I come on this site, especially this post to see what people have posted. I am amazed, jealous and frustrated all at the same time. All these beautiful pens and amazing penmanship.

 

Hahahaha that's why I love this thread too.. pure pen pron ;)

Gorgeous. I think the rose gold trim is stunning with this celluloid :puddle:

I don't know how you have been able to garner all the elegant Stubs on the earth ????

 

 

Haha, yes, it has been my goal for many years to corner the world market in stub nibs, but no one 'til now has been bold enough to suggest it. Alas, there are too, too many stubs, the competition is fierce, and I am but one man alone against so many. They actively seek to thwart my efforts, these ... competitors. Just look at the post above by Houston who shows us his beautiful Paragon and yet does not reveal the nib. Is he concerned about me? Afraid? No, I think not. He is jousting with me, taunting me with the image my mind conjures of his factory stub. Of course they are rare, seldom seen, closely guarded. He no doubt feels safe, separated as we are by half a continent and an ocean. But is he? IS HE? Hmmmm.

Just got my TWSBI Mini in white with rose gold and a Pendleton Brown adjusted fine italic/stub nib. It's so much fun to write with. I think it will end up being one of my "long-distance writers," pens that I can write and write and write with for long periods of time. It fits my hand well when posted.

 

And of course my Sheaffer Sovereign. My current "cold-dead-hands" pen. (along with a couple of others) I can't help it. The giant nib just looks so nice, it's smoooooth and classy and the Blue Velvet is perfect in it.

 

edited to add: looking at the two nibs side-by-side gives you an idea of just how big that Sheaffer nib is in proportion to the rest of the pen. When posted, the Sheaffer is only about 1/2 cm longer, but the nib is almost twice as wide at the widest.

 

Second edit: So, out of curiosity, I measured. The nib on the Sheaffer is 9mm across at its widest and the visible part is 22mm tall. That's on a pen which is 145mm posted and 127mm closed. So, it's about the size of a #6 nib on a shorter pen. Just thought I'd share my worthless observations

      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
