Hi,

Please describe your blackening process. I have a c1925 Wahl that looks like it was scrubbed/sanded and it now oxidized brown with over all low relief of the chasing and imprints. Looks like it has a great nib so it is definatley worth improving.

Richard, I just wanted to thank you for doing such a great job on my P51. As soon as it arrived, I filled it with some Private Reserve "Chocolate" ink and tried it out. Works perfectly, I could not be more satisfied with your work. I also like the short turn-a-round time. I will gladly recommend you to my friends.

I opened the package containing the Parker Duofold you worked on for me and I could not be happier. I am sure my father simply set that pen aside about fifty years ago and never gave it a second thought. You have restored it to its former glory. It is a wonderful writer I can carry daily as a keepsake reminder of my now departed dad. Thank you so much for that. I would heartily recommend your services to anyone wanting a pen restored.

 

Thanks Again!

 

Phil

I am getting pms. There have been some issues on the board it seems. Just a note, I got into an accident and injured my leg so turn around time will be a bit longer now. Please bear with me and thanks.

Thanks Richard

Has anyone heard from hcsk8ter recently? Or maybe, NOT heard from him when one reasonably should? I have a pen in to him and haven't been able to get in touch with him since January 24th.

 

-->edited to say I heard from him this evening.

      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
