I've been writing with this dainty but solid little thing since it arrived a few days ago.

After a past poor experience with a Sport, this has totally restored my belief in Kaweco and I feel no remorse about breaking my "No Pens This Year" vow . . .🙄

Kaweco Elegance, F nib

At first glance, two classic pens, black and white, one of them with a clear 1950's Europe vibe...

But then... Who shrank the nib?

Strangely it doesn't bother me, the nib size somehow works with the rest of the design; but then, another surprise...

It has a clear filling button. And there's a third surprise I can't show: it's an accordion filler. Very nice pen, makes Vert Empire come out light, consistently, without starting problems. It's a Bayard le 4 with an 18c nib.

 

Now for the other one...

A Geha Goldschwinge 725, one of those pens I thought I would never get. I am slowly nursing it back to life, I'm on its third cleaning, ink has been flowing more and more freely; seems to get along with Blood Orange. Sold as an OB, it seems to write more like an OM or even OF; it's also my first oblique nib, not sure if needs to be rotated a little to find the sweet spot, but at least it doesn't hinder my writing and is perfectly smooth.

It's fair to say that my Pilot Namiki Falcon SF owes me absolutely nothing. I ADORE this pen.

(Ink is my "Teeling" mix . . . in an Edelstein bottle)

I was following the streaming news on the PC last night and thoughtlessly doodling at the same time.

I actually did not realize this came out until I sort of completed the circle...

The pen in use is a Kaweco Dia II with an upgraded 076 Bock nib.

      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
