Thank you for a nice review of an understated, possibly underappreciated, workhorse of a pen. I went through two No Nonsense fp's when I was in college. They stood up to all kinds of abuse (it never occurred to me to take care of them -- they got tossed around, dropped, chewed on, you name it). I used them to take hundreds of pages of notes, plus many doodles and scribblings, and never had a problem. The No Nonsense will always have a place in my pen cup! :thumbup:

 

BTW, what ink is that? It's pretty.

The ink is MB Bordeaux that has mixed itself with the small amount of blue ink which was in the pen.

Great review!

 

The No Nonsense Viewpoints are perfect eyedropper fill pens. They hold a lot of ink and you can see exactly how much you have left. And, as you see from Georges' review, when you match the ink to the barrel color, they look great too.

I just received one of these from terim (no affiliation, etc., etc.).

 

What could be better than a *red* pen? A *translucent* pen! And what could be better than a translucent pen? A red pen! And what could be best of all?

 

 

Why, that'd be a translucent red pen!

 

Which I've wanted ever since Sheaffer came out with translucent colored barrels to supplement their original clear barreled school cartridge pens what? Fifty years ago? Pen came on a card with 5 cartridges and it cost something like ... well, I digress. :)

 

 

Now, all this new pen has to do is ... write! Which it does! Like a dream! And it's so .... *not* cranky. I'm in love.

 

I just stuck in a converter filled with Noodler's Fox Red and away we went.

 

Which of course begs the question - why does a humble pen perform so well, and a extra sooper sekrit limited edition emblazoned with hummingbird eyebrows (and I have a couple of these) write like a splinter dipped in concrete?

 

Some mysteries of of the universe are simply beyond me.

 

So I've got my Sheaffer translucent red pen now - and I don't have to go looking for a Sheaffer/Levenger Seas Connaisseur Red. I'm OK with that, for now :roflmho:

      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
