Reform Calligraph Pif


KlaraZalokar

Recommended Posts

Hello lovely people,

 

This is my first Pif, so excuse if I botch something up.

 

Somehow somewhere I have found myself in the possession of a Reform Calligraph fountain pen with a BB nib (double broad?). As I cannot write comfortably with anything bigger than a fine and it also pains me to have a pen that I don't use in my tiny (newbie fp) collection I would like to give this one to someone else.

 

As you can see from the pictures below it has seen some of the world before coming in my possession and the "gold" plating is beginning to flake of at some points. I have cleaned it as best I could (flushed it for about two Goulet Q&A episodes) and it seems to be ok now.

 

If you would like this pen please raise your hand until sunday 22. feb.

As I understand, I should then make a random draw and I contact you via private message and and post the result here.

 

Cheers!

Nice pen and PIF. :). There are no rules - it's your PIF and you can do it however you like.

Yes please!! I recently got into fountain pens for the italic and broad nibs... (anything to help my terrible handwriting!). Lovely PIF!

Very generous of you.

Please enter me into this PIF!!!! I love B nibs and can't write comfortably with anything smaller than a M. I would love to try out a BB one!

This would be awesome as I've never tried anything thicker than a medium and I am really interested.

 

Count me in!

Please count me in.

I'm interested in that particular pen, and it has not been easy to find.

Hello,

firstly - wow, what a response :)

 

To the person who asked:

 

I'm in too!!!! \o/

 

Just asking, how will you choose? By random.org?

 

Anyway, I'm very very interested! ^_^

 

Yes, I will do a random draw, with a screenshot and all.

 

As for the following:

 

Please count me in.

I researched Fpn before deciding to put this pen here. I've seen some people were interested in it, but honestly I didn't feel comfortable putting the pen for sale. I didn't buy it neither do I know what sort of ink was put inside it before I got it in my possession + the dinged up outside doesn't help either, so I can not guarantee full satisfactory pen enjoyment.

 

It is a very funny pen (particularly the nib, it looks like a little piglet's nose), very useful for drawing and possibly for highlighting purposes, but as I said, I just can't use it - the nib is just odd :)

I will be glad if it gets a home in which it can be useful.

 

See Read you guys on sunday!

Wow. What a nib! If the PIF is open to folks on my part of the blue marble, I'd love to enter.

      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

      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
