Hey, Tas, that Namiki looks like it was rode hard and put away wet. :)

 

Here's my latest pen. I haven't purchased very many fountain pens in the last year, but the two I have are new retro-looking pens, and this is the latest. I just couldn't resist. I know it's not the most popular style of Pelikan, but I was able to get it for significantly less than the rather outrageous MSRP, and I'm loving it.

That's a neat looking Parker 25. They look quite rare now. Love your use of the MB Permanent Blue ink. It's still my favourite, used a lot with my Pilot 912 FA.

 

 

Thanks! Sometimes its as if i do not have several bottles of other blue/blue-black inks available for use :)

Added another pen to my rotation today...

These are nice, dependable pens with a classical look

Can I have some information about that pen wrap in the firs picture?

It‘s a Manhattan Portage. It serves me quite well, I don‘t use it on expensive pens though.

I got it via Massdrop and after getting used to it a bit, I like it quite a lot.

I also wanted to get the clamshell version, but I was too late for that. But there is always a next time on Massdrop.

      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
