Hello,

 

My name is Nick and I have always been fascinated about fountain pens. I used deep pens from an early age simply because they were available in my family. I'm not an artist though and I can't say that I am a Calligrapher. I simply enjoy playing with the inks, the nibs and the paper. I am prone to writing in order to relax and I tend to like flexy nibs. I currently don't own an FP of more than 50euros but I hope to change that in the future.

I wish I will find some Pen friends in here and mostly people that can answer questions about the market of FP and perhaps some locals.

Welcome aboard, Nick, from Charleston, South Carolina. If you're interested in finding other members from the Netherlands, you can search for them and then message them. To search, go to the right upper portion of this page, and find the Search window. Immediately to the right of the Search window is a symbol resembling a cogwheel or sprocket-click on it. A series of boxes will appear: in the one entitled Find Words, type Netherlands. Leave the default button selected for "Forums" selected, and move down to the Find in Forums box-click on the pull down menu to the right, and select Introductions. Then close that menu and hit SEARCH NOW button, and you'll get a list of members from the Netherlands who have introduced themselves. Have fun.

Mike

Wow :)

Thank you all for the warm welcoming! I appreciate it a lot. I think I should make one clarification, I'm living in Luxembourg (Europe) not Netherlands. I'm sorry for the confusion with the flag, the Luxembourgers chose it long before I came here. :D

 

Special thanks to Herrjaeger for your detailed explanation how to find others. I hope I'll manage :blush:

Hello and welcome to FPN, from Cape Town, South Africa.

To sit at one's table on a sunny morning, with four clear hours of uninterruptible security, plenty of nice white paper, and a [fountain] pen - that is true happiness!

      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
