Today it's been the 1950s era Pelikan 400, OB nib, with Edelstein Olivine, LE; and the Pilot Decimo, F nib, with Iroshizuku Take-sumi.

Pelikan M620 Shanghai filled with Montblanc Toffee Brown, hence the dark barrel. It has just returned from a repair to replace the inner cap. That's why it has a gold tassie and not the original black one.

Noodler's Boston Safety, black ebonite (flex nib) with Noodler's Luck of the Draw LE.

Pelikan M400 Brown Tortoise (F nib) with vintage-ish Skrip Brown (yellow box, but not the really old yellow box with instructions on how to fill a Sheaffer Snorkel).

Cross Solo, blue (B nib) with Campo Marzio Bordeaux (really more of a berry red color with tons of shading).

Pilot Decimo, grey (F nib) with Iroshizuku Take-sumi.

And (to check that it had been filled): Parker 51, Plum (M nib) with De Atramentis Aubergine.

      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
