I think I'm going to get one of these, it looks awesome.... :drool:

 

I have had mine for about a month now and I love it. The only hitch is the grip area. It is really smooth so I tend to hold it a little higher than normal on the barrel. Other than that, it's a really good deal for the price.

A vegan told me once that he didn't understand why people ate meat.

 

I told him it was probably due to a lack of protien.

Glad you like it, and you're right about bang for buck vs. more expensive Lamy Safari. I wish more would look to this as an intro pen.

Agreed, all the standard sheaffer nibs on the more affordable models are super smooth. Better than what you would find on parker, waterman and lamy for the same price.

Woow, cool topic! Thanks for the sharing!!

 

If you have time, please take a look at my post below.

There're many kinds of video reviews about fountain pens and their craftsmen.

Of course, I'm interested in Sheaffer. :)

Enjoy!

I paid £5 more for a Sheaffer 100 than the equivalent Parker IM model and it's 10 times the pen.

On average I found Sheaffer's nibs to be my favorite as far as how they write. Smooth and crisp with little variation from nib to nib of same size. I use fine nibs and I like them stiff so for me Sheaffer has delivered the most consistent great writing experience vs all the other brands I have. Thus, the 100 is a great value also.

Sheaffer pens are one of the best Chinese pens you can get at the the moment.

Jinxian Huahao Pen Company really makes some good pens.

      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
