I would like to introduce you to the Tenny "Spring", a companion to "Fall". Recently, I reviewed the Tenny Fall and now, I'd like to tell you about "Spring".

 

I was looking forward to the arrival of my new "Spring", because I have thoroughly enjoyed the Tenny Fall and was sure that it would be just as beautiful and write just as smoothly. Waiting wasn't an issue, because my new pen was home in only a matter of a couple days. When I opened the package, I certainly wasn't disappointed with what I saw ... a beautiful pen!! The colors of spring blending and fading into one another with an overall cracked ice appearance. Beautiful!

 

The weight, just as the Tenny Fall, is perfect for me ... not too heavy, but definitely not a light weight. The size, also perfect for my hand, feels secure and comfortable. Another Goldilocks ... "Just right". Spring was ready to go, right out of the box. I did flush it, which I always do (even I have received a more experienced pen) and then came the truth in the pudding, so to speak. The nib on my new Spring had no difficulty laying down a nice line and it was just as smooth as the Fall was. There has been no skipping, no blobs, no leaks ... no problem of any kind. The new Spring hasn't been home long enough for the same test, but my Fall pen rested for over a week undisturbed and when uncapped, began writing, just as before, with absolutely no hesitation. No coaxing, no dampening of the nib/feed, no tinkering with the converter ... the nib only needed to touch the paper. There is no scratchiness. The nib just glides over the paper. Awesome!!

 

As before and always, for that matter, I don't post my pens, but did so just for you all. I found no problem with balance with or without the cap being posted. The Tenny is a well balanced pen, at least for me and continues to please me time and time again. As for the questions of would I recommend this pen to a new fountain pen user? Most definitely. Would I purchase another if another color was offered? Yes, with put any hesitation! My opinion of the Tenny Fall and Spring is ... a beautiful pen and great writer for a moderate price. The paper I have used so far has been, Rhodia (No. 18 pad), vellum, vintage onion skin, cheap Wal-Mart brand copy paper, Post-it Notes, Index cards (cheapies from Wal-Mart) and unknown paper from my local printer (my pens love that paper!) that I use for making journals.

 

All in all ... the Tenny is a winner and a keeper, in my opinion!

Very pleased that you got it! It's beautiful. :)

I love my 'fall' pen. I hadn't used it for a few days - just picked it up and it wrote straight away. I would certainly buy more if other colours were available.

What ink are you using in the 'spring' pen?

Whatever is true,whatever is noble,whatever is right,whatever is pure,whatever is lovely,whatever is admirable - if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things.

USMCMom,

So, glad your Fall pen has company and you have the set. Thanks for posting this review and glad you like it too. This color is the one we have the least of by the way. The Fall version has been the best seller so far. Both are are great colors and I am not sure which one I could part with if I could only keep one.

 

Best Regards,

Todd

Ohh ... so there's not many of the "Spring" left. Glad I grabbed mine when I did. As for if I had to choose only one?? Leaving the other behind?? Yikes, perish the thought!! Don't know that I could do that. LOL

 

Neither Fall nor Spring have been inkless since they came "home" and both are such a pleasure to write with!! Too bad they don't offer more colors, because i know I'd "have" to have them.

Geez, I'm sorry to have taken sooo long to answer your question!! My Spring is inked with Private Reserve DC Super Violet.

      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
