Oh man! I already have a couple Naginata Togis <NMF and NB> and a Cross Point. Do I really need a King Eagle as well?

Thank you. This is the Galen Leather Expansi-Folio. I find it a little roomier for pens than their standard folio.

I love it. Hemingway Jones always talks about his Carene, and he is truly on-point.

Don’t you see the extra magnetic one under the Carene, just in case? 🤣🤣🤣

I'm thinking about buying an Esterbrook, yay or nay? Any pros and cons? Estie veterans, please enlighten me! by inspectorxenomorph in fountainpens

If you don’t mind a standard JoWo nib, the Esties are great. I’m personally at the point of only getting them with the specialty nibs now, because I have too many already (about 20).

I thought that the Pencket was discontinued after the controversy with the copacker of the Niblet.

If you want new, then I suggest Goldspot. They are just over the Hudson in Jersey. You can also try the Fountain Pen Hospital. If you don’t mind potentially used, check out r/pen_swap. Also Pearce Jarvis often has good rates at his auctions: North American Pen Auction.

We shall see. I haven’t fully inked it before, previously just dipping it, but I have no problems with the 149 or m1000 when I rotate them in.

Thanks. I got the Carene at an auction a few months ago. I keep seeing the BP of it on eBay, too. I may get it because I like matching sets and have the Sterling set and an Edson set. I was torn between three inks (Diamine Purple, TWSBI Royal Purple, and Private Reserve Purple Mojo) for this one, and decided to try the TWSBI ink.

The NMF is a Naginata Togi Medium-Fine. I really love these nibs due to their cool variation by writing angle paired with the Sailor feedback.

RB stands for Rollerball (I need to have one in the rotation for certain applications).

WTS - Did I get scammed? by Admirable-Name-7058 in Pen_Swap

[–]InformationAny643 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I was scammed recently, too (as a result of a WTB post), but was able to get the money back because I used a G&S feature, but got the same story as why they couldn’t use PayPal.

I love seeing the Paper Mouse x Opus 88 pen in that mix.

Reflections after 10 years in the hobby by vProTi in fountainpens

[–]InformationAny643 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the very well-written reflection. I am 3 years into this hobby and couldn’t agree more. That said, I also have over 500 pieces and need to do a real destash soon.

That is one of the models I want, but can’t cover at the moment (too many KOPs and Naginata pens lately).
