First, thank you :D

 

You don't need an expensive oblique holder to write well. As long as it fits your hand it would work perfectly. Many of them, you could adjust the flange (the part that holds the nibs) so it could adjust to your writing style.

 

My previous nib holder was too thick for me so I decided to get this one because it is thinner and also very pretty :)

 

This one was tuned to hold the Leonardt EF Principal, but I could accept other nibs, such as the Hunt 101 and anything similar in style.

 

Thank you and I am having some less expensive holders. Thank you and I am impressed by your hand. It is lovely

Inkyfingers I am a fan of you and this pen is very original :lol:

Elegant scripts here, Dill, Houston, Cjayant.

Dill appreciate feedback from a " guru " I love your Penmanship and I am very impressed by your work and I know all that is after a lot of hard work. I mean more time and practice. Thank you and I am on the right track now and need more patience full practicing. THANKS ...

Beautiful pens and rollstops. Where did you find them? They look more substantial than the ones I’ve been able to find

Comparing Lamy T53 Peridot in a short review with the colour of a Pelikan binding. They do look close.

 

(Write examples: 1 2 I'm not done yet with my tests, still trying to find out what is wrong with it and getting to stop having so many break-ups in the flow.)

Pens are like watches , once you start a collection, you can hardly go back. And pens like all fine luxury items do improve with time

Houston : Your hand writing is elegantly clear and a looker. And the pen is so majestic , companionably silent tho'.

BTW idiosyncratic writing style is often idyllic !

According to my spreadsheet, that was Diamine Marine.

I endeavour to be frank and truthful in what I write, show or otherwise present, when I relate my first-hand experiences that are not independently verifiable; and link to third-party content where I can, when I make a claim or refute a statement of fact in a thread. If there is something you can verify for yourself, I entreat you to do so, and judge for yourself what is right, correct, and valid. I may be wrong, and my position or say-so is no more authoritative and carries no more weight than anyone else's here.

      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
