What Pen Are You Waiting For In The Mail 2015


RMN

Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

Congrats for your ST Dupont, looking forward for your full review.

 

Best regards.

Thank you!

 

I wish I had more experience with top tier pens, so that I could compare the Olympio XL to the legendary MB 149 and Pelkian M1000.

 

Unfortunately, fountain pens are still a relatively new hobby, for me. I've only been using them, learning about them and buying them since around July 2014.

 

That said, pens are not my first hobby, and I do have an eye for quality as a decade long lover of fine cutlery. I carry a CRK Sebenza for the very same reasons I find the S.T. Dupont Olympio impressive.

 

Here's a photo teaser:

Wow, the classic series is one step closer to completion now. Congratulations.

 

I'm waiting for two Pelikans R400, that is, two rollerballs :( (one for my wife). I don't really know if I'm going to keep mine, since I don't use rollerballs, but for $45/each (brand new) it was too good of a deal for me to pass :)

You can always leave the cap on and pretend it's an M400 ;)

My S.T. Dupont Olympio XL in Midnight Blue Chinese lacquer has arrived.

 

 

I'm so glad you were able to fix the problems with this pen. It's a beauty!

That's a great idea! And since I don't have any M400, now I'm kinda excited with my new acquisition :D

A stainless Damascus nib would be epic!

Thanks. Just 4 steps away from completion actually but those pens are hard to come by. No illusions of completion anytime soon.

Am currently waiting for my first forays into non-new pens with a Parker 45 and some kind of Sheaffer.

Also a royal red Studio, because apparently I "needed" another one of those and I liked the matte red color. Thankfully there aren't many other Studio colors that I'm excited about!

Hang on, the plunger in this pen still works, sweet. All the rubber is still intact :D

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
    • adamselene
      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
