...would come out with something in the M200/M400/M600 range with red stripes and silver!!! I love the blue/black combos, I really do but can't they mix it up a bit? I see this year's releases so far have shown a definite shift so my fingers are crossed that maybe next year I can have the option of a red or burgundy with silver furniture. I just can't do the gold. Who's with me? :P :lol:

As long as they throw some silver on there, I'm all for it! :)

Could they re-release their "Blue Ocean" from a few years back? It's basically a transparent blue barrel, like in their 200 line, but in the bigger 600-800 size. And I believe it had higher-end details like the fancier nibs, trim, etc.

 

I'm a sucker for pretty colors like blue.

Sometimes I write things (as of 2013

I would love a tortoise M600/M800. That would be cool.

I want to see a 605 in solid blue, like the 805.... really really I do...

I bought the blue 605 from Bertram's Inkwell in Baltimore yesterday. What a coincidence! I really love this pen. What a workhorse - piston fill, interchangeable nib, ink window. Nib gives good line variation despite being fairly rigid. Essentially as light as an M200 with the perfect grip size for me. I think my M800, which is much heavier and just a bit too wide, is going to sit in a drawer from here out. I don't think this M605 can unseat my main daily driver, a ciselé Parker 75 with a wet springy medium nib (was a gift from my maternal grandfather to my dad who passed it to me), but it is a close call!

      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
