That Xezo looks fantastic with the abalone inlay!

The trees look like other pines, but the wood is yellow not white.

Haha, thanks for the dendrology lesson. That's actually pretty cool; I had no idea. Never know what you'll learn commenting on an ink review

 

Pretty picture too - now I'll always associate Shin-ryoku ink with those yellow pines.

What kind of nib is on that Parker 51. Looks like it creates a lush, smooth line.

elevennx - I believe it is a broad....I love it, was my grandfathers, and its a dry writer.

Jadehawk,

I have a writing sample at the end of this pen review.

Yeah!.. Asked for a video of a writing sample and you surprise me with almost 8 minutes of one.. Nice review, you make that nib stand out!..

 

Thank you.

Tringle,

It is an eyedropper. Hari sells the Wality eyedroppers to fit Esterbrook nibs. I posted about it in market watch recently. I've been using a Wality eyedropper for years...it adds a little bit of risk to my life, although this is my first fill with the Esterbrook nib, so I'm curious to see whether it holds ink as well as the volume goes down in the barrel. My Wality nib and feed let me get down to about 7/8 empty before blurping, and that's assuming it's not super hot and I'm not spending time in meetings sloshing the ink back and forth and heating it up. And, thanks for not judging my it's...

 

Amberlea,

that is one beautiful Sheaffer!

Congrats on making it to high school...of course, it's the parents' achievement, the kids just get old enough. So saith the father of 25 and 27 year-olds...

... before you think I'm justing letting this pen sit ...

 

No one would ever believe you might allow a pen to sit unused. Your writing looks great with that stub!

 

...good thing my adult children won't see this post, I'd never hear the end of it!

 

Oh I'm sure you are joined by in that sentiment by every person here with adult children! No judgments about punctuation or spelling or grammar here.

A new pen today that I picked up at the SF pen show from Ryan of Ryan Krusac Studios. If you like wood pens this is a real good looking spalted oak. It has a #6 German made nib (Dayacom) that is smooth but firm. The pen is well made with smooth transitions between the wood and metal portions. It is quite heavy to write with, so not recommended for long writing sessions.

Hi, new to the board, but have been lurking for a week or two. I wanted to introduce myself to my most oft read thread. Thanks for all your posts! Love seeing your handwriting. Here is my Noodler's nib creaper with a Wahl Oxford #2 nib and J. Herbin eclat de saphir on a Picadilly lined notebook.

Pilot Metropolitan M today with Diamine Coral just because I feel like being a little obnoxiously bright today. Check that green sheen on the back of the feed!

[amberleadavis]

Stunning.

David: That's a rather unusual lever on the Waterman 5116 - how does it work?
