  1. 1. To Ink or Not To Ink? That is the question

i don't know anyone really who collects le pens. if one buys a le, it has been my observation that the theme of the pen usually means something to them and they use it. my fountain pen user friends will also stay away from a heavily ornate le pen.

JELL-O, IT'S WHATS FOR DINNER!

Someone once said that nowadays many know the price of everything but the value of nothing.

 

That was said of Margaret Thatcher, UK PM in the 1980's. (i.e. She knew the price of everything but the value of nothing). Interesting how history repeats itself nearly 40 years later.

I wonder if she had a collection of LE pens ? 🙊

The only limited edition pen I would consider not inking is Montblanc Motecuhzoma 1. Although it is way over my price range. If it was half its MSRP, then that's another matter.

 

But in general, I ink all of my pens. No limited editions, but plenty of special editions. I see them as tools mainly. I write at least seven hours a day, seven days a week.

      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
