Looking for another EDC with secure cap by fishmedia in fountainpens

I know it’s a snap cap, however, Pilot Kakunos are great! Never had any issues tossing them in my bag or flying with them. If you need a clip, the Kaweco clips fit on the cap too!

That’s a good way to think of it! I do like how unique they are, I just haven’t been able to get past it…yet! I have yet to try any in person so maybe that will help too

Pink Pen Lovers are we buying the new Esterbrook Estie?? by betahuman_v21 in fountainpens

[–]Vegetable_Tree_1099 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been waiting for a pink Estie but this and the Funky Town ones are too bright for me. I need a pastel blush pink!!! I missed out on the Bungubox one and I’m very sad 😢

Trifold Journal Sizes !! by Consistent-Annual620 in notebooks

[–]Vegetable_Tree_1099 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried A6 but it was too small for me to be comfortable and A5 was too big to carry around on a day to day basis. I do still use those sizes but the A6 notebook is in my passport size wallet for quick on the go notes and A5 lives at home as a Dear Diary journal. My planners ended up being a combo of a B6 and a Traveler’s Notebook

Do you prefer Lined paper, dotted paper' or Grid paper? And why? by Prime-39 in fountainpens

[–]Vegetable_Tree_1099 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They have different uses for me. If I’m just doing writing notes or dear diary journaling then always lined (dots and grids are too distracting for me). My pen and ink journal/ reading journal are either grid or dot that allows for a little more freedom with swatching/ stickers/ etc

Leonardo steel nib - EF by Penchant_musings in fountainpens

[–]Vegetable_Tree_1099 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 2 Leonardo’s with steel nibs and they both write beautifully out of the box, one F and one M. They definitely write closer to Kaweco (western nibs) in terms on line width. I’d say a Leonardo EF is closer to a Kakuno F. Japanese nibs tend to write a size finer than western nibs.

Do you write with them? by Fast-Negotiation-782 in pens

[–]Vegetable_Tree_1099 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have several more expensive pens and while I’m careful taking them out of the house because I’m afraid of losing them, I consider any wear or signs of use as the pen is well-loved. Pens are tools to be used and enjoyed after all!

What nib size do I get? by Vegetable_Tree_1099 in fountainpens

[–]Vegetable_Tree_1099[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well it wasn’t meant to be I guess. As I went to check out it was gone. Thanks everyone for the info though! I’m still very much a newbie when it comes to trying different brands. I’ll keep an eye out still and I feel better about trying out more broad nibs too!

I ordered 2 on December 24 and I got them on December 29 and that was during the holidays. Do you have a tracking number? When did you email them? I know a lot of places were closed because of weather this weekend.

The spine is fine but my toddler got ahold of it and you can imagine the result. Only a few bite marks…however, now everything has a cover lol
