They are all custom pens. I have recent photos on my Instagram feed and will eventually post here on FPN too.

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

You're a fountain pen impresario.

Month after month, you pull out of your top hat another group of marvels.

Thank you for posting the image above of such distinctive fountain pens.

Tom, thanks a lot.

However, the photo could have been so much better, but I ran out of natural light. OK, I admit, for a pic out of my mobile, it's acceptable ;-)

 

新年快乐，鼠年快乐

 

Cheers,

My latest broad (as in really broad) acquisition, the FC music nib, from the Philadelphia Penn Show:

 

379071-BB-A7-B1-4838-BC24-CBDE362-E8669.

 

The nib writes beautifully, with an excellent flow. It was carefully tuned for me. I would say it writes too large for everyday writing, but I will enjoy using it for calligraphy and whenever I need to make proclamations.

 

I also love the pen. Given my bad photography, it may be hard to see but it is a softly marbled gray resin with a burgundy top.

Beautiful. Did you have this specially ground for you? I would love to have another L2K with a stub or OB nib, perhaps an OBB nib.

Thank you. This is the stock OBB. I did not even have to do minor tweaks to this nib. It was perfect out of the box.

I am so excited. Soon, I will be able to join you all with a new BB nib on a Montblanc Great Characters Edition John F. Kennedy in Navy Blue! Our friends at Fritz Schimpf were able to locate one since this edition is no longer made and will not be made again. It is ordered, the new BB nib will be installed there and then it will be shipped to me. I can't wait and just had to share the news!

Congratulations. I am sure you will enjoy the stubbish nature of the nib and the smooth flow.

      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
