O dear, here I go thinking it over again! Good to know I still can...

This is going to seem an odd post for this thread, but it all started with me reading this thread and thinking about how we have a LEE and a LEA going on and how nice it would be to get a LEC (celluloid) and then thinking there probably aren't sufficient stocks of any celluloid for that.

 

I wonder if it would be possible to get rod stock of the vegetal resin used for the Noodler's Nib Creeper and Ahab pens. Those pens themselves are pretty clearly injection molded, but I'd guess getting rod stock is just injection molding the same material into a rod mold, right?

 

I'm not sure if Nathan would be willing to share his source with Brian Gray, if that source can make rod stock, or if this would be worth the effort, but I do know I really love the way that material feels sort of like celluloid (something somebody else also noted in another thread I read today). I know I'd also love a high end type pen in a material like the Ahab's Ivory Darkness.

Okay. I'm in. I do want to watch how you get that shine on Ebonite.

OK. We have a final tally. I'll start a separate thread later today. Stay tuned....

*sigh* This is the downside of the Army life cycle. I always miss out on these. I've been lusting after a Pearl for years now. I was absolutely crushed when I got home from deployment last April and saw the LE Pearl Urushi I had missed out on. Will have to start saving nickels and dimes when I leave in Nov, and hope I can catch the next one. Brian, you do amazing work.

As I noted to George, there is another group buy going on through some time this week at Badger & Blade forum. It is for an Edison Herald Grande in ebonite.

      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
