A Thuya Parker 75late French production. Ive had it since 1990 as a new pen as a gift. Medium nib. Ive only recently tweaked the nib and ink to make it go better. It likes Gentian Violet or Methylene Blue in DI/RO water. Im not sure what w/v percent yet. 0.4 is still paler than I want. I will try higher concentrations tomorrow if I get a little free time.

51 Flighter with matching pencil. The pen is inked with Lamy Dark Lilac. Very nice medium nib.

Hari, that is a really attractive looking pen! Love the barrel material/design.

Today it was the multicolor Parker Vector (the one that looks like a Mondrian painting), F nib, with diluted KWZI IG Gummiberry; and the Azure Blue Pearl Speedline filler Vac, with what I'm really starting to think is an F/M nib, with vintage Quink Microfilm Black.

      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

      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
