Delike Alpha Sport Clone


Tom_Moritz

Recommended Posts

After reading many positive reviews I bought a Delike Alpha from Amazon. Now I'm sure mine is just defective, as turning the pens lose threads the nib GROUND INTO THE TOP OF THE CAP.

 

Currently the tips of the tines are bent sideways, and won't likely write. I'm curious is anyone here has had this problem.

 

The pen arrived lose in the packaging, to say the cap wasn't tightly screwed to the barrel. I'd imagine whoever packaged the pen realized this. Quite upset, but I planed on modding it anyways. Oh well.

I've been here a while. I'm familiar with Jinhao and the like, standard centralized manufacturing affair. I know this is made by the same company.

 

This thing can't be used as it is. Cap's inner ring is too low down. Being that it is plastic glued haphazardly to the inside I can't remove it to change the position.

 

Wasn't expecting perfection, I did expect it to write at the very least.

      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
