My VP is awesome


Dawn

Recommended Posts

Hi Guys

 

I have a VP and it's awesome, I love it :D

 

I have a broad nib on it and its smooth and the line is thick and wet. I used it all day at work yesterday and couldnt stop writing notes to myself and doodling :lol:

 

I can see myself using this for a very long time without getting bored with it.

VPs rock.

 

I like a thinner pen, so I sprang for the décimo, which isn't available in the USA. (I bought it from ujuku, a Japanese seller who puts them up on eBay.)

I have been this way for about a week now. I received my pen last week, and except for a few notes that I needed in red ink, I haven't put down my VP.

Is there much difference between the Decimo and the older model VP? Aside from the look of the clip, it looks just like my ~1995 VP.

Hi,

 

I believe that the Decimo Capless is more like the modern VP crossed with the older capless.

Will someone with the name of "Jay" who emailed me through the email system provide me an email address? There was no email address provided, so I can't write back.

Gald you like the pen. It is one of my favorites. Also one of the first pens purchased. They are indestructible

I remembered this thread, Lloyd, so I hope it's helpful to you:

      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
