Some time ago I asked Mr.S about the possibility of a pen that can use Nikko G nibs. I don't want to muddy the waters here but perhaps that could be a follow up pen, if people are interested.

HI,

This has been done already. I got Mr.Kandan, of Ranga pens to make a couple for me.

Hi--

 

Please count me in as well. Black Ebonite, Extra Fine nib if possible.......

"Writing is 1/3 nib width & flex, 1/3 paper and 1/3 ink. In that order."Bo Bo Olson

"No one needs to rotate a pen while using an oblique, in fact, that's against the whole concept of an oblique, which is to give you shading without any special effort."Professor Propas, 24 December 2010

 

"IMHO, the only advantage of the 149 is increased girth if needed, increased gold if wanted and increased prestige if perceived. I have three, but hardly ever use them. After all, they hold the same amount of ink as a 146."FredRydr, 12 March 2015

Thats still quite an addiction

I put my savings to test

Lamy & Pilot FPs the Best

No more I even think of the rest

(Preference Fine and Extra Fine Nibs)

Pen is meant for writing - not for looking :-)

Hi,

I'm interested in 2 hooded pens. Ebonite option would be great in a lamy 2000 style. Good old Parker 51 style in acrylic would be great as well (maybe a bit more substantial in hand). Not really crazy about demonstrator type pens, but would take it if that is the only option available.

Regards

Vikram.

So we have now 26 customers and with 33 pens...

 

Okay, I decided, even though I want that pen, I decided to withdraw my name from the list.

Thanks for understanding

A Lamy2000-ish design, but options for different colors (solid ebonite colors, not the ripple ones) and a demonstrator model (not completely clear demonstrator - something like ASA Galactic, but with the same design/feel aesthetics like Lamy 2000). Have been salivating from the time this thought has entered my mind. My count would definitely go up if such option were being considered.

-Vikram.

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

      By Misfit · Posted

      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
