Today I have my charcoal K316.

I have noticed that, after around 6 years of near daily use & huge amounts of idle capping/uncapping, the thread is severely worn. May not have a great deal of life left in it. What a shame.

 

Regards

 

Richard.

That's not a bad return Richard, 6 years of heavy use.

Can a man of your undoubted ability not re-thread it, or do something with the threads.

 

In saying that....They aren't exactly bank breakers to replace are they.

The problem is building up missing material with something of equal hardness before re-threading. Less easy than it may seem.

 

They are fairly cheap though.

You're not kidding! At today's cost of $19 (without a box). $3.17/yr; $.264/mo. Tis a nice bargain!

Love the lighting on that shot. Reminds me of early morning meditation.

I have been using a Jinhao 500 which arrived in the post this morning.

It cost me £1.30 on ebay and it writes so much better than a pen that costs £1.30 has any right to.

I love the 500s Frank

I have a lovely blue one with a fine italic stub nib that is my dedicated Baystate Blue pen and it is a cracking pen.

 

Great pens the 500s.

Ian the Jock, I won't send you the bill or sue you for damages. No, I just want to thank you for the inspiration.

Now I fully understand your affection for this wee red pen

Pictures will follow soon.

Mine is scheduled to arrive on Saturday (I hope)! Ian has inspired us both. Can't wait to get my hands on this 'wee red pen'. I've order 'a bottle of' Emerald of Chivor just for the occasion

Helen, I've had about 6 different inks in mine already

I currently have Diamine burgundy rose in it, but as soon as it's empty I have a new bottle of crimson sitting waiting, and I've also ordered a bottle of shimmer red lustre, which I think will be very nice if the shimmer blue pearl is anything to go go by.

Jinhao x450 blue twist w/ Pelikan blue-black - it's stunning, it writes well and it can handle blbk for crying out loud! What a pen, man. What a pen.

 

Also grabbed my Jinhao 8812 in 'rosewood', which has been sorely under-utilized as of late. I'm not sure I like Diamine saddle brown in pens with relatively wide (aka medium) nibs, but the pen as such is an absolute darling.

 

/EDIT: oh wow. Concerning that 8812: decided to try and put some guitar cleaning fluid on the wooden part, because I had it standing around and it's 4 AM, which means that this seemed like an awesome idea. And honestly, it kind of was. Probably wouldn't try that with an expensive pen, though. Anyway, the pen is now 200% prettier. The wood looks more vibrant, the texture stands out more and it's got an almost tiger's eye-like look to it, like it usually only had in direct sunlight. 10/10 would do that again.
