Onoto Magna Classic

Recommended Posts

yes it does, but i don't mind, since i'm assured that it won't unwind all by itself in my pocket (as my M800s and 149s have been known to do).

 

 

Does this pen really and truly require 3 and 2/3's FULL turns to just unscrew the cap?? Why all the unscrewing??

Check out my blog and my pens

sotto2,

 

The cap thread is a single start thread. This is, probably, to ensure that the clip always ends up pointing to the 'ONOTO THE PEN' logo. If it were a multi start thread, this couldn't be guaranteed. It does have the advantage that the thread is fine enough that it should never come undone in your pocket. Must admit I don't find it irritating to turn it that number of times, as it's pretty much the same as on my Parker Duofold, but as there is a single start thread as opposed to a 3 start, much less of the barrel is threaded.

 

Regards,

 

Richard.

I love my Onoto Magna Classic but did not know about the single start threads. Learned a lot. Thanks.

A work colleague commented about the fact that my Onoto Magna Dickens fountain pen with striped barrel and cap always lined up when the cap was screwed on. They were very impressed with the construction and the look of the pen. Have to admit, the pen looks superb. :D

      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
