Hello and welcome to FPN, from Cape Town, South Africa.

To sit at one's table on a sunny morning, with four clear hours of uninterruptible security, plenty of nice white paper, and a [fountain] pen - that is true happiness!

Welcome !

 

Seems you like the bigger pen, that has some heft to it. As do I.

 

Write with joy.

Hey MalcolmH,

 

90% of the time it's a Pelikan M800 (my trusted steed) and my Pilot Custom 823. The rest of the time is split between 2 dozen others, most of them obviously not as expensive...

There's a MB146 en route but it will take a few more days for it to arrive.

 

Those are classic pens, inkohesive. I have a couple of Pelikan M400's, but am on the lookout for an 800 at the right price. Probably in black? :D

 

I find the MB146, to be the perfect size, for me, and the Meisterstuck to be one of the all-time classic pens. Let us know how you get on with yours.

 

I hope you continue to enjoy your pens, and the Fountain Pen Network, for many years to come.

 

Malcolm

Yes they are, Malcolm,

 

I have a Pelikan M200 but find it a bit too small for my taste, never tried a M600 but the M800 is a perfect fit for me, length and girth wise. My 146 should arrive on Thursday, I played with it a bit at a MB boutique and loved it.

 

Thanks a lot for the warm welcome!

Greetings and welcome!



:W2FPN:


...The history, culture and sophistication; the rich, aesthetic beauty; the indulgent, ritualistic sensations of unscrewing the cap and filling from a bottle of ink; the ambient scratch of the ink-stained nib on fine paper; A noble instrument, descendant from a line of ever-refined tools, and the luster of writing,
with a charge from over several millennia of continuing the art of recording man's life.

So you've been hanging out by the door for a year? I usually keep my head down and my hands in my pockets when I walk in, so I didn't notice you. Anyway, glad you've joined us and welcome aboard.

Edited by Bookman

I love the smell of fountain pen ink in the morning.

      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
