Has anyone here ever used a Pilot Heritage 912 with PO nib? It'll be the most expensive FP I've gotten so far? The nib on it looks beautiful, magnificent...!

Pens are like watches , once you start a collection, you can hardly go back. And pens like all fine luxury items do improve with time

I think I have really enough pens (for) now … or I`ll have to grow more hands ...

 

I am enduring a moratorium of indefinite length. I shouldn't be looking here.

 

But we do.

My immediate next pen will be a Sailor 1911 Large with a fine nib and a Sailor Sapporo in EF... I bought a Platinum 3776 and developed an addiction to Japanese pens...

I decided to go big this time. After my Amazon debacle detailed on another thread, I'm already a long way toward the goal from the two pens I never received and other money budgeted toward pens that I haven't spent this year. Beyond that, I'm just doing my regular saving and budgeting. Maybe I can get something extra in there through careful pruning of the budget. Since I haven't purchased anything pen related this summer, and if I make myself behave this fall, my pen budget (and a cut in some of the other "fun" areas) should bring me to enough to buy this guy. If I sacrifice enough fun things, I could manage its purchase by Christmas

 

This is quite a big purchase, and I can see the possibility that I'll save up all that money and will not be able to bring myself to spend the money. It's really way too much for just a pen. But the thing is really pretty! The main thing for me will be the goal and the fun of saving for it. That's quirky fun, but it will be kind of fun to see what I can do with my budget. In the long run, it will be an exercise in seeing what I really do enjoy, whether I buy the pen or decide at that time to put the money toward something else fun. I haven't been buying many pens this year, so I won't feel guilty if I do decide to actually buy this when my budget gets me there.

A worthwhile goal, whether I end up spending the money or not, and good practice for me in saving and sacrificing.

Do want!! But I would like it in a 1.1 or even 1.5 stub nib in the rose gold.. Not just swap the one I'd get with it, with a steel stub. Bah!! Until then, I'll pine over a medium nibbed version.

Here's to lofty goals! I keep telling myself I'll save up for a Nakaya... And then something else pretty comes along and tugs at my wallet.

      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
