Seems to be a nice model! Renée has some great designs though.

I can't get the Naka-ai style Idyll out of my head...its pretty cool!

 

I have an Idyll on order, made from an acrylic called Blue Dreams... however, my pen is further on in the queue, so it's not so much that I'm waiting for it in the mail but that I'm waiting for it to be made...

 

My Nakaya made it back from Japan with its nib adjusted today. Writes like a particularly good dream. So glad I decided to send it in.

A Desiderata Mercury in Cherry & Koa is on my way, and I managed to snag my first Parker 51! The listing had just been posted, and it was exactly what I was looking for. Excitement!

I am interested in what you'll think of the Parker 51. I have a hunch about what you'll think, but I'll wait until you report out.

I'm interested to know what I'll think too! >_>

 

I do love my flex pens, but I also am fond of Parkers. More the original Vacumatics, aesthetically, and because of their ink capacity. I can't say the look of the 51 excites me too much, but having custom pearly green-grey parts kind of erases that. Provided everything fits together, it will be quite nice to look at. I have Hero 616's, and they write well enough. If the 51 outperforms (which it likely will), I'll be a happy camper.

Cool! Please post pics of both and perhaps a writing sample/ review of the Desiderata when they arrive. Thanks!

You're all about that silver!!! Weight? 20 pounds?

Yes, Sterling is my favorite material when it comes to pens. I love the engraving that most Silver pens are made with and of course I like my pens to have heft!

That's a nice material!

Glad to hear you Nakaya now works as it should :happy:

I hope I can acquire one one day. :rolleyes:

Waiting for a beat up Parker 51 to tinker with on some cold winter nights.

 

Still waiting on my Soviet scope from Kiev. I am particularly excited about that.

I'm not waiting any more - it came today!

My husband just bought a Parker 75, in sterling silver, with the matching mechanical pencil on ebay. I'll find out when it comes if it's my grail pen - I couldn't see if it had metal threads or plastic. I'm sure I will love it anyway :)

Shuttlebug, nice pen and pencil set... BUT... is that a 10-stitch afghan the pens are resting on?? (I've got one in the works.)

Your life is the result of the choices you make. If you don’t like your life, it’s time to start making better choices.

Well, I'm waiting for a Parker Snake. (It might be a long wait as I gotta find one and then figure out a way to pay for it first)

      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
