Mine are daily use nibs/pens.

 

I suspect the signature nib came about when people stopped learning to write more than their name and perceived any pen that failed to mimic their "free" pens and didn't require gouging into the page to write as somehow reserved for special events. Or maybe they only saw educated people in perceived positions of authority signing off on the documents they brought after "keyboarding" all day?

If I have to sign something I do use my BB, but I mainly use it for writing, notetakeing and general tomfoolery. I have four or five pens inked and pick whichever one appeals to me at the time.

I hardly sign anything any more so my pens get used for most everyday tasks like notes, lists, and drafts or memos. Sadly thr few checks I sign need a roller or ball point as I have carbon copy checks so I need to use pressure to imprint on the carbon paper below. Last time I ordered checks was before you could get a digital image and had to request a photocopy from the bank! How quaint.

If you want less blah, blah, blah and more pictures, follow me on Instagram!

My O3B is going to take longer than estimated to arrive. They seem to be overly busy this time of the year, with newly launched Writers' Editions and all. At least that's the official excuse. :(

 

Still nothing. More than four weeks have passed since placing the order, and I still have no idea when the pen will be delivered. :gaah:

It will be soon, I'm sure of it, Mr Vlad :) Remember that when that wonderful box shows up at your door, the whole wait will have been worth it. I'm excited to see yours when it arrives!

There is an interesting parallel between using a broad nibbed pen for "special occasions" and drinking Champagne only on "special occasions." Those who reserve their broad nibbed pens or their Champagne only for "special occasions" are missing out on life. Champagne goes with almost any kind of food, and an OBBB nib can be used for almost any kind of writing.

Rationalizing pen and ink purchases since 1967.

Churchill and I would agree. Although I am not allowed to have day long buzz at work.

      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
