 No Helen you do not miss it , its not a Jinhao original , its a store specialty , before Jinhao had their own pattern acrylic variant ( only solid colour back then ) one of the first and that batch AFAIK only count something like 200 units

They dry out too fast in my climate. And not worth the shipping to give them away to somewhere more congenial. Bin. :angry:

Will work for pens... :unsure:

I don't know how to read Kanji. If anyone whom does can tell me what the pens say I would appriciate it.

If anyone cares, the knife is a Higo no Kami 10.

 I use Yandex to translate text in pictures a bunch. Take a clear photo of the characters on the pen, upload, and it shows you the same image with translation where the characters are.

Today I am trying my Moonman 80 lake blue for the first time. I’ve inked it with Diamine Earl Grey but it feels a little dry on regular notebook paper. It’s great on my glossy planner.

Jinhao 82, but I swapped the nib with a medium/bold #5 nib I've been keeping around (Scrikss, a Turkish fountain pen company). Works nicely.7855B9D3-1C29-4923-981C-EA3557AE5BE4_1_105_c.thumb.jpeg.6b8caa9681b136ae8f2c8c416c758195.jpeg8C63A1E8-78A0-4FFD-81AA-172BBB81EE05_1_105_c.thumb.jpeg.5129fe84a8f50b01dab026f7fa482416.jpeg045BC73E-ABA1-40C0-999C-79A4FB7CF071_1_105_c.thumb.jpeg.e32bb98c1ecf0ee20f242179a82b3042.jpeg

 

 

I'm also using Majohn T5, but I swapped the nib with a Jinhao #6 nib, because that moonman nib was too dry. Loving the pen as it is now!

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
