Hello, iamchum. :)

 

Thank you so much for the comment!

Sailor's Zoom is easy to handle and feels very smooth so far.

 

Have a wonderful weekend,

Hi, studiohead.

Thanks for your asking. :)

 

The picture I took is Nakaya Fountain Pen shop

in Matsue City, Shimane prefecture,Japan.

 

He's one of the most famous pen doctors in my

country! I'll leave the address of the shop.

I become very happy to see this heart warming video. I have applauded the supporters for Nakaya.( By way of cautioning you ,let me add the following,

this Nakaya is a name of fountain pen shop in Matsue, not famous maker Nakaya.)

Hi, ethernautrix and rokurinpapa. :)

I'm really glad to know you enjoyed the vids I've uploaded.

 

Even most Japanese confuse 中屋万年筆 with 中屋万年筆店. lol

中屋万年筆店 specializes in the repairing of fountain pens.

Hi, shuuemura.

 

Those videos are not TV documentaries. To tell the

truth, I've studied the potential role of fountain

pens for a long time.

 

Earning my spurs, I was given this DVD(not for sale)

by National Museum of Japanese History.

 

So, those vids are interesting parts of the DVD. :)

Thanks for the videos, quite informative on the styles of nibs Sailor offers even though I cannot understand Japanese. Unfortunately, now I REALLY want that Naginata Cross Concord.

Hi NedC,

 

Naginata Cross Concord has much smoother

and more useful nib than any other Sailor

nibs.

 

I hope you can get it in the near future! :)

      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
