What's Up With Berlin?

Oh, I'm well aware that nobody can beat Cult Pens.

And I usually only buy if it is cheap :) .

However, when I am on a trip I like to bring home a pen as a memento and, in that case, it is ok to pay a little more.

I get the memento bit, in which case get a pen/model only available for the German market rather than a generic model that can be procured elsewhere a lot cheaper.

Moranga has some Pelikans for sale at the moment as well as Caran d'Ache and they just got in inks from the Kyo No-Oto & the Kyo Iro line.

:thumbup:

 

Any idea of Pelikan pricing?

 

Didn't know they stocked Cd'A. Is it an extensive range or just a few pens?

There are just a handful and when I was there on Saturday I did not pay too much attention to the Pelikans but they were 10-20 % off, depending on the size. CdA is a brand I am not really familiar with, I think they are on close-out, rather slim pens, silver + guilloche pattern. (Please do no embarrass me and ask for the model ... :unsure: ).

 

It is not an extensive range but there are a few shelves with pens you do not find readily available elsewhere in Berlin, like Vanishing Points / Decimos, Sailors, TWSBI etc. I mostly pay attention to the inks when I go there B)

My only find from the flea markets, a brown tortoise 400, for a price which is impossible to buy even a m200 cap alone :bunny01:

      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
