Well done, httpmom. Funny how the Nikko and Zebra are just so slightly different! Great writing too! Have fun. :D

Edit: @Ptero, haha! Yes, Sia always has these huge wigs to cover her face and the last time she was on SNL, she had these eyes painted on her cheeks and I found it kind of clever.

Pterodactylus, i do that all the time. lots of pens in rotation and i can write only with one at a time - ink has plenty of time to ripen :).

I doubt that you did this with such a Noodler´s Ink (Golden Brown is similar).

It´s not a problem of sufficient sealing.

I had it in very good sealing pens, and even if the sealing is not that good something like this must not happen.

I have my pens also inked up very long, many months, sometimes up to years.

And when you have a ink in a pen for such a long time (and in that case not even a long time is needed) the good inks separate from the not so good/problematic inks.

 

This ink simply isn´t stable, If you would have inked it up and let it sit unused you would already observed something like this (it´s an amazing shading effect ink, but not a stable well behaved ink):

Or maybe I´m completely wrong, this is a hidden feature.

It´s a undocumented hardcopy feature.

Mr. Tardif should immediately increase the price for it, and advertise the hardcopy feature actively.

@skysora Thanks! I have pens of all colors. I've just really been digging reds lately. Must be the time of year, because greens have been slipping their way in too. ;) (And I'm normally not one filled with holiday spirit. Hmm.)

 

I really should share more of the writing/drawing aspect of it, not just the pens. *guilty*

Beautiful Photos as always Attilla.

I´ve had the Stresemann in the shopping basket 5 times over the past 3 days, and the thing that´s holding me back is choosing between a M and a F nib.

After seeing your post, I´m actually leaning more towards an EF nib. It really looks more like a medium than an EF.

 

Hope you enjoy it.

I just got a dozen Braham's Patent Pens Lawyer's Stubs from an eBay auction, and I love them! I have seen the Braham's Patent Pens brand pop up on eBay many times, but I have not been able to find any info on the company. I bought them largely because of the odd looking reservoirs that they came with, but they turned out to be a great buy. These pens are flexible, without being noodley and provide an excellent line variation, both as a standard stub nib and in flex.

 

Holder: e+m cork tipped mahogany holder

Pen: Braham's Patent Pens Lawyer's Stub

Ink: Yasutomo Sumi

Paper: Life Vermilion notebook

Very nice! Always good to find another flexible stub. I'm a big fan of the dip stubs. Very cool!

 

So many manufacturers that have disappeared and left nothing behind. If there's a definitive history of steel pen manufacturers, I've not heard about it. Sounds like a fun project for when I hit the lottery and don't have anything to do buy troll eBay and archives.

I confess to being more of a person who posts when he has a new pen, than a commenter on the amazing pens and writing/artwork of my fellow FPNers. I will try to contribute more to provide encouragement and constructive suggestions to the good people of this forum.

It wasn't until last year I suddenly started developing a taste for black ink, so I'm always eager to see samples of different blacks. Thanks InkyFingers :)
