Whoot! All three of my Noodler's pens came in today! And here I thought it would be more of a steady trickle of pens. Ah well. And my Kaweco in all black should arrive tomorrow.

Yay, my new Pel M400 EF nib has arrived. I would still describe it as medium, but it's a good writer.

Love, love, loving my new sapphire Pilot Metal Falcon that arrived yesterday from Goulet. Not only is it beautiful, it writes like a dream.

 

I have two other Falcons, so I shouldn't be surprised. But given the other Pilots I've tried and rejected, that's still the case.

I always wanted one but the prices had shot up by the time I had disposable funds. I've got an early non telescopic Esprit which does have the same qualities rotring was famous for. So I've come to accept I probably won't get one unless some sumgai was to come my way.

 

I justified the purchase by telling myself that I won't fall prey to other inferior pens that cross my path and waste money on them. Come to think of it, I justify every purchase that way.

 

Some sumgai?

I'm waiting for two Pelikan M400 pens to arrive (white tortoise & green). Both are EF nibs. I think the green one will arrive next Friday.

Is the gold EF nib much wider than the steel EF nib (like the one on my Pelikan M205)?

I don't have any other Pels so only have the gold EF in my M400, so I can't give you a comparison. Lots of others can though!

I would describe it as between a western fine and medium. Still considerably broader than my Sailor and Platinum Mediums. I have read that the steel nibs run finer, but have no direct experience.

 

I absolutely LOVE the tortoiseshell. I can't stop looking at it and touching it! Hope you enjoy yours.

A couple Jinhaos: a 588 in blue, and an unknown model with a blue and white floral porcelain pattern (not the X450 version, which I already have). Aaaaand I found a Kaweco Sport in the limited Dark Brown color on eBay, so I snatched it. I intend to put a bronze clip on it, squee of joy!

Trick it out, TeaHive! I remember the way you did the extreme makeover on the Preppy.

 

Goulet Pen Co. had a buy one get one Jinhao special, so I'm getting three different models, and three "sparkly pens." Looking forward to saying ni hao to the Jinhaos.

I finally made the decision to purchase another Pilot Custom 74 to replace the one I lost...BUT, I also decided to get a limited edition version in Violet...Due to the weak yen, it ended up being the same price of the Pilot Custom 74 Demonstrator in Violet that I lost.

 

Here's a picture of what the pen looks like

I'm also planning to get it custom ground to a Butter Line Stub nib from Pendleton Brown. Woo.

Oooh, that's pretty!

 

I'm still waiting on my White Tortoise. I had it shipped to Art for nib work; it got to him so now I wait.

That is a very good-looking pen. I hope you enjoy it.

I am sure I will, thank you. Despite it being an old design it is my favourite. Love the balance and feel too.

      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
