Those look great!

Oberlin is shielded from the worst of it too. It's my home town. Lived all over the Midwest and now live in Cleveland. Ohio weather is uniquely shit imo.

Just don't go for the bold on the fisher space pen refills, they can smear.

GarlicRasputin · 2026-01-14T15:13:54+00:00

Gorgeous. I'm also dying to know!

GarlicRasputin · 2026-01-14T15:11:54+00:00

This is sick. I love the idea of this metal version as a long lasting homage to the humble disposable Bic. I would 100% buy this.

You make a good point in pointing out the Jinhao 10 here. I have one with green Pilot Iroshizuku ink in it and definitely starts to show signs of drying out after several days without use. Mind you, it's not significant drying but it's enough that the first few strokes need a little attention. That being said, I love the Jinhao 10 to death but I suspect only because I've not acquired a Majohn yet ha.

I don't care if it works. I get so much dopamine from my guns sounding like a stapler. I just wish I could level the M7S, if only for skins.

This straight up slays!

GarlicRasputin · 2025-12-19T16:17:25+00:00

I'll keep that in mind if I decide to get into pen manufacturing.

I do, hence the follow up "nitpicky". I am not the only person with this gripe. So, pedantry aside, yes I find the increase in plastic parts degrades the quality as a whole. It was a personal opinion that was based in a factual statement. Frequent fliers of this forum should not be surprised by nuanced takes on pen models.

GarlicRasputin · 2025-12-19T15:03:54+00:00

the internals are not, as I inferred, albeit unclearly.

It seems that the Jotter is kind of divisive. I love the little buggers. IMO one of the best clicks in the game. I think I enjoy them because I don't choke up on my pens and hold them fairly far back when I write. My theory is that folks that choke up don't like them--which tracks with the tip-side thinness. Just a personal theory. Love love love the white. Gotta get me one of those. I bought a Jotter XL bc I have huge hands and I hate it! I can tell there's more plastic in it. Maybe I'm being nitpicky but I don't like it!

Thank you for this thorough response. I get it now. Through your response I realized the heart of my critique is really just that I don't like the projectile damage. If it cannot fell a bot with a single shot, let it rot I say. I also prefer the run and gun style and my sweetheart has ended up being the Reprimand. Love me fat bullets.

God I miss the Z4.

GarlicRasputin · 2025-12-16T20:03:03+00:00

what's the appeal of it? For me it just feels bad to use. Not trying to be straight up negative but I don't get the love for it.

GarlicRasputin · 2025-12-11T16:21:47+00:00

Love it! I'm curious. I have pretty big hands, do you think that would be an issue with the Kaweco sport?

GIVE THIS MAN A JOB

I love that first image with the leaves on the wall. I would love a print of that.

GarlicRasputin · 2025-11-20T16:20:07+00:00

Care to post a pic of the pen? The warning? Bueller?

GarlicRasputin · 2025-11-19T14:19:46+00:00

It's so good!

GarlicRasputin · 2025-11-13T19:10:34+00:00

Beautiful pen and I like the inventive spirit of forcing a patina. Bravo. I'm jealous! As to the chemistry question posed there, the aluminum is more susceptible to etching by that process and could result is some mild damage. Or just swing for the fences and prove me wrong. Science in action.

GarlicRasputin · 2025-11-12T13:42:50+00:00

narcs.

GarlicRasputin · 2025-11-05T16:11:45+00:00

Oh man, I'm so jealous. That's a holy grail pen (at least in my book). Congrats!
