I enjoy seeing the drawings as well as the writing. Can't contribute any decent drawings of my own, unfortunately.

Vignette, I can almost smell that pen from your photos. I love how it makes the 54th Massachusetts look and behave.

 

I only have a very lightweight plastic no name pen from Platinum to show today. It's only distinguishing feature I suppose is it's ribbed section but despite it's cheap feel it has a gorgeously smooth nib.

It was an ebay find for £21.48 delivered and came with a matching ballpen. Result.

Vignette - great pen! There isn't much better in the pen world than cherishing and using a pen once owned by a family member. Nice writing, too.

 

Tas, love your drawings. You sure can make an inexpensive pen perform like a Ferrari!

 

Bernardo, I am completely jealous of your PFM stub.

 

tringle, What is it about Salz pens that makes them so fun to use?!

 

ablas, did you get those pens from Cirque du Soleil? What balance!

 

I was traveling for a few days and unable to post. Here is one I inked today:

Poor snowman . . .

Hi Pterodactylus, no the Mercedes isn't mine. It was parked in front of me the other day whilst I was waiting to pick up the kids from school.

(you must have one or know a lot about the fellas)

 

Hi David, I love cheap pens. Some, like this Platinum, should really go for a lot more. The nib is a joy to use.

 

Talking of cheap pens :yikes: My Visconti Homo Sapiens Bronze EF arrived today. I've been such a good boy. It's still in the box ( mhphoto :D ) and will remain so until Christmas Day / evening.

Thank you to everyone on this forum who helped make this monumental decision for me. It wasn't easy but 79spitfire, your “But a pen, that’s art, that makes art” comment and mhphoto you'r thoughtful message tipped me over the edge. The Tortoise M800 and Pilot Bamboo will now sadly have to wait for my lottery numbers to come up . . .

hi dcpritch,

 

the zagreb style knights have ears that the pens were able to sit in nicely.

 

Nicely done! :thumbup:

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
