Okay. I know. It's not even a fountain pen, but I think it's a cool picture. A Sofer (ritual Jewish scribe) and his quill.

Here's a fun thing I did on the way to the forum.

 

I have a steel #6 Fude nib from fpnibs.com, but the only pen it fits is a pen I will probably sell, so I don't want to use it. Thus, necessity, mother, invention, and voila! I got myself a reasonable facsimile until I get another pen that takes a #6 steel nib, with enough room in the cap for the Fude salute. ORRR.. this will suffice, period. We'll see!

 

I "made" this just the day before yesterday. Chuffed with myself.

My new ink disposal tool

 

Ralph looks like he washes his hands in Kon-Peki. You be careful with that thing.

A quick shot of the Wahl-eversharp doric, size 10 adjustable nib.

 

 

Great shot, and the tip looks to be in excellent condition. Why not post a writing sample in the pens, nibs, writing samples thread?

      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
