안냥 하세요 (Hello) From South Korea

Recommended Posts

Wanted to introduce myself as a new user of the board and a somewhat newbie to collecting new and vintage fountain pens. I currently own 7 pens but have more on their way, I started with buying a couple of kit pens, and a few vintage combos (fountain and pencil). I have been blessed to be able to acquire a couple of pelikans and a set of monte blanc pens that were a school girls during the 1940's from Germany (yes WWII era). I am a Social Studies teacher and coach and buy cheap fountain pens to share with my students from the local stationary stores...

Hello Jake 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!

Welcome, Jake !

 

I love that teachers teach pupils "fountainpenism". My favorite "cheap" fountain pen is the Jihnao x450. They regularly appear on eBay for $1 free shipping.

 

Write with joy.

Thank you for the warm welcomes and cheers to everyone. Thought I would share one of my first pen purchases, a custom made (pen kit) buckeye burl fountain pen...

      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
