As a friend described Traditional Angling ... "Beside the water I discovered (or maybe rediscovered) the quiet. The sort of quiet that allows one to be woven into the tapestry of nature instead of merely standing next to it." Estaban.

Thank you again...

I have heard lot of rumours that the ink dries up quickly and clogs.. have u faced any kind of issue...

I have issue with Hard starts and i saw some ink clogging in tines...

 

Apologies for the delay in replying, mehandiratta, I had completely missed this post.

 

I can't say that I have had any noticeable problems with the Imperial Blue. Have just inked up a couple of TWSBIs (580 with B nib, and Vac 700 with 1.1) with it, and shall be taking particular note.

I finally got around to inking up my brand new MB 149 (medium). Writes more like a wet broad. I miss my older 149. It'll take some time to break in the nib to the way I want it.

Kaweco Sport Skyline Extra-Fine (Gray)

 

I'm using Caran d'Ache Magnetic Blue cartridges. I "needed" some cartridges in order to use it (no, the included one is not fun enough)

and since I think CdA's ink is overpriced, taking a small box of cartridges was a decent way to splurge.

      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
