What Pen Are You Waiting For In The Mail 2016


RMN

Recommended Posts

I am waiting for a Montblanc 220. I am very excited about the nib, which appears to be a white gold double broad or at least a broad. Here is a picture from the seller:

Will love to see a writing sample when you get it. Have some thoughts about a nib like this ;)

Practice, patience, perseverance

I was naughty and just purchased 6 JinHaos - I keep hearing their supposed to be good, and I wanted a new pen. I like the colors that were offered. (5 250s and 1 450x). One looks like it has flames on it - I'm thinking that one, with red ink, might be a good Christmas present for my son (who is a Minnesota State University - Moorhead dragon.).

A Dark Lilac Safari, with a converter, for a friend. She liked the look of mine and told me over the weekend that she would really like to have a fountain pen. She's trying the M nib for now. I had previously gotten her a few bottles of KWZI ink in the last FPN group buy, and when the pen comes in I'll walk her through the pre-flushing process and how to fill it.

Thought she might like a Pilot Metropolitan, because it's a cheaper pen, but she was just so enamored of the Dark Lilac color.... :rolleyes: (Her second choice, if the Dark Lilac was no longer available, would have been Red.)

Yum. That looks like an OBB, or at least an OB.

Rationalizing pen and ink purchases since 1967.

I received the Montblanc 220 yesterday. I had some problems with it. If you are interested, i created a topic here: https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/topic/312424-installing-a-sac-in-a-montblanc-220p/

 

I also posted a writing sample, for those of you who were interested.

 

 

 

Thanks!

Just purchased a Parker 75 Black Lacquer with a medium nib. I've got a Parker 75 Cisele already that I've bought several nibs for, so I'm all set up! And impatient...

I'm waiting on a custom pen... but now into the seventh month of waiting I'm kinda losing interest to be honest. I feel that this will prove to be a waste of $250 that could have gone toward something more appropriate. I guess we learn from our mistakes, sometimes.

Black Waterman Carene with medium nib. Also a Nakaya Portable Cigar in Kikyo with a broad nib.

      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
