Where is the exact physical locations of PenGallery and Melpens in KL ?

Where is the Weld ?

In KL city central ?

 

If im not mistaken, Weld is located in KL city somewhere around Jalan Raja Chulan. But I hv never been there before.

Melpens is an online pen company. They sell various branded pens online.

PenGallery is situated in The Weld (Menara Weld), located in the so-called "Golden Triangle" of Kuala Lumpur, here :)

 

MelPens is an online store, and does not have a B&M presence. They're located in Petaling Jaya.

 

Another pen store I would highly recommend is KS Gill, located at Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman directly across Tune Hotel, Maju Junction and the Medan Tuanku monorail station. They have one distinct advantage compared to the others mentioned - the presence of an in-store nibmeister who will not only adjust your new pen purchased from them to your exact specifications, but also perform repairs and adjustments on your existing ones :thumbup: . They're also the oldest pen retailer in Malaysia, being around since WW2, but the last to have an online presence - very old school :rolleyes:

 

*** NO AFFILIATION WHATSOEVER TO THE ABOVE-MENTIONED MALAYSIAN STORES, just a very satisfied customer ***

MelPens is an internet only seller. Even though he's based in PJ he doesn't have a store. He has better prices than PenGallery.

 

PenGallery has a very nice shop in the Weld and the staff are really nice. You'll be lucky if you can get a better price than the internet price though (or at least luckier than me!). Make sure you check their internet price before you get in the store - as usual for a Malaysian store the listed prices are all MSRP and then they'll offer you their "standard" discount which will still have the price higher than the internet price.

 

You can get pens (Pelikan etc) in Isetan and other big department stores but don't expect a bargain.

 

If you want a MB then check out Hing's Watch in BSC or the new shopping mall that has replaced Jaya supermarket in PJ Section 14 (Jaya 33 or something). I have got good deals on a MB pen there.

      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
