I visited Bittner’s in Carmel this weekend. Ended up putting in for an Armando Simoni Club Arco Verde in gold trim with their Magic flex nib. I tried the nib on a brown Arco ASC pen in stock and it was dead smooth! This is the last of the Omas Arco Verde material. It would have been fantastic to get it in a faceted pen but the rarity of an Omas in Arco Verde these days has driven prices through the roof. This ASC pen should be very special though especially with a #8 flex nib. I’m expecting delivery in June. Can’t wait!

Someday the mountain might get em but the law never will.........

A Wancai mini pen in mint swirl that comes with a 1.1 stub nib. It looks so darn cute.

Grr... got my "like new" 144 and it's a disaster! OK -- dried ink, I can deal with that. But in the course of cleaning it, I found that the end of the pen is broken in several places and the tines of the nib are horribly misaligned.

I am waiting on a Tabo CO which should turn up in a few weeks. I am mainly curious about it, and happily for curiosity, the price was low. Tabo went out of business during 1948, about a year after Aurora brought out their famous 88. From pictures, the Tabo CO looks like they went to Aurora and asked for some spare 88s with the ends flattened so they could write Tabo on there. ;) I will say something more after it arrives and I can find out how well or whether it operates.

      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
