Penbbs 350 Vs 352


MuddyWaters

Recommended Posts

Does anyone have these two models and could compare the size and their relative comfort? I think I find the shape of pens like twisbi eco, wing sung 3008 most comfortable and this seems to fit the bill. The 350 has the added bonus of being metallic. By the specs listed on Etsy, seems the 352 is 15mm longer but everything else seems quite similar.

 

Thanks

Here are some size comparisons between the models. Hope it helps!

Personally, I found the 352 more comfortable because I felt that the 350s threads were on the sharp side for me.

I prefer the aluminum 380, with its beautiful, perfectly machined spiraling facets.

 

the 352 is just a nice big superlight acrylic pen. The 352 posts really nicely. But they're completely different pens. The 352 is very very close in feel to the 355, which its only real noticeable difference is being lighter.

I ended up getting a 352 as it is bigger than the 350. The 352 will be coming through the mail the week most likely. I have high hopes for it as being my most comfortable pen. I've grown to find the twsbi eco, wing sung 3008 type pens as most comfortable shape and the penbbs 352 is basically that in nicer material and lighter and likely better balance. These are pens to use at home so I dont care that they are converter pens.

 

Lately, I had been drooling over the delike bent nib but it is so short that for comfort is not ideal. The regular upturned penbbs is not as good a writer but does a passable job. I have found my 323 easier to hold than a custom 823 and hoping the 352 is a further comfort upgrade for me.

      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
