Hello FPN.

This is my first review of a pen, so please bear with me.

I just got this nice little pen on mail today after three months ( yep, that´s correct, unfortunately ) waiting for customs liberation... Gotta love them!!

Anyway, I got so happy I decided to make a review.

This is a pen I bought from a member ( wetnoodlepens ) here in FPN.

First, the looks:

Not much to say, black with holden accents. Rather small. Body says "Duocraft Brooklyn NY" Nib says "Warranted 14K 5"

And thast´s about it. Nothing special, nothing ugly.

But, man oh man, when I inked it and put it on paper... WOW!!!

Very smooth stub, about 1.5 mm, decent variation on down/side strokes. And then I started playing with flex... and was totally blown over!! Huge line variation with very little pressure!! Great flow, nice responsiveness!! And look at that shading!!!Needless to say I was a very very happy geek!!

Anyway, that´s about what I wanted to say. Just wanted to share the happiness. Please tell me if you want me to add something, I´m a rather economic writer

Thank you very much!!

      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
