Wing Sung 699. I ground the nib a bit to get it stub-like. Still needs some smoothing, i think

A wingsung 618 with Diamine Night Sky (Ignore the Nemosine neutrino in the BG).

 

This nib is surprisingly smooth and wet. It's supposedly an EF hooded nib, but it shows shimmer well (I was an idiot and took a picture on the wrong page, bg inks are solferino and shimmering seas)

Does a Twsbi Swipe made in China is a Chinese pen or a Taiwanese Pen? If it is a Chinese pen then a Swipe with 1.1 nib and brown Skip Ink.

Today's journal pen was a Wing Sung 601A with a conical nib and Diamine Salamander. The nib is beautifully fine and not a hint of scratchy.

Today's Chinese pen is a dark teal Hero 565, an aerometric one, filled with J Herbin Vert de Gris. This is my first Hero with that type of filler and I may have been doing something wrong because I got a lot of bubbles coming out with each press and ended up with only a partial fill.

The Kaweco Sport fits nicely in a side pocket of my work trousers but I'm anxious about the fragile plastic if I bump against machinery 'n' stuff. I see Jinhao has a bunch of metal bodied pens I hadn't seen before (35, 65, 88), and the black Jinhao 35 catches my eye.

Some might think it's plain and boring and I couldn't argue, but that's what I like about it. No-nonsense, practical, unobstrusive. I expect the thing to work well (I have a better experience with Jinhao than Wing Sung, for example) and it does. Nice wet writer, thought that might've had something to do with my tendency to splay tines ever so slightly. Also might've turned the EF line into an F verging on M, but hey ho. It's holding the last bit of a sample of Noodler's Walnut.

Love the looks of that checkboard Jinhao 100.  Nice pairing with the FPR ultraflex nib.

Beautiful blue ink with nice shading.

Did you change out the feed or is the feed the pen came with (I presume plastic) keeping up. It appears to be

      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
