It stayed within FPN!

 

I decided to reward myself after a particularly busy May by window-shopping for maki-e pens (as one does) and saw it on Bryant's site. I missed out on one in the Classifieds a couple years ago and regretted it; I told myself that if I ever saw one again I would get it with no hesitation. And so I did! It's everything I hoped it would be (now with a smooth EF nib and inked with Pelikan Amethyst). Unfortunately, as stated on the listing, the original box/pillow/kimono were missing. But I got over that pretty quickly after seeing the pen. Also, Bryant made up for it with a spiffy nib-shaped bookmark :)

 

Congratulations. These are beautiful pens with a great story. And, not easy to come by!

May we live, not by our fears but by our hopes; not by our words but by our deeds; not by our disappointments but by our dreams.

Hi. This was a single mass purchase order for a one off design from ages ago rather than a club or grouping.

 

But they sure are nice. Which of the Kids Pen do you have? I have one of the Peach Boy.

      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
