No, not Sonnet Fou, neither Sonnet Fu* smile.gif
Just Sonnet Fu. Genuine Parker for the Asian Market. Rhodium plated 18K gold.
I could say many good things (including a decent price and that it wrote great out of the box)
but the laser engraving is a turn off. More tomorrow.

Very nice... Fu means prosperity in chinese..
SquelchB
That is neat.

How does this girl look in full view?

It is the "regular" sonnet in a different box and the different nib.
A great writer - in fact it write at any angle (even high angle which is sometimes tricky for Sonnets)
I am not thrilled with the laser engraving but at a price - surprise $75 for a 18K nib, I can not complain much smile.gif

Is Fu nib better than standard 18k Sonnet nib?

I got it from PenGallery.com

This Sonnet Fu nibs has been better/different than the typical late Sonnet nibs that I have had.
The usual problems in late Sonnet nibs is that they come with the tines too tightly closed together.
I usually open them apart slightly. Also the fines are usually smoother at a low pen holding angle than at high ones.
This nib had neither of these problems. Of course it is just a single specimen, so we should not generalize.
There is discussion in the documents that it is "optimized" for chinese writing...

It seems means: Good Luck, Happiness, Prosperity, maybe Good Wishes,

It Only comes with fine nib (That is why I have not bought it).

How about European writing?

Somehow I thought you were doing a pun on Kung Fu or something...like the martial art of writing sonnets.

Now if they did a 祿 and a 壽 they'd have a collection.
