Very, very well written review. Lots of detail on the pen. A clear-eyed assessment (which is a lot more useful than the gushing, just-got-a-new-pen-and-it-is-wonderful-in-every-respect reviews that sometimes appear). And, even a bit of explanation as to the special qualities of the pen that might make it an excellent choice for some and disappointing for others. Thank you for investing the care and time to provide it.

Some lovely writing right there ^^

 

Thank you very much. I'm amazed at the progress I have made in a short time with the help of some fellow FPNers to show me the way.

Hmmm, I really don't like the Conklin pens.

 

And I thought - with the understanding that I am a monumentally unknowledgeable person - that no more wooden Desiderata pens were to be made?

 

Playing last night I found that Diamine Ancient Copper works quite nicely with a well-licked Hiro nib, as long as I do not try to be too expressive. Dip pen, for clarity.

I just finished a bunch of Delrin Daedalus pens that I posted about in the Instagram feed. Now, I'm waiting for parts to come in from one of my suppliers, and once I get them, the store can reopen. I'll send an email to people on the mailing list giving them an exact time when things will become available.

I'm sure Pierre can clarify, but I I would hope that the wooden pens will remain a staple of his business.

      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
