I too am an admirer of anything simple yet beautiful. No moving parts is, well... :cloud9:

 

Something that will outlive myself is great, and the E.D system is the embodiment of that idea.

To hold a pen is to be at war

That is a seriously cool pen! But, I've gotta ask, what does a kid do, exactly, in a tire shop?

My dad used to work for Goodyear before they shut the doors here in town, and I'd help out by putting up shipments of tires. I'd also organize the junk tires for the recyclers to come get. And they'd let me help out with mounting and balancing and all that stuff.

Wow what an old review! :)

 

The ink....

uhmm.... maybe Noodler's Eel blue? I think it was the only blue I had at the time besides Parker Quink Turquoise, and I don't think this is that.

 

The 149 - yeah it was pretty nice - not nearly as nice as yours that you let me use - but it was okay. I'll have to get another one day. :)

      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
