This pair popped up a few minutes ago with a BIN at £110 inc free Special Delivery.

 

Both described as new, boxed and unused. I did hesitate for about 60 seconds while I checked on the retail price for the ink (Syo-ro(Pine Tree Dew)) alone which was £30+.

 

Now deduct that off the £110 and then the £8 delivery you get £72 for a new boxed Essential Deluxe Fine point.

 

I think that's a Sumgai.

 

Oh and the description said, offers accepted but not below £140 :huh:

I need to get another Carene. It was my favourite pen. (Un)fortunately it is also my younger brother's favourite and well, I guess it has a new owner...

I have been trying to find the discussion about spending and saving between Phil and Nigel, the two policemen in Early Doors, but am unable for the moment. I will though but in the mean time there are a few good ones here.

Those are some great quotes, Force! Definitely words to live by.

Pen arrived yesterday and is in new condition. The essential wavey chiseled caps are very nice.

 

Or in Waterman's own words,

 

Finely chiselled, rippled sunlight-gold curves wash against deep black lacquer and golden trims, in a precious display of refined elegance.

      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
