For FPN members in the San Francisco Bay Area, MaiDo in the big Westfield mall in SF is having a 10% off sale from April 1-15. If the California Legislature and Arnie end up hiking our sales tax by another 1%, then I guess the discount will just cover our sales tax.

 

I do not know if the sale extends to the MaiDo down in the South Bay. I'd call and ask!

I subscribe to The Rule of 10 (pens, that is)

I've not been to the one in SF but I've bought stuff from the one in San Jose.

 

MaiDo carries the major Japanese brands:Pilot,Sailor, and Platinum. They sell, in many cases, the Japanese market stuff. I bought a Black Pilot Custom 74 and a Platinum Koi celluloid last time I was there. They had Sailor 1911 models and some Pro gear and a King of Pen. They also have cartridges and converters for sale.

 

Then they also sell a whole range of Japanese stationary.

Anybody know if they have an online presence? Did a google search, and only came up with yellow pages and business directories.

The one in San Jose is at Santana Row.

 

It's about 5-6 shops down from the Sur La Table.

I have looked for a web site to no avail.

Mai-do also has a frequent buyer card--I think if you spent $100, you'd get 10 bucks off on your next purchase.

I stopped by yesterday PM. I am a newbie on pen pricing overall, but I noticed a great deal on the Pilot Capless. They were marked at $100. With 10% off to $90, I do not think anyone beats it.

By any chance, would MaiDo carry Waterman pens?

They do not. They only carry Japanese pens (and stationery).

      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
