Warren G. Harding pronounced it "ekwa" in his "Normalcy" speech. "What this country needs is not... nostrums but normalcy... not experimentation but equipoise...."

Fred, what did the person saying you were wrong believe was more correct?

Get this: ek-wa-peez

That's even worse than poise to rhyme with Boise

 

Kinda reminds me of a certain warner bros. rabbit pronouncing a certain New Mexico town,"AL-buh-koik-eee"...............

Okay, so I found the oddest transitional/ equipoise wahl I ever seen today. I did not but, but it has what appears to be black formed ends, on a green and bronze pen, the pen looks like a type 3, in the discussion above, bu extend 3/4~ for the cap, and maybe 1/2" for the barrel. I tried to get a picture, but was wondering if anyone ever seen this before? both the pen and pencil have the same style of manufacture, so it is not a discolor band by any means. I did not buy the set, becuase it was priced too high for the set, with barrel thread damage. Just wondering, that's all....

      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
