Thank you for that valuable collection. These comparison images are a very useful reference. I go to them when I'm ready to expand my ink collection, but don't wish to duplicate something I already have covered.

 

Cheers,

Joe

WoW, now that is a serious purple collection. Wonderful resource. I can pick out my favorites easily now. Thanks!

With the new FPN rules, now I REALLY don't know what to put in my signature.

What a stunning array!

Thanks. Yes, I know there are hundreds of greens, browns etc etc, but purples, violets, mauves, even the number of these simple colour names is awsome.

      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..

      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.
