My first Wahl-Eversharpe


Mark from Yorkshire

Recommended Posts

Wow just got my first ever Wahl-Eversharpe and am impressed. The nib is as good if not better than the fine nib on my Sailor Shikiori hisakata black star dust. It is a really smooth writer. 

 

That was a good find on https://www.vintagefountainpens.co.uk

 

well done Helen and Mark.

Most of us here were hoping for a picture of the actual pen you purchased.   But, we are all glad you have enjoyed your purchase.

Ok as requested I have finally got round to photographing the pen and a writing sample using it. Please excuse my rather sketchy handwriting

Mark from Yorkshire, your Skyline is beautiful, I also really like the softness and flexibility of some of these pens. As for your handwriting, it is very good, legible and organized.
Congrats on the acquisition!
Best Regards

NICE EXAMPLE, Mark,

I think you will find that the model you have is called "Presentation"

      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
