I also have to say that not ALL old paper is 'good' old paper. These Morilla grid pads bleed something awful. :P

I don't think so---it's a different finish, but I could be wrong. And I think it writes a little thicker line, at least compared to the Safari I used to have.

 

PS: Thanks!

Sailor:

 

Great review. I just bought one with matching pencil for my daughter for Christmas. She's been admiring my pens for while.

 

I dip-tested it before I packaged it up.

 

What I liked:

 

1) It is a perfectly writing pen. It's nib is very forgiving. I don't have to stand over my daughter ensuring she doesn't mess up my pen.

2) It's wooden body is quality construction; reminds me of those well-made German toys I had as a kid.

 

What I didn't like:

1) It's too small. Okay, it's for a child or someone with small hands.

2) You can't post the cap on that functionless nob on the top. On the pencil, this nob turns to feed the lead.

Nope, you can't post it---you can't post the earlier versions of the Pelikano Jr. either! At least the non-posted caps don't roll away, a small detail which I appreciate.

 

Small? Not to me! :P

      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
