Can't put my finger on why I neither like nor dislike this.

Selling a boatload of restored, fairly rare, vintage Japanese gold nib pens, click here to see (more added as I finish restoring them)

No body likes Spinach, but it is good for ya

Heresy!!! Spinach is my favorite veggie, in all its forms, and I may just go out and buy this pen to prove it!

Ah, the ringless pen... with two rings.

 

I think I see three, though I may have counted incorrectly. One on the section, one at blind end cap, and one on cap above (at) the clip.

I was trying to be a little nice with the clip ring as it serves some purpose, although it really should count as they use a clip on the ebonite KOP that has no clip ring.

If you want less blah, blah, blah and more pictures, follow me on Instagram!

I actually like the rings on the Sailors. The relatively hefty rings provide a certain "weight" (visually and literally) to Sailor pens.

Dear God... that is the exact colour of my grandparents kitchen suite they bought in 1972!

If that pen is the same color as Sailor Epinard ink then I'd be very tempted to pay U.S. prices for a King of Pen in that color.

Bingo! my thought exactly @Honeybadgers can read minds :yikes:

 

I got the Stormy Sea, another North American exclusive but time has dulled the "magic", didn't help that it is a zoomer

Yes, I had all the clues, but I did not think about it. That must be the reason they chose that color.

Wow, live and learn. Good one :thumbup:

Had a look at the pens in DC. Kept walking.

 

Lew Bleu is pretty close to dead on! Just shows what the late 60's did to all of us who lived through that period! We thought Avocado Green and Harvest Gold were THE thing!

I saw the "ringless" pen in a store and was underwhelmed. The plastic just doesn't have the same appeal as ebonite. Instead of looking minimal and rare, it kind of looked cheap. Pass.

      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
