Looks good! Is that the one advertised as the "Hongdian Black Forest " at £15.99?

It really writes nicely, I am very happy with it.

Thanks, I did wonder as your picture seemed to show a double step from the section to the nib. It is already discussed on FPN https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/topic/349440-hongdian-fountain-pen-all-black-brand/

Moonman m600s in teal I got last week. Great pen in fine but it clogged with emerald of chivor more than once, so I had to swap to iroshizuku syo-ro instead. Heavy acrylic smell from the cap though. Will post pics when I can

PenBBS 491-19 This has to be one of my favourite PenBBS materials. I mean, just look at the way it picks up, and plays with the light.

Well Malcolm, I think you've just persuaded me to place an order from China! I hope that colour is still available when I can afford it, probably in two or three months.

Jinhao 159 with Thorntons brown ink

 

How are you enjoying the Thornton's ink? This is my first bottle, and I find the orange 'just' satisfactory.

Color is more intense using a broad or 1.1 stub nib. To me with a med or fine nib, it is too pale.

      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

      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
