Okay... Who Dipped Kermit In Sour Cream?

Recommended Posts

I couldn't help it. This one is called kiwi something or other, but all I can think about is Kermit the Frog. This is a cigar shaped pen that I made. It is 6 inches long has 14mm threads on the cap to body connection. It has a polished medium JOWO nib. And all it makes me think of is a frog, frog puke, frog guts, frogs in sour cream, frog in a snowstorm, and on and on and on.... The pen itself uncapped is 5 3/4" long and the cap does not post on the body ribbit... Anywho I'd love to hear what everyone thinks. Both good and bad ribbit.

Too big for Kermy, I'm afraid - although it could be his offspring by Miss Piggy or the other lady pig (the one with the curly hair) or, on a more unsavoury note, the remains of Kermit after exploding from pride, according to Aesop's old story (or indeed for eating too much cream, indeed). Beyond such imagery, I like the pen because it's big and gives me the impression that it would fit my hand. My only concern is that I should find an appropriate ink for it but I've never ventured in the area of light green inks before. A light khaki could do the trick, too.

Frog in a blender. Frognog.

 

I think because of the warm colours of the blank a gold nib might look better. Still a good pen no matter how you look at it.

Nice! I'd put a bold green ink in it and call it my St. Patrick's day special.

      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
