Perhaps a complimentary black Japanese ebonite section would ensure enough celluloid and avoid potential staining issues? Just an idea.

I was thinking something along those lines. Is there a difference between ebonites depending on where it is produced?

Quality and purity of the material. I have seen some lower costs pens in ebonite and they are gritty in look and maybe almost described as muddy. The texture is not as refined either.

 

You can get good ebonite from various sources, not just Japan. If you are not going to see the material until after you get the pen, just be specific to the maker about the quality you seek.

 

I have seen and owned expensive pens made with ebonite that was unimpressive to me so I think about it a bit more than I used to.

My Omas Ogiva Arco hasn't been uninked since I bought it four years ago.

 

Interesting. If I may ask: what do you plan to do with it? You could use it and still enjoy looking at it. To me, an uninked and unused pen is like a like a beautiful and sexy woman that one looks at and talks about and show off ... but never gets to ****. What a waste, I think!

I would interpret "hasn't been uninked" to mean it has been constantly inked for 4 years. So your comments are off point. Edited by zaddick

I think he just misread.

Too many pens; too little writing.

You are a clever zad dick, aren't you. Glad we have you around. Have you been here foe years? I would interpret "foe" to mean ...

 

Off point: "show us you pen!"; I just tell you about mine.

IT'S HERE!

 

Very gorgeous celluloid with some nice veins of silver grey running through it. First time i will ever say this, maybe the last, that rod is larger than i expected.

 

I'm off to ink it up and get some pictures.

Yes, you caught a typo from my phone. Thanks for pointing it out. I am glad you can read some posts carefully. Otherwise it might have been difficult to decipher my meaning.

 

As far as mistyping my user name... so clever. Far more than me I suppose.

 

Enjoy your day.

Using this Burlwood Paragon today. Subtle celluloid compared to the Arco Browns, but oh so beautiful!

      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
