Schneider ceod?

Recommended Posts

Anyone here come across one of these (and do you keep wanting to spell it coed too)? I'm curious (my eternal quest for budget gems) but the only reviews I can find seem to be for the Base.

I have one of these and two of the italian "Buffetti handle" variant, which is basically the same pen with another cap and branding, some details changed but same feed and nib, and also produced by Schneider. It is a good pen, doesn't dry quickly and the nib is good (harder than the nib of the Base, more like a nail) . I'm a huge fan of Schneider fountains pen: this series and the Base series are my favourites.

What are the sections like on the Ceod? I can't tell from the pics I'm seeing whether they're those triangular 'put your fingers here' ones or round but with a lip at the bottom.

The section of the Ceod is mildly triangular. It has three spots to put the fingers on (two on the top and one below). It isn't triangular like a Lamy Safari, which is sharp edged. It is kind of soft and rounded, but nevertheless is triangular. 

The Base Kid - the one that I have - is kind of triangular as well, but it has only two spot to put the fingers on, both on the right side (top and bottom) and nothing on the left side. 

 

For longer writing session I find the Ceod more confortable than the Base Kid.

Drat. Basically if it's triangular at all I just don't ejoy the writing experience as much. Just evicted a Jinhao X450 which had noting more than three little oval indentations in a round section, but I just don't like the feel of them in my hand.

I am looking into cheap gems too! I really like these brand's designs. I have a particular neurosis that drives me to get things in trios... and above! So I have now three Safari Lamys in bright colours, three Caran d'Ache Vernis in three bright colors, and four Kaweco sports in four bright colours. Looking for the next one to buy at least tw of! 😇

      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
