College Student Looking For New Pen

Steven Austin the former pro wrestler or Steven Austin the Six Million Dollar Man? Not that they are significantly different in strength :)

 

I was thinking of the guy who founded the Texas Rangers, actually.

;)

(Kidding, of course. It has to be the proper Steve Austin who defeated a furry-ed up Andre The Giant, not the wrassler who impersonated him...)

I recommend the Pilot Kakuno (roughly 13$), a nicely-sized plastic pen with EF, F or M nibs to choose from. If you find the colorful caps childish remember that there is an all dark gray model and a demonstrator model. If you don't want to stick to cartridges you need to buy either the Pilot Con-40 or Con-50 converter. You can use the longer Con-70 only with the clear/demonstrator model or with the models that have a white barrel, not the dark gray barrel. Remember this.

 

 

Only the very first release of dark gray barrel pens didn't fit the con 70. All Kakuno pens have fit the con 70 for at least the past three years.

...only the first release? Oh my, and how is somebody supposed to know when a pen from an online retailer has been manufactured?

 

By the way, this is good news, I like the color combinations of the dark gray barrel model more.

      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
