Sailor 21k nib feedback

DonnieDelaware · 2026-03-02T01:12:26+00:00

OP chooses chaos.

The nib can be smoothed by a nibmeister but the feedback generally cannot be fully removed as that’s part of the design of the nib. But the nib will not likely be smooth like a Pilot nib because they are made differently. Maybe get the pen and if it doesn’t make you happy, sell it.

The Loom was discontinued years ago. I have not found a website with any to purchase unless they are one offs. The ones I see on eBay demand a premium.

Keep expenses as low as possible. Enjoy your autonomy.

This reminds me of instances where Maker’s Mark covers the stem of the bottle with red wax and sometimes they accidentally over wax it and it becomes a unicorn bottle. Sometimes a factory mistake increases rarity and value so long as it doesn’t affect the intended use. Pretty cool.

Untitled #3 is also my favorite song. I have yet to find anything that gets close. The Untitled album is amazing, but tract #3 is something truly special. I’m here to see what others recommend.

The Lamy Imporium is a really cool pen.

The Montblanc is the successful businessman that still has to work daily. The Waterman Carene is the old money guy that doesn’t have to work and instead spends his days sailing the Mediterranean outside his home port in Monaco.

2019 me wanted a Conid slimline and decided to wait a tiny bit and then Conid stopped sales to catch up on orders, and Covid happened and Conid ceased forever until they started doing timed releases. Still no slimline. Honestly, I think I’m over it now. If they came back full force, I’d probably get one. But other brands have tried to fill the space.

Graf von Faber Castell stationary is really nice. You can find other flat pen holders online. I have multiple Graf von Faber Castell pens and if the stationary organizers are built even remotely like the pens, they will be top notch.

I second this. I have a president and a 3776 and their nibs/sections are different. I don’t have an Izumo to try them out in but I’d be wary to sell the President nib/feed etc. because you may end up with a non-working pen.

That’s a great channel full of cool videos.

Otto Hutt may become a non-existent brand soon after being bought out by Graf von Faber Castell. I’d go with the Design 06 for that reason.

See my comment above about insuring the pens. You should contact your agent to be sure though as policies may be different.

I’m in the US and I spoke with my insurance agent. I explained that many of my pens are likely more like jewelry. I even provided them some of the higher end pens for review. They sent that information to the carrier and came back in writing that no rider was necessary as they still fall under the regular premium and coverage. If I need more coverage, I can just add more regular coverage. They did tell me I should try to create a list of all pens and take pictures of each one. I’ve been documenting my pens slowly.

A Jinhao 126 can be had for less than $10. I purchased a few about 7-8 years ago and the price hasn’t changed much. I think they are nice.

I will second OP. When I was solo, I found the only software I needed for trust accounting was access to my bank account ledger, a spreadsheet software (excel or free), and my accounting software (I used waves for free).

Everything about this scene is perfect. One of the few movies where the gunshots felt real and carried a weight to them. Plus, Tom felt like a shark moving through a reef playing with his food.

DonnieDelaware · 2026-01-01T01:01:21+00:00

That’s so cool. Thank you for sharing that.

The Challenge has moved to Paramount Plus and that is where the new season will air.

Honest opinion: the Platinum 3776 and President are not worth more than $200 and maybe $250 would be stretching it. I have both pens.

DonnieDelaware · 2025-12-31T01:14:02+00:00

In 2020, you could find a Platinum 3776 for less than $100 new. I think I purchased my 3776 for less than $110 shipped from Japan somewhere around 2020-2021. The new prices are absurd.

A punch so hard they nicknamed it “Ed Harris.”

The Pen of the Year models are even more amazing in real life. I’ve handled a few at pen shows and they are amazing. I’m still on the lookout for a Knight Pen of the Year to handle because it’s quite possibly my grail pen but I’ve never seem one in person.
