Superb Pairing




~ The ink shown above has been a pleasure to use in wider-nibbed Montblanc fountain pens.



Shown above with a Pelikan Classic M120 Iconic Blue Fritz Schimpf Italic B Grind pen, Fritz Schimpf Fritzrot Rusty Red ink is well-behaved, easy to flush from nibs, and smoothly writes on quality paper.



I've found that the moderately darker hue is suitable for workplace tasks, never seeming overly bright.



I'll be using it regularly in Montblanc fountain pens which are primarily used to write comments on student research or experimental manuscripts.



Tom K.

Wow Tom, what an amazing tribute photo..! As ever, you never cease to amaze with the quality and thought of your endeavored posts!

It is a magnificent shame that such a monumental edifice was partially destroyed by the old fire... a source of destruction to so much of the ancients...!

 

As for the strawberry photo, I loved it! Nature and pens go so well together...!

~ JesusNeverTappedOut:

 

Thank you for your very kind comments.

The 145 “Les Splendeurs de Paris” M nib writes reasonably fine if lightly held.

It performs especially well on Fritz Schimpf Feinpost paper, which brings out the best in both nibs and inks.

I've never heard of 254s or wing nibs. After reading your question, I asked others what it meant.

Tom,

Here is a link to a MB 252...they also made it in a 254. The pen is Sold however the pictures are nice.

      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
