Here is what may just be the first published spy photo of the FPN LE Pen. As is typical of such shots, it's a quick, down and dirty image, so the quality isn't great. But it's a taste to whet your appetites for what's coming in the mail . . . any day now . . . :)

While you were nappin'
I just went out for a snack
I was feelin' famished
And then I vanished...

James,

 

I'd like to echo my thanks to you for your efforts in bringing this to fruition. By the way, did you get one for yourself? :)

James,

 

Thank you for all your effort and support for this project.

 

Since I won't see it for a few days (I'm heading your way in the morning and will miss it by a couple of hours), I have a question: Is the nib in the photo the 14K version? The steel version has the rhodium finish, correct?

Hi Bill,

 

Bring your bike - we can go for a ride. My road bike is temporarily out of commission with a loose bottom bracket, so I'm riding the Javelin 'Cross these days. I could even hook you up with a pair of these:

Answering your questions, that's the 18K nib. The steel one is Rhodium-plated.

I would also like to add my thanks for your hard efforts and all the people that worked on this project. The gold nib looks really good with the blue. I am looking forward to receiving mine too. :bunny01: :bunny01: :bunny01:

Why thanks for the picture - and thank you very much for all the work you've done on this! Appreciate the picture, as I'm out of town until Saturday eve, so one of those boxes will be sitting unopened at my house with my darling wife wondering again what I got ;)

Wow, I can only imagine the look on the postal clerk's face when you walked in with all those boxes :P

Sorry everyone - Only 114 of the FPN LE pens were made and they nearly sold out before they even arrived. The remaining half-dozen went so fast that the one I had set aside for myself got snatched up in the melee, so I find myself penless as well. :(

 

However, they seem to have been incredibly successful and, perhaps the Admins would be willing to authorize another run of the pen, provided Howard can get more of the necessary materials. If not this pen, I've a feeling that other FPN pens are in the cards for some future date.

      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
