Is Diabolo available with "f" nib?

Yes, the one pictured has a fine nib. And the line is fairly true to what you expect from a fine.

Today I am using my Wilde with medium nib. It must be my third or fourth fill since I bought it NOS and finally the flow seems to be settling just right. I'm using the 90 year permanent grey ink.

Love seeing such a terrific nib in use.

The fine woodwork is another example of craftsmanship at its best.

Your images are inspiring — a nice way to begin the day.

Thank you.

You're welcome. I can't take credit for the table. One of my great-grandmothers had good taste and bought quality.

Rationalizing pen and ink purchases since 1967.

Haven't inked the Platinum 146 broad in months. Going to ink it with some corn poppy red today. Also haven't touched that ink in years. What to write .... Hmmm ... What to write?

      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

      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
