Hello!

I have been enjoying the Constellations88, "Elements" fountain pens, in the Bromine and Sulfur finishes. A friend saw them and wanted one, but they were sold out at the time, so when he learned that more were produced, he was able to purchase. I was informed that the short-term unavailability of the Elements Series was because it was a release of only 88 pieces, produced in two lots.

The attached photo is of my new "Plasma" model, a gift which arrived yesterday. There are 5 color options, and this one is named, Fluid Brown. Online and beyond, we see many Demonstrator fountain pens from which we can choose, but only one like the Plasma--a splendid work of art, blended into a functional fountain pen...with a Bock nib and feeder!

As I know the manufacturer, I asked about the pen case included with the pen, assuming that it was a gift in addition to the Plasma. Well, it is a gift--from Constellations88! They include the pen case with the Plasma as their gift to their customers. The Plasma has a few other noteworthy features/benefits. Performance...it writes just right! Appearance...spectacularly attractive! (The finial silver coin adds to the overall style). Design/Quality/Fit and Finish...exceptional! The cap/barrel threading on many fountain pens leave a lot to be desired. Not so with this Plasma--flawless threading operation>the threads do not bind, catch, "hang-up", one of my issues with modern fountain pens, so thank you Constellations88, for your focused attention to excellence in manufacturing! Now what about price? The website** shows a price reflecting great value--this pen at that price is a super deal!

      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
