how much money do you want to spend for a good signature pen is the question? I sign mainly with f,m or b and sometimes with stubs or obliques

I think my signature looks much better with a stub nib, aside from the ink color you can tell its a fountain pen, a nice distinguishable characteristic.

Thanks for finally clarifying a signature pen to me.

It is to appear strong when you are not.

 

For fancy, I can see a medium to broad stub or a semi-flex or 'flexi'/maxi-semi-flex in any width.

I do have semi-flex KM's that would do the big and bold trick and still be readable.

 

Philosophically, who would you rather work for a 'Big Bold Scrawl' or "fancy line variation' or simple clear M or ball point user?

 

Would a big bold scrawl chum the water for the knowledgeable predator? :ninja:

 

For legal, I use a M or F for a clear hard to counterfeit signature.I could and have used semi-flex for a slightly wetter line.

 

I can see using a vintage oblique with semi-flex or 'flexi' if I used that pen all the time for that.

That way I could tell at a glance, did I write it or not?

Thank you for your answer :thumbup:

about 500-1000 USD, but I think if I start with cheaper pens for having an idea about pens and nibs, it will be properly. and in this way I will try a lot of options and I believe that I can decide the best decision for fountain pen.

Thank you for your answer. I haven't got a chance to try the nibs yet so I can't comment about your suggestion exactly :blush:

That is a very wise decision.

Try also italian fountain pens like the stip eritruria, omas 360 and montegrappa extra 1930

It depends what size the signature has to be. If you're filling in a form and have to enter into a box then a ballpoint or a finer nib might be more suited.

 

I sign things so infrequently that this is one thing I do not need to worry about.

      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
