If anyone's interested in a Delta Fusion pen, check out Chatterley Luxuries. I bought one of their limited edition colors and have been very pleased with the pen and the price.

Rationalizing pen and ink purchases since 1967.

Three pens:

 

A Kim & Co. "Small" in mottled green ebonite that is now in New Jersey after a week in transit.

A Ranga 2C in green ripple ebonite that hasn't shipped yet (just ordered today).

A Sunderland Mk 1 from a Kickstarter, due to ship in November Trying to decide between black anodized and nickel plated on this one.

What a gorgeous pen! I don't have any Montegrappa pens myself, but definitely would love to get one in the future. Enjoy your beautiful new pen :)

You have great taste, it's a stunning pen ;) I just got the same, except I went with the Ruby resin. Honestly, it was a really difficult choice, as both colours are gorgeous :) What nib did you get with it?

None.

 

It has been a month since i get a pen. No waiting, no thrilling. It seems that the pen madness is calming down now :cloud9: :cloud9: .

 

All of this because of 1 magic word... Nakaya :wub: . Hope to get one before end of year :D

Saw that on the bay. Looks really nice except for the crown, not my thing, so decided not to try for it. Can't beat purple.

And you found an awesome place to take a photo of it. That raden sweep is so classy!!!

 

Do you have a case for it? Or a massive ball of cotton wool to keep it in? :D

Thank you so much, Tinta! I am so thrilled with it. I've been waiting since last December for it :) I didn't go fancy with the nib (are you disappointed in me? hehe ;) , just went with a soft medium, and John smoothed it up nicely for me.

Thank you so much :) It's actually a gold leaf tea tray that I have. I couldn't stop staring at the shiny raden. So pretty

It came with a beautiful kimono slip case to keep it safe, although the pile of cotton wool isn't a bad idea :D

A Sheaffer 'No Nonsense' ballpoint is on its way. When it arrives, I hope to convert it to a fountain pen with one of my spare nibs and a converter. I know the spring must be removed; any other pointers for this conversion?

 

What makes this special for me is this is the stainless steel NN. I've been searching for a while.

Yes, I forgot to order one, but I contacted Nakaya about a week and a half ago and they shipped one out to me, right away. I received it today :)

The Fusion LE Turchese looks really good.

 

That is a good sale!

      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
