Nice? NICE?!!! That's not just nice, its amazing! From what I can tell the FS3 nibs are exceedingly hard to come by. Way to go Brian! :thumbup:

I love this thread.

You guys made me order a JoWo #5 1.1 mm nib.

Any idea if it is an italic or a stub?

 

It's somewhere in between. What some people call a cursive italic. Similar to a Lamy Safari/Al-Star/etc. 1.1, at least in my experience.

Thanks to all who continue to post such wonderful photos. Tomorrow, I hope I will have time to try out several pens I just got back from Pendleton Brown; with any luck I will get some photos I can post.

Rationalizing pen and ink purchases since 1967.

I just realized its been a while since I posted anything here, though I continue to use stubs every day. Here's a nifty pen I bought several years ago, reminded today by gawain3 how wonderful Sailors are:

 

Sailor Naginata Togi Ribbed, 21k Music/Stub by Minuskin

 

This pen is the same size as Sailor's 1911 Large. Only 25 of these were made in canary yellow, a special run introduced by Sailor at the 2009 Atlanta Pen Show and sold out by show's end. This pen is not injection molded but turned on a lathe, part of Sailor's Bespoke collection. Greg Minuskin took the stock Sailor 21k music nib and made it sing - a fantastic nib with wonderful line variation.

My latest stub acquisition - a flexible one. It's actually a bit crisper of a cut, like an italic, but it is labeled as a stub.

This picture makes me super envious every time I see it. Thanks for posting it though, so I can drool some more! :D

I have an M800 fine nib. Is there anything that can give it some character other than making it into an XF, or is there not enough material to work with? Who might you suggest to do the work?

You could have it made into a stub. There are quite a few people who do this work. I don't know one to recommend over another.

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
