They are all custom pens. I have recent photos on my Instagram feed and will eventually post here on FPN too.

If you want less blah, blah, blah and more pictures, follow me on Instagram!

You're a fountain pen impresario.

Month after month, you pull out of your top hat another group of marvels.

Thank you for posting the image above of such distinctive fountain pens.

Tom, thanks a lot.

However, the photo could have been so much better, but I ran out of natural light. OK, I admit, for a pic out of my mobile, it's acceptable ;-)

 

新年快乐，鼠年快乐

 

Cheers,

My latest broad (as in really broad) acquisition, the FC music nib, from the Philadelphia Penn Show:

 

379071-BB-A7-B1-4838-BC24-CBDE362-E8669.

 

The nib writes beautifully, with an excellent flow. It was carefully tuned for me. I would say it writes too large for everyday writing, but I will enjoy using it for calligraphy and whenever I need to make proclamations.

 

I also love the pen. Given my bad photography, it may be hard to see but it is a softly marbled gray resin with a burgundy top.

Beautiful. Did you have this specially ground for you? I would love to have another L2K with a stub or OB nib, perhaps an OBB nib.

Thank you. This is the stock OBB. I did not even have to do minor tweaks to this nib. It was perfect out of the box.

I am so excited. Soon, I will be able to join you all with a new BB nib on a Montblanc Great Characters Edition John F. Kennedy in Navy Blue! Our friends at Fritz Schimpf were able to locate one since this edition is no longer made and will not be made again. It is ordered, the new BB nib will be installed there and then it will be shipped to me. I can't wait and just had to share the news!

Congratulations. I am sure you will enjoy the stubbish nature of the nib and the smooth flow.

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      By Misfit · Posted

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
