The nakaya urushi pen pillow or the vintage desk pen stand for Sheaffer, apparently custom made of Carrara marble, in the 30s.

Nomadic case - pens go back-and-forth to work and travel all over the place. If I have my pens I have the case with me. If I have the case, I have my pens with me (and two pencils, lead, small post-its, a Leatherman scissors, blotter napkin, ...).

Some 10-15 inkwell sets; 8-9 single inkwells....sadly mostly not used. Either through evaporation or it is too big.

This one that does seal, holds 50ml with the insert, 70 with out and I just don't use that much of any one ink.

My favourite accessory is having a second, short standard international cartridge in the barrel ready to go when the first runs out. I always thought it was cool that people did that with their pens at school. I was a bit jealous that I couldn't do that with my Lamy!

Sheesh, it's like you're just begging for a reason to buy another pen!

      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
