I have a coworker that hinted once that she would like a Fountain Pen as a gift, because she liked my Parker Frontier (that's one of my workhorses), so I gave her a simple Naki pen for Christmas; which surprinsingly wrote very well and smooth, and a bottle of blue Parker ink. Now, like me, she only writes with her Fountain Pen. How many people have you hooked? So far my count is one, and I intend to add more people to the art.

One----my 6 year old son.

Well, I've converted two, my daughter (gr10girl) and our Executive Assistant, and I have "introduced" eight staff members by giving then FP's and cartridges for Christmas, but none of those continued on to use them regularly....oh well, I tried.

7, all children or teens: 6 of my kids plus my niece. Of the 7. one daughter loves the pens almost as much as I do. I told my niece if she loved using the pen enough, I would buy her a converter & let her go through all my inks to pick out some she would like to have (provided I can find a small glass "jar" to pour them into.) So far she hasn't asked for any ink or a converter, but I did supply her with a number of cartridges...
