Rationalizing pen and ink purchases since 1967.

Beautiful pens. Not for me though, I will happily admire the artistry of maki-e pens from a safe distance.

Ooooohhhh shiny! Must resist ... second mortgage.

:lticaptd:

Early on, I found some website that was chock full of exquisite maki-e pens, but of course I know that urushi is the same stuff that's in poison ivy, and I am massively massively allergic to the stuff. Showed the site to my husband and said "Guess what, dear? I just saved you $20,000!"

Somehow the philistine (er, darling husband) was not sufficiently appreciiative of my self-sacrifice....

      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

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
