Aha! Artistic skill, rather than nib-grinding. Thank you for solving the mystery.

 

Most welcome.

[northstar]

 

I don't care for the Ferrari branding, but this is one of the most beautiful pens I've ever seen! Northstar, where/when did you get it and how does it write? Thank you for sharing.

New nib for my Waterman... I like just looking at too

[ScarletWoodland]

It came! The nib still isn't quite right but it manages to write beautifully anyway.

 

 

Ugh. I spoke too soon. The tines are still too tight and recross themselves very easily.

First time inking this vintage beauty.

 

mrp100: I'm a big fan of Diamond pens. I'm not an obsessive collector, and don't actually know all that much about them, but I have a handfull, and all are just wonderful. I've never seen that material, before, though, and was very grateful that you posted it. Thank you.

Yes, it really is that insane colour.

I just stumbled on this as I was browsing through the "show us" thread

David, that's a fantastic job! how did you get Shawn to do that?... (you must have waited for ages, too...)

I had not seen an 88 mod before... (this deserves a place in the planet series...an 88 with CS barrel is "out of this world" )

[GlenV]

ActorOutOnLoan, you have a great pen there, looks like a soft feeling writer.. nice that you get to use it:)

ScarletWoodland I like your lady duofold, some of those little nibs can't take too much pressure I have a couple that can't anyway, without having to

realign them... does it have a lucky curve nib?

Awww. I had an Air Canada branded version of that pen in white. I used to love it. Its nib and its width were perfect for my day to day scribbling.

 

The pen unfortunately broke and I kept the nib as a keepsake in the hope it'll fit something else. Of all the broken bits of pen and all the sections laying in my tin of shame, the nib never has

 

Thank you for sharing this. As we know even the cheapest pens can bring us a great deal of pleasure.

Congratulations, again. It's a thing of beauty. I look forward to seeing the lines it puts down. (Hint. Hint.)

 

I have a love/hate relationship with the aesthetics of those nibs. On the one hand, I love the unadorned simplicity. (I chose my watch because it has a plain face with not brand logo on it.) On the other hand, every time I see one, I have a visceral reaction that it doesn't look right, being so...naked. :-) So, I contradict myself.

 

But the love of a nib is in the writing. I hope you fall ever more in love with each word written.

I generally only write with vintage or custom pens, but I tuned the nib on this Jinhao 599 in Richard Binder’s workshop last fall so I decided to put it into my rotation.

It's a humble start, but y'all have got me hooked on fountain pens! I'm loving the smoothness and playing with new ink colors and choices!

Hey, humble doesn't necessarily mean "lesser". I have Preppies and Lamys and they are the work horses in my pen stable! I love them and use them daily. I have a few of the fancier horses that I take out for our Sunday drive, but my humbler ones see more action. Enjoy your pens! That's why they are there. ^_^
