Hi AL01,

 

You are quite welcome. :thumbup:

 

Thank you for your encouraging words of optimism regarding my penmanship. Hope does indeed spring eternal.

 

You're quite right not to discuss the 51 within the confines of this review, as it could trigger a full-scale riot here on the boards and ruin this review. :lol:

 

Although, I don't mind answering any questions about it, if you have any... here or via a PM, if you prefer.

 

Mind you, I've only owned one; but it was a very nice specimen that was professionally restored... I just didn't care for it.

I don't know the location of your mother's condition. Please forgive, if I intrude. Would she be more comfortable using a larger diameter pen. The jotter is fairly small. Sometimes, a heavier pen will self-settle into the hand, requiring less gripping. The Jinhao x450 is a large-diameter pen, but is fairly heavy. A lighter weight pen of large diameter is the Sheaffer Nononsense.

 

Anything we can do to accommodate a "Mom" is entirely pleasure.

Hello Sasha,

 

Responded via PM. :)

      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
