Attila : Awesome photography. And both the pens : wow ! Guess the Turcsany is ebonite. So elegant looking. Wait a min - like the quote ... i'm moved.

Hey everyone, I'm just back after having been out of the loop for nearly a month and I've missed literally pages of posts on this thread. I have no chance to catch up and comment on them all, other than to say how fun it is to see the joy of writing exhibited here. Great pens, inks and writing. When I returned I found a box had arrived with two bottles of the new J. Herbin ink - clearly a victim of Attila's lovely posts - and I'm looking forward to trying it out in the next few days.

 

I find myself with several metal pens inked, for some reason. From top to bottom:

 

Parker 75 sterling silver, factory stub nib, Sailor Tanna japonensis

Sheaffer Imperial 834, factory 1.2mm stub nib, vintage Quink Permanent Blue black

Sailor Black Strip, 18k WG F nib, Noodler's Turquoise

Montblanc 146, Ariel Kullock sterling and gold overlay, 14k B nib, Sailor Eternal Blue

 

fpn_1441137530__img_3083_1024x768.jpg

 

Sorry, I don't have a picture with the nibs or ink - just happy to get this one posted and back in the groove of this thread.

Hi DC ! Welcome home ! You are certainly missed a lot. In your absence, many " Fine and Medium " aliens have dared to play, and we were helpless .

Don't you figure out, even one alien is hiding in your stub zone too ! that Sailor black strip F ???? :)

Seems like my new 0.2 is a little thin for my tastes, and the 0.5 puts down too much ink for the cheap office paper. I will probably bring in my 0.3 but it's got that light green ink in it now, a little hard to read.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

I have been busy with my other "interests" lately but it is always so nice to come back and look through all these pages full of beautiful pens and handwriting by everyone. This thread gives me such joy that it is not decent! :D

This pen has been my favourite ever since I first picked it up, and it almost feels like an extension of my hand. I love it because it is so small, light, and the nib is perfectly suited to my hand. The only and the biggest problem was its ink capacity (or lack thereof). With the standard Platinum converter that comes in Nakaya pens, I can write exactly 6 pages in my A5 notebook and that means I can go through a converter fill in about half an hour. I don't like the soft milky kind of plastic of the Platinum cartridge and refilling it with syringe involves a trip to the sink to wash the syringe afterwards so that was getting pretty annoying.

 

So I decided to do something about it, and did my usual MacGyver DIY job on it. Now the ink capacity is a bit over doubled, and it could be more if only my pen was longer and could accommodate a longer bit of sac added in. Also because it is now a kind of a bulb filler converter, I don't need the syringe and that eliminates trips to the sink for me which is great. I am very happy with the result, and now my little pen is perfect! :happycloud9:

Oh.... That Nakaya.....

 

But meanwhile, when I'm not experimenting with my new Emerald of Chivor ink (you can see a stain or two on the paper), I'm writing letters with some semi-flex dip nibs. This is one of my new favorites. And love the Walnut ink on Tomoe River paper.

The nib, the pen, the ink, the photos: amazing!

 

I'm taking reading notes with two of my faves:

 

Pilot CH92, FM, Pilot Blue

Sailor PG, B, Sailor Oku-yama (with some bonus crazy sheen)

I really like that blue ink.

How do you make it?

Is there a commercially available that resembles it most?

 

Thanks

      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
