Yard O Led Pocket


ForgottenMemo

Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

Ever since I've seen the Yard-o-Led FPs, I feel like it would both make a great gift or to keep. I would like to buy a pocket size to try first (yes, I love small FPs), but I've heard that they come without converters. As an avid fan of ink refills, I find that a little disappointing, even FPs the size of Chalana has its own converter! So my question to those Yard-o-Led fans out there - is there a particular converter that may fit onto a the YoL Viceroy pockets?

Not one that would be worth having. The YoL Pocket definitely does not follow the royal rule of an heir and a spare.

The pen though is really nice, one of my favorites and gets far more than its fair share of pocket time.

Thanks replying so fast!

 

Yes, the YoL does have a stunning look, if I was to go for any pocket model at all, my best chances lies with a syringe and an empty cartridge.

 

Whilst browsing online, i realized there was actually a Retro Pocket some time back. It seems like that they are no longer available, but I'll keep searching!

Unfortunately, I think that the YoL pocket pens only take small International Standard cartridges -- not even the full size ones. :(

You'd think that a pen that expensive would have made some sort of accommodations. I keep hoping to win the lottery someday -- it's the only way I'd be able to afford a Viceroy Victorian. But I'd likely be looking at the Standard (if it wasn't too heavy) simply because I *could* put a converter in it. The problem with the Pocket size pens is that they're just too short for that.

The standard size looks really nice, maybe I'll come around to convince myself one day... That is if I still have not decided on the pocket purchase :P

The standard is nice, about the diameter of a #2 pencil. The pocket actually feels wider in hand.

      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
