Good morning my new friends

 

As an introduction, I am a relatively new fountain pen user, although when at school, back in the dark ages, in England, I was forced to use a fountain pen and this had a bearing on my hatred of them for so many years.

 

A couple of years ago, I decided to try again and purchased a Parker IM and began writing with it. I instantly fell in love and have continued to use fountain pens on a daily basis.

 

My collection has grown and now consists of:

Jinhao 5000. A surprisingly nice pen to write with, although the converter was rubbish and broke quite quickly. A cheap pen that over-delivers

Parker IM. My first fountain pen and still going strong

Lamy 2000 Stainless Steel. Wonderful pen. Nice and heavy and steady

Pelikan Souveran M800. Possibly my nicest writing pen. Super reliable and well balanced.

S.T Dupont Line D (New). My latest edition. Also a very nice writing pen, although the posted cap spins (very odd and disconcerting)

Visconti Homo Sapiens Bronze. This is my weekend pen. Doesn't always start first time and chews a lot of juice, but WOW, what a pen.

 

Anyway, I am looking forward to talking fountain pens with you all

Welcome home. Pull up a stump and set a spell. I'm not sure the Line D pens were designed to post like the Orpheo/Olympio models.

Welcome to FPN! Great collection...

Whenever you are fed up with life, start writing: ink is the great cure for all human ills, as I found out long ago.

Hi Jar and thanks for yours and all other welcomes.

When I purchased my Line D in Japan last month, I had a choice of two models.

The other one I was told was not to be posted, but the one I bought could be. It clicks into position on the back of the pen, but is free to rotate (weird, I know).

I was told it is a new model Line D, with a fluted section. It is a long pen, but definitely designed to post the cap.

It writes beautifully, as well..

Hello and welcome to FPN, from Cape Town, South Africa.

To sit at one's table on a sunny morning, with four clear hours of uninterruptible security, plenty of nice white paper, and a [fountain] pen - that is true happiness!

Hi Ozzy

 

Thanks for your welcome and notice of my pens. I actually added up what I paid for them the other day and got a scare. Still, I am sure my little collection is nothing compared to a serious collector

      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
