Ken, I'm sorry for making it necessary for you to write a disclaimer....You are indeed a master penman (uncapitalized, and not affiliated with IAMPETH). IAMPETH has no claims over descriptive words. LOL!!!

 

Absolutely no apology is necessary. I just wanted to put a little 'disclaimer' in writing and, having done so, can move on. Whilst I agree that IAMPETH has no claims over descriptive words, some people can be very touchy about some things.

 

Whilst it's for others to decide if it's appropriate or not, I'm delighted to humbly :embarrassed_smile: accept your unofficial title - in lower case, if necessary!!

 

Ken

 

Sorry we're off topic, but I had to reply.

Ken,

continuing with this off-topic thread... I'm a complete newb in all things calligraphic, but it doesn't take much to realize that your work is outstanding. So, I would propose to (un)officially award you the title of FPN's Outstanding Penman :)

Truly, your posts have been a continuous source of inspiration since I first joined the FPN some months ago, and I'd like to thank you for this!

I've decided that my Waterman 52V will be the best of my current tools to practice my Copperplate with. Thanks for everyone's input! Will gladly accept advice in the usage of a FP in this craft.

      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
