I just joined and I know I'm wayyyyy off topic but I just got a brand new Fyodor Dostoevsky fountain pen by Mont Blanc! The Dostoevsky is my favorite out of all my MBs (I collect them), and some bonehead sat on mine and broke it in two places. I have a friend with a pen store and he gave me a brand new fountain pen, Dostoevsky of course, for only $430.00!!!!!!! He even threw in some purple ink. It IS my birthday, after all. : ) Sorry for jumping in like this but I'm so excited I couldn't help myself. Now if I could only find my way back to that section entitled " Dumas or Dostoevsky " because I feel sure I can be of help in that area. : )

Uh oh. That pic came from my camera roll where I sent a picture of my new pen to my best friend whom I call Zeus. Completely forgot there was a curse word in there.

'The Yo-Yo maneuver is very difficult to explain. It was first perfected by the well-known Chinese fighter pilot Yo-Yo Noritake. He also found it difficult to explain, being quite devoid of English.

So we left it at that. He showed us the maneuver after a sort. B*****d stole my kill.'

That sounds like a great price. I like that particular MB quite a bit. Also, happy birthday! It's my birthday too. :D

Maybe I'm just a little OC, but is it sad I noticed the folded corners and bent clip and spattered ink but not the, uh, "impolite" word? That is definitely using that pen (still stickered) in a way the old Russian would appreciate.

Should have sent it to MB for repair.

      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
