I'm really enjoying J. Herbin Inks: they flow so easily and have such distinct colors; favorites are Vert Empire, Lierre Sauvage, Vert Reseda, Violette Pensee

 

Levenger Gemstone green is also a wonderful color.

 

Iroshizuki Syo-Ro, Ku-Jaku, Tsuki-Yo and Kon-Peki have such subtle differences.

By any chance would your stamp be from a Mistubishi Dial-a-bank security chop/hanko?

Beaucse I've known of it for years and haven't seen another seal with those rings around it. I just can't justify the price of a seal that has a feature that I will never use practically. How did you get yours engraved? I see it on rakuten, but I have no idea of who can engrave a non-Japanese last name on it.

The heart has its reasons which reason knows nothing of.

Tell me about any of your new pens and help with fountain pen quality control research!

Rakuten will do it; you just have to tell them specifically. They send a proof prior to machining it.

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
