I sincerely hope it can be your next pen! If someone isn't using something it seems like that should be reason enough to "find it a new home!" I have the Leman in the white finish & am amazed at the finish of the pen. ( I debated long & hard because I initially wanted the Saffron.) I would like for you to enjoy it. It would be fun to see it next to your Graf!

I can't have any more pens until I sell some off, I've decided. :closedeyes: The trouble is picking which ones to let go that someone might actually be interested in. Cheap Chinese knockabouts don't get resold often, I'm guessing. Pfft!

Good for you! Amidst my 12+ inches of snow it will be a welcome sight & even more so if you could manage to let your Graf join in the pictorial. Thank you for sharing whatever you choose.

More than that, as I have a black Leman, I've played swaping the caps so that I have now 4 Leman instead of two ...

Just received my Parker Sonnet matt black GT. My Sonnet deep red GT is , hopefully , on its way from Dubai. Also waiting for another shipment from USA containing two Sheaffer PFM Imperials , a Nemosine as well as some chinese (kaigelu and jinhao) pens.

Received all but the deep red sonnet. I am told it is out of stock. I didnt like the Chinese pens though. Nether any of the jinhaos nor kaigelu. Not even the nemosine.

Oooooooooooooooooooh........................I shoulda gone with my FIRST instinct for Saffron over my "boring" white & could have done the Intuition in the white........I REALLY like the Saffron but thank you especially for showing it with the Graf because I wasn't "quite" sure what the Terracotta was really "about." It is much like the orange inks that I see as more red than orange . I like the color BUT like your Saffron better. The body on the Intuition is really fabulous though.......it is most graceful in design. I really thought I had enough orange happening with the oversized Dolce Vita & a few others (Ondoro included.)

BUT your Leman is GREAT & I am very happy you were able to have it. When I send my white to have it's M nib exchanged for a BB (for stubbing purposes) wonder if they would "exchange" it's section? I better not press my luck as I am also having them exchange the nib on a RNX 316 ("Dark" version!)

Thank you for sharing all "six" of your pens! A very cleaver idea that "mix & match!"

Wow, those Caran d'Ache Lémans are beautiful, I have a Scarlet Red on my list. But for now, had an instant purchase. Brought a Sailor Pro Gear Slim Blueberry, it was for a great price, that would be a sin to not buy it.

My plan if failed to not buy another fountain pen till I buy my Montblanc Princesse Grace....

I'm happy that can help you .... But changing a nib and a section could be expensive ....

 

I've seen the orange Leman for sale on "stylo.ca " much cheaper then here in Europe perhaps it could cost less than changing your nib and section ...

 

I personnaly have to send my chrome RNX 316 to Caran d'Ache to change the feeder which is ..... broken !!!! I've tried to glue it but ink doesn't come easily ..... ( I've never seen a broken feeder before ...)

Yeah !!!!!! What a nib !!!!! Exactly what you usually find on the "good old" pens : a really flexible nib !!!!! I love it !!!!

Here are a few pictures .....

And last but not least, this splendid "flessibile" nib .....

This looks so tempting as a fine chocolate pastry with some sweet cream on top or running through its middle, then garnished with a chocolate icecrem on the side. What chocolate heaven is for chocolate lovers.

I need to finish restoration on the ones I already have! But failing that, it would have to be either a matched Esterbrook pen and pencil set... or something with some flex in it. And if I can get my hands on an Estie with a 9128 nib, I can scratch both itches at the same time!

      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
