Wow.  That's a great color!

For me, today it's been:

1. Pilot Metropolitan Retro Pop, stub nib -- Akkerman Delfts Blauw.

2. Noodler's ebonite Konrad, flex nib -- diluted Noodler's 54th Massachusetts.

3. Cross Solo, F nib -- Birmingham Pens Fort Duquesne Battle French Tricolor.

I've got a few inked up, but today is for one that's new to me, an Omas Cristoforo Colombo II, just back from a tuning courtesy of Mark Bacas. It's... the smoothest nib I've ever owned. Inked with Waterman Serenity Blue, the way I start everything that comes my way.

I've realized that I tend not to use my vintage pens because I think they're fragile or I need to preserve them or something. Nothing really could be further from the truth. They ought to be enjoyed, I think, so I inked up a black 1943 Parker 51 Vacumatic today with Waterman Serenity Blue. Smoothest EF nib I've used in a long while.

In looks that ASA Flora certainly rivals, and likely surpasses, many of the similar American/European pens I've seen. Congratulations on this simple but stunning pen.

      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
