Hi from China

Recommended Posts

我很高兴找到这个论坛,但不幸的是我的英语不好(对不起我的英语老师),所以如果我有一些错误的词,很抱歉。

当我13岁的时候,我醒来时,钢笔是一个非常有趣的写作工具,一支好的钢笔也许可以跟着我很多年。所以我开始学习关于笔的信息,我非常喜欢。

在上大学之前,我把一些笔送给我的朋友,然后卖掉了其他笔。

现在我使用的是F nib Pilot 742,Wingsung 101,Hero 100(与我同年出生)。

再次,很高兴见到你。

I'm glad I found this forum, but unfortunately my English is not good (sorry my English teacher), so I'm sorry if I have some wrong words.


When I was 13, I woke up and the pen was a really fun writing tool, and a good pen might stay with me for many years. So I started to learn about the pen and I absolutely loved it.


Before college, I gave some pens to my friends and sold others.


Now I use F nib Pilot 742, Wingsung 101, Hero 100 (born the same year as me).


Again, nice to meet you.

 

Welcome to FPN! :) That's a nice little collection.  Glad you've joined us.

Welcome to FPN. 歡迎你加入FPN鋼筆網論壇。

 

That was good of you to gift your friends with your fountain pens and kindle their interest! 你送筆給朋友,那真好,可能令他們對鋼筆也會産生興趣。

 

I'm not sure whether you'd intended to use language translation software to convert what you wrote into English before posting, but inadvertently kept the text as-is in Chinese. This is a forum in which English is the primary language of written communication, so there may not be too many other forum members and visitors who can understand your posts in Chinese; and fewer among those may actually reply. 這個論壇主要用英語溝通;我懂中文,但這裏多數壇友是不會的。你還是用英文發表吧!

 

Pilot Custom 742 是很不錯的筆。那就是你用作主力的一枝吧?

I endeavour to be frank and truthful in what I write, show or otherwise present, when I relate my first-hand experiences that are not independently verifiable; and link to third-party content where I can, when I make a claim or refute a statement of fact in a thread. If there is something you can verify for yourself, I entreat you to do so, and judge for yourself what is right, correct, and valid. I may be wrong, and my position or say-so is no more authoritative and carries no more weight than anyone else's here.

Haha, a better translation of that clause in parentheses would be, “letting my English teacher down” to properly convey the sentiment.

 Either way, I'd say google translate frequently lets language teachers down... :D

Yes, my friends love pens too (we met because of pens online) and we often trade and give pens to each other

The 742 is a really good pen, the Parker 51 and his imitations (like my other two pens) that I've always loved before. Because of the 742, I am going to try the platinum 3776 later.

Yes, translation sites always translate sentences in weird ways, so I'm worried if my words will bother you.

They're good too; I have a few of those. Don't overlook Sailor, though. Out of the Japanese ‘Big Three’ fountain pen brands (i.e. Pilot, Platinum, and Sailor), I like Sailor's nibs the most, although the incessant stream of ‘limited edition’ or ‘exclusive’ colourways it churns out season after season is cynical and got boring fast.

 

The Platinum #3776 Century's main selling point, given it no longer offers a price advantage over entry-level gold-nibbed Pilot and Sailor pens, is the Slip & Seal mechanism, which is very effective indeed; but, in my experience, Pilot Custom and Sailor Profit models prevent ink evaporation when capped almost just as well, in spite of not having a spring-loaded inner cap mechanism. I pulled out my Sailor Profit Black Luster the other day, which to the best of my knowledge (i.e. from my records) was last filled three years ago, and it still wrote without hesitation as soon as it was uncapped! Absolutely astounding. The converter in it is still half full of ink, between what little use it has seen and what evaporation may have taken place in 36 months.

 

The Platinum #3776 Century's next biggest selling point, I suppose, is that it offers UEF (Ultra Extra Fine) nibs at no extra charge on the entry-level models, and they're pretty damn fine. That said, the size #5 14K gold EF nibs on Pilot Custom models, and ‘medium-sized’ 14K gold EF nibs on Sailor (Professional Gear Slim, Profit Standard and Profit Light, and Promenade) models get close enough to that level of fineness and precision.

 

I endeavour to be frank and truthful in what I write, show or otherwise present, when I relate my first-hand experiences that are not independently verifiable; and link to third-party content where I can, when I make a claim or refute a statement of fact in a thread. If there is something you can verify for yourself, I entreat you to do so, and judge for yourself what is right, correct, and valid. I may be wrong, and my position or say-so is no more authoritative and carries no more weight than anyone else's here.

I think we're a pretty understanding group - we're from all over the world, so we'll be patient with "weird" sentences. :D

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
