Thanks a lot Frank

 

 

No problem! This is the miracle of the World Wide Web! People half way around the world can talk about a subject that both are interested in. In my case, it helps if the other person knows English.

 

I have a lot of fun with fountain pens and have met many nice, interesting people who share this. I have met all of these people through the internet.

I'm still trying to figure out how to list all my pens down here.

Stumbled on this late. Thank you for posting. An interesting and enjoyable report.

 

I have 2 Ahabs, my first ebonite pens. I like the feel of the ebonite in my hand, but both have required much tinkering to get working nicely. I'd love to buy an Indian ebonite pen which will write smoothly and wet OOTB without fuss. I think I'm going to have to wait until I visit India so I can get the pen tuned by the retailer at the shop as in your report.

 

I didn't realize that what I assumed was the Indian manufacturer of the Ahabs was such a state secret.

      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
