I just received my order from Birmingham Pens. I am flabbergasted. I received a touching note with a handwritten signature, a sample piece of writing paper to test my nib on, an elegant postcard, and a small, square cork coaster with their company information. Two nibs, and an ink cartridge in resealable bags also elegant. Everything felt handled by caring hands. I was so touched. I hope they stay in business for a long time. 

By the way, I just bought an Atkin acoustic guitar, double 0 body, 12 fret. The top was baked and it produced a loud, clear, balanced, sweet tone. I thought I was in heaven playing it. No electronics. It was made in the UK. An amazing instrument. Seems like the renaissance of the craftsman movement in England.  

Thank you for tip re Birmingham Pens! :)

I ordered ink recently from Birmingham Pens, and received the same items. Nick and Josh, the brothers running Birmingham Pens have been great at customer service every time I’ve dealt with them. Not many companies will change your order. But Birmingham did when I sent an email after the order to change the ink.  I’m glad someone else beat me to recommending Birmingham Pens.

      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
