Hi there,

 

I've decided, on second thought, to leave the FPN for a while. As a matter of fact, I've been suffering from a certain disease since last March. So, I'm afraid I'll be offline to concentrate on the treatment. It's indeed disappointing that I have to say "So long"... When I recover from my disease, I'll surely be back to the FPN. Thanks for your understanding.

 

See you then!

Best wishes from Japan,

As you are a great contributor to The Fountain Pen Network and I thought you were fine, I was very surprised to hear of your illness. I respect your will to make a decision on the treatment.
I hope you will improve with rest!

Yes, get well soon!

Kota,

I am so sorry to hear this,

its funny how we adopt friends from around the world and although I have never met you in person, I do count you as one. You have shared your family, your passions and your craft with with us.

I hope with all my heart your path is what you and your family and friends desire.

Mark

Has anyone heard any more from Kota Adachi?

Having been other wise engaged for a while and getting back into things but noticed Adachi- sans' YouTube content has disappeared.

I do hope and trust everything is well.

Hello NotVirtuTheThirdTV,

I once had all of the Masters of the Fountain Pen series on my iPad, but when I upgraded iOS in 2021, I lost access.

Some are available for re-uploading, but I am looking for the episodes (1) fellow in department store trying out FPs and (2) Fullhalter nibmeister grinding a nib and (3) Sailor reps in a department store offering on-site FP adjusting. 
Any chance you would have access to these that you could share?

Thank you,

Microgrs

Thank you so much for posting these, @notVirtuThe3rd. I had seen (and loved) these on YouTube, but didn't know how they ended up there. It made me so interested in getting some Indian and Japanese lathed pens. I can't see it being made in person, so the videos were amazing.

      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
