I’ll only buy pens with stub or italic nibs now.

"I can't imagine spending over $200 on a pen."

Have no idea what you're talking about. :rolleyes:

"I have everything I wanted! I feel like my pencil case/ collection is completed", immediately followed by the fatal "What more could I want?"

:( :rolleyes:

 

This thread made me laugh a lot! :D

I'm 69 and I'm sick of pens. I don't want any more pens.

 

I just need that one more old no longer made Montblanc converter for my old black plastic threaded 144 that can't use the new converters. I know there's one in the pen and two new ones in the box, and yeah, I'm 69 and converters last about ten years, but I need three or four spares.

 

Oh, and I need that new black section for that old 144 so I can use the new converters when the old ones are used up.

 

The 144 nib and feed don't really fit right into this new black section. Looks like something for a Mozart, with shorter thread part. GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

I don't collect, I accumulate.... (yeah, right)

Hey, that is true. (Collections usually have some kind of theme, like € coins, or every colour of Kaweco Al-sport) :ninja:

You do not have a right to post. You do not have a right to a lawyer. Do you understands these rights you do not have?

 

Kaweco Supra (titanium B), Al-Sport (steel BB).

Parker: Sonnet (dimonite); Frontier GT; 51 (gray); Vacumatic (amber).

Pelikan: m600 (BB); Rotring ArtPen (1,9mm); Rotring Rive; Cult Pens Mini (the original silver version), Waterman Carene (ultramarine F)

"Thanks, honey, for buying this (beautiful new fountain pen) for me. It is everything I have every wanted, and I am sure that it is the last pen I will buy."

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
