Just got home after a 8.00am to 11.30 pm stretch, probably the same today, as s Lamyesterda. 2000 and Ciselle Sonnet again. I like the Ciselle Sonnet Premier. The silver gives it agood weight and it is excellent for the shirt pocket.

Used my Sheaffer VFM, inked with a J. Herbin cartridge of Vert Empire (I need to get a bottle of this ink, it's lovely). Right now, I'm using a Pelikan Pelikano Junior inked with PR's Ebony Purple.

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

Today is a Parker day. I'm field testing a Parker 45 flighter before gifting it to my brother. It will be his first fountain pen.

Just a ciselle Sonnet, well it was unril I read Paolino's post . I found a good condition old Burgandy/Gold Filled cap P45, (judging from the filler about35 years old) in a charity shop for $A3.50 (and aP51 for the same price ) that is at work in the top drawer. I;ll take the P45 as well, they are a good pen, and a very good first pen.

Today I am using a new to me late 1920s orange Parker Duofold. The nib is a smooth fine, but seems starved for ink. The pen ia in amazing condition.

      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

      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
