Beautiful pen! May it give you many years of writing pleasure.

The name Koi is aptly chosen.

 

As a person with partly colour-blindness these colours are not my favourite but it looks good.

 

The music nib will be very wet, I guess. I look forward to writing samples. I have a Sailor music nib which is WAY too wet for me so I am interested how the Platinum will work.

 

Enjoy your pen.

Thanks so much, sadiemagic.

 

Thank you, RMN. It is aptly named. It truly is. I've written with it already (In fact, I've used up a converter full of Apache Sunset.) and it's wet but not unduly so. I will photograph some writing samples shortly. I'd love to see the Sailor music nib and its output.

 

Thank you, bitterwonder. Missed you at the last meeting and I'm not going to tomorrow night's, either. Just too much on my plate this month. Hope all is well with you.

Do you have to keep it in a pond and feed it?

It needs to be placed in a bowl of Apache Sunset every now and then....

Those converters are beautiful, Earthdawn.

 

RMN and perrins57, I do indeed feed it a steady diet of Apache Sunset! I'd like to vary its diet so any suggestions would be welcomed. ;)

Here are some samples from my pen inked with Noodler's Apache Sunset.

Beautifully unique - congratulations on such a great acquisition.

 

I like your samples also. :)

      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
