Thank you, my friends, for your kind words.

 

Let me post another one: Hemingway and Spencerian exercise. They look good together...

Yesterday, I found close to my home a small Frangipani tree (Plumeria alba) in flower. I took an inflorescence home to photograph it, and then I created a small set with the Hemingway. I added to the set a few baby bananas, a kind of small but very sweet and creamy fruit with a thin, bright yellow peel, sometimes also called Lady Finger banana. With the Frangipani flower and the baby bananas, I renamed for the occasion my pen as the "tropical Hemingway"...

 

Here are a couple of shots:

It is never a bad moment to pick up the Hemingway...

 

Here signing the journal ready for the press, a kind of pleasant occupation required any four months.

Thank you, Pravda.

 

I am a secret esteemer of your beautiful collection and deeply grateful for the quantity of information and insights you provided through the years on rarely seen and extraordinary Montblanc pens.

 

I have never uploaded any photograph to Instagram. My "public" are you, fountaipennetworkers pal, and a similar group of passionate pennophiles in Italy, where I have my account is registered under the name fufluns.

With a nib that sits between a skinny F and a generous EF, my Hemingway helps both in writing and drawing...

As with its "Big Red" Parker invented the orange fountain pen, I am not discussing which one is "more correct" among the two colors.

 

Montblanc calls its own color "coral" and, in fact, it is someway less vivid and a bit less red than that of a modern Parker Duodold.

 

Two great pens to my eyes.

That really is the loveliest of the writer's editions! Until I saw this pen I thought that accolade belonged to the Dostoevsky but I am now converted to the Hemingway.

      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
