For The Pen Geek Who Has Everything - A $50 Cartridge Case!


Plume145

Recommended Posts

Okay, technically it's just $44.04. But I bet it would climb with the postage, particularly if you're not in Japan.

 

It's made by Pilot in collab with another brand, presumably of leather goods since it's all leather (anyone knowledgeable about Japanese brands care to weigh in?) As far as I can tell it closes with a magnetic flap, and those look like Pilot cartridges in the piccy, so Int'l standard might be a poor fit. Bah! Then it won't work for me, tsk tsk.

 

(yep, it's that, and NOT the fact that my regular pen budget tops out at $30 each lol)

I carry my cartridges in a "Velamint" tin. I feel like such a slub. I wonder how many cartridges fit in a sliver

snuff box.

my carts are bundled three or four together with an elastic and use up one elastic slot in a pen case. 4 on top elastic 4 on bottom elastic and then you have 8!!!

The leather company is Somés Saddle. I have a couple of the items in Pilot's Somés collection (the three-pen pocket case and the desktop box with removable tray, but not the cart holder). They were expensive, but thankfully not made out of air and advertising: the leathers and workmanship are high quality and beautiful to handle, and I think will last a long, long time with a little care.

Wow, those look perfect! And the logos and stuff on the cover don't look half bad, actually! Pretty sure you could get the same size in blank and decorate it if you wanted, though :-)

 

I see your silver snuff box, and I raise you one of those fancy silver cigarette cases - for long Int'l Standard cartridges or Parker carts :P

Love this! So simple and immediate :-)

Thanks for the name! It did look like some pretty high-quality stuff, so I'm glad to hear it was more than looks! Love the expression 'made of air and advertizing' :P With your permission I'll start using it - there's a lot of things about that this describes perfectly yet concisely!

 

This is why Game Boy cart cases exist.

haha, I really wouldn't have a clue! I'm completely video-game illiterate, I'm afraid :P

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
