Hello all,

I'm a new member. I found two pens at my family house one Korean and one Japanese, definitely from the 80's and I will love to know more about. Thank you for your help.

1. Korean Pen

Small, thin pen,says Apis inside.

2. Japanese Pen

Normal size, says Kutsuwa.

Oh, I know this of myself

I assume as much for other people

Same here. Easily better pens than those I've paid 10x as much for.

Hey MG66, you don't have an MGB hiding in the shed do you?

 

Logical guess, but no. MG are the initials of a pen name I've used and I was born in 1966.

Pilot Decimo (Light Grey) F nib -- Iroshizuku Yama-budo.

unknown model Wearever lever filler (blue) -- IG Mandarin. Unfortunately, I discovered that the bottle wasn't completely closed, so the ink has seriously oxidized :( Instead of going down orange and oxidizing to a nice shading light brown, it's going down looking like it's a *gold* ink, with a slightly greenish undertone. Okay if that's what you like.... But NOT what I expected. Or wanted....

Guess I'm doing a bit more ink shopping at B/W than I had planned....

My picture says that I am using "Tsuki-you" ink. It is the same as "Tsuki-yo" but Pilot only sells it to people who can't spell!

 

I did finish a whole 15ml bottle however!!!

      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
