I'm committed to putting $50 a paycheck away to save up for a Montblanc 149. I've promised that I won't spend more than $20 on a pen until then, and only for education/experimentation - nib swaps, alternate grinds, etc.

Yesterday, Someone proposed me a Montblanc 75th anniversary for 350 €. Will that be my next one ? I still don't know yet and have to think about it. Of course it´s cheap for such a pen ben still a big amount of money .....

Me too! Do you know anything more specific about this possible release? I have heard some folks say it isn't much more than rumor.

Any news from TWSBI? Vac-mini and Eco?

  • Vac-mini: we’re told within two month, final testing. Mid-summer
  • Eco: a little more final testing, late-summer/fall
  • subject to change, as always!

I have a number of pens in my sights, but I think THE pen is going to be a Romillo. Or maybe a MB Hemmingway *groan for indecisiveness*

I already posted but here are the next three...

 

1. karas Ink. I've been drooling over that FO since last year and they are torturing me with production delays. I'm ready to give up, but then I look at pics of it. Japanese shape, all metal, American company, interesting clip.

 

2. Franklin-Christoph 02 Intrinsic in Ice. It's modern and different and cool as ice.

 

3. TWSBI Micarta. It looks like it should have some Japanese marketing billing it like a Nakaya with a $500 price tag, but it's only (yeah "only") $100. Love the shape and number 6 nib and it's being discontinued. If it came in black micarta I would already own one.

Thanks to all of you, I have many ideas of which one could be my next Pen. Some of you are speaking about trades I'd never heard about. Looking via Google, I open my eyes and see so many beauties ... So, no, today,I don't know which one will my next one as I want so many ....

I'm outright buying a Dialog 3 this year, and frankly, I'm quite nearly there in terms of money...Just another week or two!

You will like the LAMY D3

When I can spring for it, my eye will be on a nice condition vintage pilot MYU. I just love the looks of those.

And they're already on the way.... :unsure:

For my next pen, I'm between: Montblanc 146 from 80s/early-mid 90s, Pelikan 400 Tortoise (vintage) and

another Pelikan 100N in blue-green. I want them all at the same time, but it will be a while before I can get one.

I'm pretty happy with my line-up of pens at the moment. Everything minus the MB 146 is icing on the cake.

 

Forgot I also have to repair a pen, so yeah, it will be a while...

Ok...

My third post! I changed my mind.

 

My next pen will be a Lamy 2000 arriving in a couple days. The Karas Ink will be the next FP after that... I think.

 

I had a choice between a TWSBI Micarta or a Lamy 2K. After looking and reading and thinking realy hard for 24 hours the Lamy was a surprise winner. I really wanted the Micarta, but the Lamy just took over for so many reasons. Number one being I studied the Bau Haus in college for years and the gold nib with piston filler won me over. I was dead set on the Micarta until I actually got the money for ordering.

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      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

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @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
