Has anyone purchased this particular pen case? https://www.amazon.com/Lehom-Display-Fountain-Collector-Organizer/dp/B07XTHFP8P/ref=sr_1_8?dchild=1&keywords=wooden+pen+case&qid=1595159276&sr=8-8

 

What are your thoughts? Are there any other alternatives under $100? I prefer to pay no more $80. It has to fit Pelikan m800 or smaller sized pens. I am okay with fitting m600 sized pens. Must be able to hold at least 10 pens, but 20ish is preferred.

A quick search for "pen display case" on AliExpress shows at least three different products in that price range. No idea how deep or wide the pen slots are, though, because I didn't bother to look into the details.

I endeavour to be frank and truthful in what I write, show or otherwise present, when I relate my first-hand experiences that are not independently verifiable; and link to third-party content where I can, when I make a claim or refute a statement of fact in a thread. If there is something you can verify for yourself, I entreat you to do so, and judge for yourself what is right, correct, and valid. I may be wrong, and my position or say-so is no more authoritative and carries no more weight than anyone else's here.

Can you get your hands on an old cutlery box? If so you could order your own pen tray and fit it inside. I bought mine because it was only $40, but it fits 16 pens across. The loops on the top of the case won't fit a thick pen since they're made for utensils, but if you've got some shorter pens you would be able to "stack" them in the tray.

 

This one came with a felt like liner, and the box is real wood. I'm sure you could ebay yourself and old silverware box. I've never bought from Aliexpress, but it seems like it's just a lot of cheaply made trash.

AliExpress is a marketplace very much like Amazon, in that both sell cheaply made trash and good stuff alike. It is not a maker of goods nor a brand name for goods.

I stand by my opinion. Reviews are terrible. Plus let's be honest. Canada's relationship with China is barely salvageable. It's a matter of time before they stop shipping to us anyway.

      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
