Great photos as usual Tom :) It is always so a pleasure to show your pens highlighted by nice staging.

 

~ Cyrille:

 

That's so kind of you. Thank you.

Montblanc pens are useful as writing tools, yet they're also objects of refined beauty.

It's instinctive to pair them with the natural beauty of flowers.

So sad.... Just as I was falling in love with my first, my only, EF I notice this chip near the nib. It doesn't seem to make a difference in the functionality, though....

 

~ Shannon:

 

Your EF does indeed look lovable. If it's writing well for you, that's the key.

I'm sorry for the small chip. When I look in the mirror each morning, I wonder how I came to lose chips here and there, accented by assorted scratches.

Such is life in a lovely but imperfect world.

Do enjoy writing with your EF, as such a nib is great fun to use!

Oh dear. Still, falling in love involves wrinkles and scars sometimes.

 

~ Ghost Plane:

 

For those of a certain age, the wrinkles and scars are standard tokens of love and affection.

^^This.

 

I actually prefer to use pens that have seen some action, but I hate being the one to make the first ding. Thanks all for the reminder that we're all a little better for a life well lived!

My fingers are always inky and I'm always looking for something new.  Interested in trading?  Contact me!

      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
