He Makes Them One At A Time...

Hello Fellow Members!

A friend asked me why I have never owned a Hinze Handcrafted Fountain Pen, and that sounded familiar--because another friend asked me the same question 4-5 months ago. So it was time to act, and here it is--I should not have waited!
This fountain pen was created by expert Custom Pen Maker, Jim Hinze.
The overall appearance fits the strictest definition of superb. The specialty resin of green, orange, and white, seem to move around with a whirling motion--chatoyant is the term used to describe this effect.
The threads are hand-cut quad start, which is unique for a custom pen.

One of the many desirable features of this model, "Amazon Jungle", is that the cap posts deeply which contributes to the ideal balance in the hand during the writing experience. And speaking of writing...Hinze Pens are fitted with Jowo nibs--considered by most fountain pen aficionados to be the most reliable steel nib. As we would anticipate, the nib is smooth and responsive and void of skipping, with a feeder delivering consistent, unobstructed ink flow. Specialty, in-house plating of nibs in a variety of colors is another option available. (See Photo--I picked green in addition to the silver). Nib grade choices are EF, F, M, B, 1.1 Stub, and 1.5 Stub. Mine is a 6mm size medium point. You can ask for 5mm if preferred. Bock nibs are also available upon request.

Sometimes we hear or read about fountain pens whose caps fall off in a pocket. The number of turns to remove and replace this cap is optimal and thus ensures a secure closure.
A Schmidt converter is included, and 2 ink cartridges can be added if desired, also free of charge.
All the features and benefits, including fair pricing, make it easy to understand why Hinze Pens has such loyal supporters! https://hinzepens.com

Nice pen, I assume the material is aluminite. I've been told is not so easy to turn but it does provide some rather interesting results.

 

I'm not a fan of your promo posts, and all those different size and font characters you used make me somewhat dizzy.

Out of curiosity I did look at the linked site, though. The pen turner looks like he knows what he is doing.

 

If I may suggest to him, the site needs more pictures. I'll never buy a pen unless I see what it looks like in all it's detail, and the section and nib is the most important part to see.

It's one of the easier materials to work with actually. So is ebonite and most regular acrylics. Celluloid, when you can find it, is a pain b/c it needs so much more time finishing it, but it's still not too difficult to machine. :)

ah, thanks Shawn, which are the really difficult materials then?

btw I think I've seen some G10 pens you've made!

Well, I've just ordered one and I'm excited to see it when it arrives.  @sansenri I think they took your suggestions, the website now has a lot more photos.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
