I wondered if any of you guys is trying to get this shiny fellow:

eBay item #330239307263

 

:wub: :wub: :wub:

 

Lovely, in my opinion, but I'm still not a "hardcore" enough collector to buy something like this...

But in like... 3 months time? who knows? ;) I really like this kind of design.

 

PS.

I know that it seems it looks better than it performs (see this topic), but it appeals to me nevertheless.

That is a beautiful pen.

 

If you liked this, I am sure you would like the Yard O Led pens too.

 

Have a look.

This is the kind of pen I can enjoy looking at, especially in person. But I do not like all metal pens. I would be very uncomfortable using this pen, or one like it. So I would never be a competitor in bidding for this pen.

Pretty, but probably darn heavy in the hand. Box candy, really.

Waaaayyyyy beyond my budget but nice looking pen. I am more the celluloid/resin pen type so I am in the same boat as FranB.

Didn't know this thread is about my pen... until I clicked on the link.

 

Glad you guys liked the pen. Thepen is actually NOT heavy since it is on the skinny side.

Oh man! I was following this auction, was tempted to bid... all the way down to 4 seconds left... I don't know how I restrained myself.

 

Oh right... I want to take that cross-country road trip later this year and I just bought the Visconti Metropolis... and apparently the Nakaya Piccolo I ordered two months ago just shipped...!

 

Still... I was so tempted. I was relieved when the auction was over.

Hi,

 

OK, I will go against the general flow here, I really don't like this type of pen (including YOLs for that matter), but a good thing we all like different things.

 

Never been mad keen on metal sections either (I will avoid where possible), so I would happily spend this sort of money on other pens and leave this type to those that I know will appreciate them.

 

No offence intended just how I feel about this type of pen.

      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
