International Fountain Pen Day... Friday, November 3Rd

Recommended Posts

What's happening around "International Fountain Pen Day this year. It's coming up shortly and I, for one, have seen nothing about it mentioned. Did I miss something here on FPN?

 

I know one can find information at http://www.fountainpenday.org/ including what looks like a lot of sponsors (more Pen - Day deals???). It would be nice to hear if anyone is doing something really special or unique this year. Or, if you had a nice experience in the past.

 

Thanks for sharing the information.

The first couple of years they did it, there were online writing and drawing contests on the FP Day website (I was one of the runner up winners one year, but then the next year didn't make it past the first cut). The grand prize the year I got one of the runner up prizes was a custom bound journal from TM Lee, and the judging was by popular vote. (IIRC correctly, I came in third).

I think it's awesome that the Ohio Pen Show coincides with FP Day this year.

As well as the discounts listed on the sponsors' page, and The Writing Desk's offer as detailed by Beechwood also in Market Watch, Cult Pens is offering 10% off all orders, code FPDay10.

 

Happy Fountain Pen Day!

I chose my user name years ago - I have no links to BBS pens (other than owning one!)

      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
