So, Tim has been gracious and has shared this strange pen. Tringle has already tried it, and I tried it, but couldn't make it work at first. Frank C, showed me how to use it and Bullfly7 tried it at our most recent pen posse. The pen is en route to Science Chick. Hopefully she can take some better pictures and show it in action.

So, when you are ready to try out this engineering marvel, post your name up here and you can PM the person who has it now. Keep in mind that eventually, it needs to return to Tim!

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Amberlea,

This is terrific! Keep it up, keep it moving, and if anyone is interested in keeping it at the end of its travels, let me know!

Interesting.

I think it works like the Pilot Parallel.

But I can't figure out how you would hold it reasonably comfortably. Can't see the scale/size of it.

I think you got chiselled. Seriously, it'd be a good pen to save ink on....

nah, was a find, cost nothing, and actually is a pen. A colleague, from Shanghai, told me her parents used them for calligraphy when they were children. I don't know where in China her parents are originally from, however.

Here is a T in Tropical Blue (Private Reserve) written with the pen.

Yay! I found the thread.....My attempt was haphazard at best. The nib section is very large, and guzzles ink. The handle is like holding silverware, but really an interesting piece.

 

I wish I did not delete all my pictures as I would post my goofy attempt at the pen.

 

 

Best to all!

Bullfly took them with her, and Frank took his. I'm looking for mine.

 

Hey, wait, Tringle, you had it first, where are your samples?

      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
