Not a fan of the clip on the Lennon.

 

I picked up the Hitchcock booklet from my local boutique today. The 80 edition is a lot more detailed and has a lot more references to his movies than I first thought. I don't like the barrel though.

 

I think my favourite is the Skeleton Lennon but I won't rush out to buy either.

Surprised me, assumed you already had Lennon with that avi.

 

Me? The Lennon, no doubt about it. Maybe if I win the lottery!

Neither for me/ not my cup of tea.

 

As I recall, Hitchcock would certainly never have carried anything as flashy as this pen named after him. He disliked of any form of personal decoration and jewellery - would not even wear a watch. A pen to commemorate him would have to be the plainest thing you ever saw!

Sincerely, beak.

Already have a Hitchcock. I've looked at the Lennon a couple of times and The clip turns me off each time. I would however love to have the Lennon skeleton. It's right up there with the Chaplin and Eifel, all three are on the top of my list.

      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
