I have received my four ordered pens and they are lovely!

 

I have taken a picture to upload but was unable to figure out how to upload from my computer (without uploading to a site). Any insights would be much appreciated!

Thank you so much Intensity for the detailed tutorial!

 

I apologize but when I go into 'More Reply Options', the 'Attach Files' never shows up for me. I tried with both Chrome and Safari. I have added the picture to Instagram. You can see the image here: https://www.instagram.com/p/BgmXYBYB-Rc/?taken-by=crackthemba. I know this is not ideal but I was unable to figure out how to add the image to this discussion :(

 

From left to right, the pens are (all in smooth finish):

 

1) Pink Blue Swirl, Model 3C, Bock nib in EF, Black

2) Blue Orange Green White Swirl, Model 8B, Eyedropper, Kanwrite nib in F

3) Blue White Swirl, Thin Bamboo, Eyedropper, Kanwrite nib in F

4) Pink Blue Pale Yellow Swirl, Model 3C, Eyedropper, Kanwrite nib in F

I’m not completely versed in the rules, but I think there is a minimum number of posts required before you are able to do some things on FPN. Uploading pictures may be one of those.

 

Lovely pens. You’ll enjoy them

Many thanks for posting the picture on my behalf MBDoestovsky! Thank you all for the comments.

 

I'd like to add that I'm loving the pens. I've been warming up to them more and more with each passing day. I love the smoothness of the Eyedropper version!

 

Also, I read on another thread about a stuck section inside the cap. I had something similar happen to me yesterday. I immediately wrote to Mr. Kandan who had a nice remedy. Incidentally, another tip that helped was online relating to soaking the cap in soapy water (5:1 ratio). 2 mins of that and I could get the section out. I think some of the ink was clogging it up.

 

Excited to see everyone else's pics!

How's the uncapped length of the 8B? Is it the same as the 3C?

The uncapped length of the 8B is marginally longer - maybe a couple of mm. More or less similar.

What about the nib section width? I know they are different in shape. But is the feel similar?

 

 

I'd say the 3C nib section is a tad wider.

 

When you ask about the feel, do you ask about the feel of the ebonite itself? If yes, I find them to be similar. Having said that, I want to mention that my two 3C pens seem feel slightly different. The blue-pink swirl feels different from the blue-green-orange-white swirl and blue-pink-pale yellow swirl. The latter two colors feel more polished, if you will. Might be that the former is coming from a different vendor?

Thanks, So now I know that 3c is wider.

 

But is the difference palpable when you write. In other words is there a difference in the comfort level while holding the 2 pens. I know it is subjective, but still wanted to know as I do not have any pens with hourglass nib section.

 

Enjoy your pens. 👍

I personally found both pens to be comfortable. Truth be told, I had not even paid attention to the hourglass shaped section until you asked?! The 8B was comfortable to write with, for me. I want to mention that I have small hands. YMMV.

trusting not to go OT,

the described method does not work for me since a very long time (but used to work in the past, say 2 years ago?) it keeps telling me that upolad failed, despite I reduce my files to well below 2Mb (usually around 600kb).

The only method that works for me is using the upload page at the top (tab in the top row of the page, in blue).

I reduce size of my photos, which are usually 4 MB, browse and select them from the upload page, upload them, copy the direct link, go to my post, click more reply options, select the image icon (green window in the top row in the post window), paste the link, post.

A bit cumbersome, but works.

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
