Thank you for putting up the picture Driften! I'll save a copy now for future reference... :) it's especially useful to me.

Yes I think I would like the 02, the step looks small and far back.

Those colours you mention are nice actually. It's odd how FC rotates them, but I assume they have to work in batches.

Agreed. This is a wonderful resource. Thank you.

Yes, thanks! I do find it quite difficult to compare FC’s models on their website now.

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

Just to be complete here is caped and posted, but the current capped image from the F-C site would be better since it has the new ones.

Thank you so much. These images are so good even if they don't have the new models. Exactly what I needed.

No Problem... it is interesting to see how the model 03 is the longest of them all if posted. I don't think I would post that pen. I like how deep my Model 02 posts do to the strange body shape. The model 20 and 31 I don't post. My 45L for some people they would need to post it but I can use it unposted as well.

Thank you to everyone for the helpful advice - I ended up purchasing a model 20 ice with a Masuyama MCI nib at the Philly show today. All of these posts helped out a lot :thumbup:

Where's the picture? You can't go through all this without a picture. That's the de facto rule.

Oh yes, I was probably going to remember later but thanks for reminding me. I'll have some pics up later today for sure :)

Mine is an F CI, also very nice, very precise. Has anyone eyedropped the FC pens? I still use a c/c but am very tempted to use it in ED mode.

nice choice, the 20 is a very nice model from FC, I got an M CI from Mike on mine too an love it.

Yes, a nice nib

I was trying to but I couldn't get the feed out (maybe it was glued in) in so I was hesitant to ED it because I want to put silicone grease on the back of the feed. But I may try that later.

I’ve been a huge scaredy-cat about eyedroppers but I took the plunge with my 66 in ice and it looks fantastic. No problems with it either.

The nib unit just twists out. You just have to be a little more careful on the model 20 and 31 with how the nib is set into the section.

      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
