worth checking out. I probably should have noted down some of the prices but I was a bit overwhelmed. I do remember there was a F Boheme (don't remember which one) for 325. Lots and lots of Stipulas and Krones too.

I stopped by today and was disappointed. They did not really have very much on sale and it was the sort of thing you might expect to be left over in their warehouse - kind of drab and not the nicer things. Some of the prices were good - 50% off, but most seemed to be more in the 20% to 30% off range which is not anything to get excited about in my opinion.

Even so, I'll have to stop in later this week. I can oooh and ahhhh, maybe hold a few pens to see if they're really what I've been looking for, and buy a little ink for their trouble.

Ah. I got there as soon as they opened (hey!) so I imagine they may have had more stuff then. It is their warehouse clearance sale, I believe.

I was there at noon on Monday and walked out with two Stipula Novecento pens, one black resin with silver trim and one electric blue celluloid with silver trim. The brands with the best deals were Stipula, Omas, and Cross. There were only a few Montblancs, a few low end Watermans, and a few low end Pelikans.

Fahrney's is not a big store anyway. I just went this afternoon and also got a Stipula Novecento. There are some very good prices on the brands CharlieB mentioned, plus Cross and Conklin (though the latter mainly lower end).

I also notice that their store brand ink is almost certainly re-bottled Private Reserve.

The jury is still out, however, on Fahrney's Sepia ink. Its color doesn't seem to match up with any of Private Reserve's "regular" colors. Someone on this forum was speculating that the color might have been created especially for the Fahrney's brand. Anyone know?

      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
