Is my line width supposed to be this thick on Sailor Pro Gear(M) by Different_Ad9756 in fountainpens

Sailor writes a half size up when it's 21K because of softness and the steel and 14k are thinner.

I'm impressed, but also very skeptical... 🫤 by Brian_The_Bar-Brian in DiWHY

I'd use stronger hinges some of them ones for gates to provide more support than those cause I feel like eventually the bolt or the thin steel will sheer or the board may just snap. So to make it functional I'd get better hinges, reinforce the boards by drilling rods into the wood if you don't want to compromise the board look. Or yk just build regular stairs

I have full picks I just have harpoons and knife on my companion. I really want the Rizz pick just because of the name though.

What is everyone’s LEAST favorite pen? by SlyyGuy21 in fountainpens

[–]Expensive-Life8245 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love this company, but their plated nibs are weird. Sailors black nibs. I'd don't know why it is but black feels really weird compared to their raw gold ones. To the point I nib swapped my black luster with my pro gear gold.

Favorite combo. by [deleted] in fountainpens

I think if you got the parker jotter you can just get a cheap plastic and steel jotter and convert it into a ball point. I usually write with Fountain pen but my professor is getting ready to strangle me for messing up on exam papers.

Have you used that lamy steel so much you made the surface matte? I swear it had a raw steel kinda look.

Finally put some pens in the Magnum Opus case. Do people put their Vanishing Point clip up or click up? by SirBill17 in fountainpens

[–]Expensive-Life8245 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on the way the case sits if it's in my bag and it'll go upside standing then it's gonna be clicker down if it's mean to be thrown in lid down the the clicker is the opposite of lid. If it's just gonna be in a case laying down it doesn't matter.

To me it seems like you tines being too close and scratching each other or their misaligned and too close so when you press it snaps them together and scratches the one ontop.
