 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!

      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

      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
