I just received three pens back from Pendleton Brown...they are now the loveliest, most fun writers I own. I would not think twice to have any pen reworked by Mr. Brown. He should be declared a national treasure of nib culture. For anyone interested, I sent him a Pelikan Souveran M605, Lamy 2000, and a Graf von Faber-Castell Intuition. Just sayin...

Pendleton's my favorite nibmeister!!!

Franklin-Christoph, Italix, and Pilot pens are the best!
Iroshizuku, Diamine, and Waterman inks are my favorites!

Apica, Rhodia, and Clairefontaine make great paper!

I really like my Rosetta 'Magellan' with the Pendleton stub. Smooth performance and it adds some character to my mundane penmanship.

I don't normally like EF nibs. But I picked up a Parker 51 Aero with an EF nib from him a couple of years ago at the Ohio Pen Show and I could not believe how smooth that nib is. :wub:

Bought the pen for my husband (the BIC fine Philistine) to try him out with FPs -- but if he does something like leave the cap off and let the pen dry out, I'm staging an intervention....

I think nib work is actually a form of miniaturized sculpture. There are artists who must confine themselves to abstractions, artists who can do a reasonable likeness, and artists who create fine art.

We have a choir ? Nobody told me that we have a choir !

I am a gold member. Didn't anybody think that I might enjoy the choir ? :angry:

Auf freiem Grund mit freiem Volke stehn.
Zum Augenblicke dürft ich sagen:
Verweile doch, du bist so schön !

Any pictures? Would love to see some.

No pictures just yet, I'm just getting used to them. As I am a left-handed side push writer, it may take a while.

Yes indeed & a mighty fine choir it is! After receiving my first Kwizi order I decided to celebrate by buying the SECOND fountain pen yesterday.............and as I "pushed that PAY NOW button".............I surely HEARD that choir! (I think you have to just be in the "right frame of mind" to fully "tune in!"

A few hours just sitting with PB at his table is worth the admission for the show.

 

I don't know if he does it for other shows but he usually is at a pen meet n eat the Saturday evening of the

Atlanta show.

 

[EDIT] RiffRaff in the Rocky Horror Picture show <play>, a youth pastor and nibmeister. Ya gotta love him.

He did RIFF RAFF? The mind boggles.... :huh: Although when I bought the 51 with the EF nib from him he was saying something about doing an upcoming production of A Christmas Carol.

Of course, I did see Russell Crowe on The Tonight Show a few years ago and they had dug up footage of *him* playing Eddie, in a production Rocky Horror in New Zealand back in the 1980s....

      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
