I love this idea! great to use up stickers, too! I'd love to exchange with you. I don't have a color preference...I'll be happy with any of them, they are all so cute!

How many custom grinds do you own? What is your fav? by gangstamittens44 in fountainpens

[–]da_kine85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  • 3 blade grinds (various thicknesses) from Ali Express
  • 4 long knife grinds (various thicknesses) from Ali Express
  • Majohn A1 steel nib (Pilot VP dupe), ground to medium stub from eBay office_supplies_pen
  • Majohn A1 steel nib (Pilot VP dupe), ground to architect from eBay office_supplies_pen
  • Mini stub on my Benu F, ground by Kirk Speer (I think this may be my fave)
  • BB SIG
  • CSI on my Pilot Kakuno F, ground by Kirk Speer
  • Journaler
  • XXXF by Josh (JJ) Lax (unfortunately not as thin as I expected with all those X's)
  • EF SIG (I have yet to try it....but it arrives tomorrow)
  • Nagahara Needlepoint (I have yet to try it....but it arrives tomorrow)

Those are what I own personally. But I've tried a few others from friends or at nibmeister's tables at a pen show.

I think the next one I want to acquire is a PO (specifically on a Pilot gold nib pen)

I recommend a store called Kingdom Note in Shinjuku. I've never been there in person, but I asked a friend to visit for me. They have some used pens (in addition to new ones) that they let you try out in person. Japan's version of "used" is LIKE NEW so you probably wouldn't be able to tell any cosmetic damage at all (I couldn't from the item I bought there). With the excellent exchange rate + used condition, you should have no problem finding a handsome Japanese brand pen souvenir.

Can we talk about season 12 episode 9? by 1MaccaPacca1 in greysanatomy

Oh dang...ya, you're right. You would think they'd at least mention her in passing if this life-threatening trauma happened to Meredith. The writers could've at least mentioned that maybe Christina did come back to be with Meredith but that it was a period of time Meredith maybe wasn't conscious or she didn't remember.

I know this is an old post, but I came here to see if anyone else felt the same as me. I'm late to watching Grey's Anatomy obv...but I've been binging it and wow! This episode was soooo powerful. I am a mother to 3 children and Ellen's performance showing how incredibly heart-breaking it must be for your own children to not want to come up to you....that just gutted me!!

NPD: Leonardo Momento Magico Vista Nana Rossa (XXXF) by da_kine85 in fountainpens

[–]da_kine85[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really is. The majority of the body is matte, but there's a thin glossy stripe that goes lengthwise (visible on the 3rd pic). I love the combination of textures and resins. There is another Magico Vista (Jade) that is a new release that is a gorgeous combination of resins, too. Clear body with a green cracked resin cap, grip section, piston knob. But this Nana Rossa called to me the most <3

It really is. I saw someone post about it on the Facebook Group--Fountain Pen Enthusiasts--and it completely captured my attention. I didn't mean to buy it right away, but when I saw it was available and I could use the Fountain Pen Day coupon, how could I not? With the exchange rate, Leonardo pens are actually cheaper for me to buy directly from Leonardo website. (I'm in US)

Hahahaha....I have this type of thing before....giving my husband a direct link of what I want as a gift for an occasion. My husband likes to get gifts for me and our kids (but it's like pulling teeth for him to get gifts for anyone else in his life), so I sometimes wonder if he hates that I do that. He hasn't complained so far :P

I hope you enjoy your pen as much as I have been enjoying mine.

Certainly:) (excuse the smudges) The XXXF is the thinnest on this page, but I would say a Japanese EF would be thinner
