Recommended Posts

Appeared a few weeks ago but now available in all four colours and the "long knife" ("nagita togi") nib,  not just the EF.

The new and upscaled offerings from China are coming quickly now.  It seems that the floodgates have been opened and temptations abound.

Thanks for this. I had no idea it was the year of the bunny.

Ii guess I need to get one (or two) to go with my new bunny knife.

The red, blue, and black look like something I would put into my pocket ... filled with a suitable red, blue, and black ink, of course.

I got my N23 bunny pen today, and it's really beautiful. I'm simply shocked and amazed at the quality of Chinese pens for such little $$$. I'm not about to give up my Sailors, but I think long and hard before I drop $1,000 on a pen. Meanwhile I've ordered another Hongdian after loving the bunny pen so much.

I hate it when they make it in various colors because it's so hard to chose. LOL. It's so easy with the Majohn demonstrators like the C1,C4, V1, cause they come in one option. I'm thinking for months now between the red, blue and white and still haven't decided on one.

      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

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @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
