What Are Some Nice Industrial Metal Pens?

I got the pen today. Lemanfan, thank you so very much. The Muji fountain pen looks great in photos - but having it here in front of me... I have to say... it's much more than that, it's a real beauty! I thought it would have the industrial look the OP asked for, and it certainly has, but it also has that simple elegance that makes it look so beautiful. Lemanfan, I would have never given this pen away :bunny01: I'm gonna use it in my practise exam, tomorrow.

 

Unlikely, and if it were, Muji would never tell. The whole point of Muji is that its products have no brand names.

 

You are right :headsmack: mujirushi pretty much literally means "no brand".

On the other hand - it is a Schmidt nib. What else could be? There aren't many nib manufacturers and I suppose most are either cheap but not very reliable or too expensive and all that's left is Bock and Schmidt (who might actually let Bock produce the nibs).

Anyway, it's a good nib.

Look at the Ohto F-Lapa in Chrome. Cost is right around 25 bucks with a converter. The body is a very shiny chrome, but at this price you could experiment with sandpaper and dull it down a bit.

 

The pen is very light as there isn't much material in the body. It will dent easily, I haven't done it yet but I'm waiting :headsmack:

 

I love mine. Granted, I've only had it a week but I'm on my second fill

      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

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @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
