Like the looks of the pen, though a bit too slim for my personal taste.  Attractive clip.

Jinhao FP - M. nib.  Ink:  Mixture black/blue.  Have had this Jinhao for about 14 yrs. 

There is no model # on the pen.  Dragon clip with red stone eyes.  Stone on top

of cap finial.  Nib surprisingly smooth.

Penbbs 309. Swapped the nib for a Jowo 1.1mm stub. The piston initially sticks when I fill the pen but screwing it in and out usually frees it up

A couple of Kaigelu 316s arrived yesterday afternoon. Lovely pens. The acrylic appears to be an attempt to duplicate Conway Stewart blanks.

Jinhao X450, Ebony 51A (#5 nib, not the hooded nib), 599, and 992.

I don't know if the PenBBS 494 is Chinese. I think it is, but don't know for sure.

Also a no name Lamy Safari copy that uses Lamy nibs, ink cartridges, and ink converter.

 

Have some 992 Demonstrators inbound. I want to convert them to dropper/syringe fill. 😷

Lovely! I have a 75 on the way; the silver ciscelle pattern but with the red accents.

      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

      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
