Welcome, Renzhe!

 

You'll find lots of useful information here. I like Phileas, too. I have two - a medium and a fine. Enjoy FPN!

So many pens, so little time!

Welcome aboard. Good info here and as for not being fountain pen crazy, well that will more than likely change with time.

Am I pen crazy? I wouldn't say so. I have two Philéas.

We'll soon fix that!

 

Contact Waterman (1-800-BEST-PEN) and see about possibly getting that messed up Phileas repaired for minimal if any $. You may only have to pay shipping depending on the problem.

 

I've not used WM customer service but many pen manufacturers have good CS and if you like the pen, it's worth it to have it up and running (she says as she stares at her first-ever "real" pen, a green WM Phileas with cracked section.)

Do you think it's worth repairing a nib that's been bent one tine up and one tine down, and then bent back into shape with pliers and cursive-italicised with sand paper (because the tip was unusable)?

 

Here's how it writes.

Are you a budding nibmeister? That pen looks to be doing a pretty good job of putting down ink to paper.

      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
