Edison Pens -- The Pearl


Hennypenny

Recommended Posts

In any event, I wanted to point this out. If you like a smooth, wet Italian nib, I would suggest you go for the Taccia nib; if you like feedback, go for the Bock. I'd be interested to know if anyone else has noticed this, or if Brian has any comments about it. And don't get me wrong -- BOTH nibs are wonderful -- it's just a matter of preference. And it's great to have the option of choosing -- or getting both and switching them.

Hi HP.

 

I thought that I would comment. Really, either nib can write however you want in regards to flow and feedback. There are inherent differences between steel and gold, but the flow and feedback has little to do with the material, in my opinion. The CI nib was made purposely with some feedback. The Taccia nib was made to have less flow, but I don't remember you saying that you wanted more feedback. I can do that it you wish.

 

My apologies if I misunderstood your request.

 

OK -- I stand corrected. And really, I'm happy with the Taccia nib! I like having a variety of nibs, and it's tuned right up there with the best of them. So I'll keep it exactly as it is. But thanks for answering and your thoughts on my observation. I'm sure it'll help others when they're planning their Edison orders!! HP

      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
