Hi everyone,

 

It's great to be part of this fountain pen community. I rediscovered my love and passion for fountain pens recently. 

 

Coincidentally, I got my first pocket pen (Kaweco Sport, Bordeaux, medium nib) with Kaweco Caramel Brown ink cartridges and a mini piston converter today. And I must say that I am loving the experience of writing with it. It has an old world charm to it, which is accentuated by the colour, golden nib and clip, not to mention the unique design and utility. I am sure this is not my last Kaweco Sport. I may consider getting a Brass Sport later. But, I guess a Sailor Pro Gear Slim isn't very far in the future. I tend to gravitate towards retro and vintage stuff.

 

Looking forward to some great conversations here.😊

 

Cheers!

Ajay

Ajay-bhai, welcome to  FPN, it is a great forum to learn a lot about our hobby. So, are you located in India or are you like me, an NRI?

@Wolverine1Glad to make your acquaintance. Thanks for a warm welcome. I couldn’t agree with you more. It’s a great place to meet like-minded folks and share experiences. I am in India. What about you? Welcome to FPN! :)

@AJ20 Welcome to the Network! I just got my first Kaweco and I'm enjoying it as well. Although I think I could've gone more creative with the color choice, that Burgundy looks great :)

@Gabe Madorma Thank you! That’s wonderful to know. It’s a great little pen. I am loving writing with mine using Kaweco Caramel Brown ink, which actually shades nicely. Btw, which color did you choose?
 

They come in some nice colors. I am more of a classic design lover myself. Like those cigar-shaped pens in dark tones. But, I just thought burgundy would be a good color. Happy writing. Cheers! :)

Hello and welcome :)

 

Great choice for a reboot!

@mizgeorgeThank you! :) 

I like the way you put it. Reboot it is! I am also using two Cross Baileys alternatively, inked up with dense green and black inks. Just dipping the toes before immersing myself in deeper waters. What are your go-to pens currently? :)

      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
