I think I have few pens on Stub nibs that deserves. to add in to this great Thread!

 

I am not really into stubs But to Fine line pens. But my latest add into my Pens collection is a Modern Music Stub By Salors. To be honest Today being my second day with this pen ( I received it just Yestaerday ;) ) I have decided to Grind it into a medium Cursive Italic OB . Reason is it skips a lot and behaves very badly. I have tried a Micro Mesh. to get some feed back but it is the worse nib I got from my pens. :(

My review of this pen is here:

Addendum: I just discovered that the much less expensive steel-nibbed version of the Momento Zero can be had with a stub nib. I ordered one from fontoplumo dot com. I'll post a review when it arrives.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Amberlea, I love that ink - how does it compare with Montblanc Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (Encre du Desert)? And of course Bexley Stub nibs are invariably fantastic and among my favorites. As far as it looking too small, could it be seated to far into the section? DAVID

That is the cheapo Pelikan cartridge. I picked up some NOS at Pendemonium. It is very similar to MB's new Psychedelic Purple. AdSE is similar to the vintage burgundy.

 

As for the nib, I may want to put it into the Bexley, so I'll probably add another nib to this pen. I wish I knew who made it.

This is the blue ink I'm looking for. Could I ask what manufacturer and color it is?

Did you see ...

 

Haha, yes I did, thanks for outing me as a purveyor of stub nibs! :P You remember I have a right of first refusal on that pen, don't you?!

 

 

 

Great nibs! I especially like to see them inked. :thumbup:

Can you tell us what is being used in that picture to hold your pens? It looks really interesting.

David, I have purchased four of them since then and love them all, but my favorite is the one from you. I haven't asked to be buried with it .....so if it ever leaves my hands, I'll tell the kids that it needs to go back to you.

It looks great as a backdrop for photos! From an earlier shot I thought it was some sort of pen tray made of wood skewers, which turns out to be not for off the mark, but I really like the way it shows off your pens.

Need any help with legal language on that? ;)

That blue ink is exquisite. Which ink is it?

I am amazed at the handwriting so many of you have. It is truly artwork. Mine is ... something else.

Thanks. The pic really doesn't show it very well at all, I'm afraid. It's faceted with shimmering dark purple in the black. When the light hits it, the silver really pops, with the purple a nice secondary.

      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
