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.

 

large.WingSung601A_DiamineSalamander.jpg.a363af600a49b0de0d424aed3d32039f.jpg

I was just browsing through, and suddenly this nib caught my eye.  It looks like the SchonDsgn's Monac nib (or rather, Monac nib loos a bit like this nib?).  At least the visible part of it.  I wonder how this 601A's conical nib looks like when it is removed from the pen?

Just got a Hongdian Black Forest with a fude nib. I really like these pens... We have 3 with different finishes and nib styles now.

 

One of my daily drivers is a Jinhao 159 that I received as a Pay It Forward from @Sailor Kenshin. It's also pretty great.

For the last few days I've been using a Majohn/Moonman M800 (the orange one) but with a Jowo/Anderson pens 1.1 stub...amazing...my first stub!!

 

This pen was unusable with the Moonman nib...never experienced something as bad as that nib (only into fountain pens for a year now). I swapped in a medium and it was..ok..not great but ok. Totally transformed with the stub nib though!!!

Orange Jinhao X159 inked with Pilot Iroshizuku Shin-Ryoku (Dark Green) ink. Nifty little writer so far!

Jinhao X159 "Hemingway"! I am really enjoying tinkering with these.20230210_113726.thumb.jpg.e54a9be8be5082b7cb36a74f71a033e4.jpg

looking good.  how did you take off / swap the end finial? just try to unscrew with force?

Maybe you can try swapping the cap finial too, maybe'll look even better.

@AceNinjait just twists off with some force. though I will say "do at your own risk" because its probably possible to break it. The cap finial also unscrews but it has a slotted nut inside that holds it all together and is difficult to screw back in once it is undone.

@shane27 My black and orange X159 pens arrived yesterday and I made your swap. I'm super pleased with the very attractive pen that resulted. Thank you for the inspiration!

There is a X159 Heminway with orange cap and a reverse one with black barrel an orange cap. Maybe there are other nice mixtures: white barrel and black cap, or yellow and green ,etc..

      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
