... How have you resolved the leaking issue?

At least one person has...unscrew the metal fitting on the nib end of the section, grease threads and screw back on.

This is a Penbbs 308 in koi with a 1.1mm italic. The ink is Blackstone red cashmere, which is smooth and lovely, and occasionally sheeny.

Thank you for the recommendation for Bobby. I got some lovely .7 stubs in a size 5. I put one in my Baoer 79 and inked it with Diamine Evergreen-the green has never looked so bright. Best of all, the stub is small enough for my 6mm guidelines.

I like it - simple 'tube' style reminiscent of Rotrings of yore. Just bought one like this and one in black (no pale blues available unfortunately, else I would have taken one of those too). Looking forward to popping in a Lamy 1.1 in one of them.

 

Try Googling "Let's See Action" by The Who. I think it fits.

If I remember correctly both Helen and Bobje have mentioned Moonman and other Chinese pens with italic and/ or stub nibs. My question: what are these nibs and where could I get some of my own? 😁

 

I have an unbranded wooden pen (not the bamboo pen) with a 1.1 stub as well as the Yiren in 1.1 and 0.7. The broader stubs have been plain crappiness, even after much tuning, so I'm still looking one or two nice ones.

      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
