Pen anatomy


Dan the man

Recommended Posts

Can anyone refer me to a site on pen description'"anatomy". Sort of a common language to describe the various components of a FP? The jargon in short that is most commonly used when referring to pen parts and descriptions.

 

Thanks ya'll :lol:

Now, see, heh, here's my true story :o

 

I’ve liked pens for a long time. It’s only now that I’ve come to learn the terminology, phrases, etc., of the industry. So, recently, when I called my local pen dealer, showing interest in a brand (Visconti) featured in an article I really should have read a bit more closely, I guess it’s more than about being corrected (which, thank goodness, I was) after describing the model in which I was interested in by stating,

 

“Yeah, that one Visconti, they call it the square in the round.”

 

which, ultimately just really meant I needed to share it with ya’ll here, heh.

 

Yeah, at the time, at that rate, I probably woulda’ bought a concert ticket to go see square in the round, too.

 

:doh: :bonk:

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
