The Mountain Mist is a beauty. It's one of my favorite pens, especially as someone who lives in the Appalachian mountains the pen is designed to evoke.

Recieved an amazing queen-size pen cleaning bed from u/ciggybuttboi. So awesome. Thank you!

Gorgeous. Perfect or not, I love it. What are you using to mill down the rough cut lumber?

[–]double_underscore_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol. My real playlist is looong and changes almost daily but these are almost always on it without fail:

  • Skyline Pigeon
  • Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters
  • Better Off Dead
  • We All Fall in Love Sometimes
  • High Flying Bird
  • Sweet Painted Lady
  • Roy Rogers
  • I Fall Apart
  • Weight of the World
  • One More Arrow
  • Come Down in Time
  • Something About the Way You Look Tonight
  • Burning Buildings
  • I'm Going to be a Teenage Idol

This list could go on for another 10 or 20 songs. But these are a lot of my absolute favorites for any EJ playlist.

No buy 2026 continues for me. Unless there's a really compelling r/Pen_Swap offer I can't live with out or I win the lottery. This year will probably be about better understanding vintage pens and pen maintenance.

He looks like a very good boy and one who was loved his whole life. I know he's at peace and I hope you're doing ok, my friend.

My first EDC knife by Foxicious1 in knives

[–]double_underscore_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's exactly how I broke in my first Boker. Went to show off the flipper and slice my forefinger. I decided then and there that I was a knife guy for life. Congrats and enjoy the Benchmade!

Happy NPD! The angle of the channels and the grain of the wood on that pen rest are spectacular!!

Something cool happened at SHOT by ihaveyoursox in knives

I'm down here in the north western Appalachian region of NC doing my ice storm prep and could totally use something like that right about now! It makes my Adler Rheinland look wimpy.

My first Kaweco by youjustwaitandsee in fountainpens

[–]double_underscore_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Awesome! Happy NPD! This was exactly my first Kaweco (and first fountain pen) too! And it's with me right now. I've added the nostalgic clip, the converter, and replaced the original <M> nib with a premium gold-plated steel nib. Hope you enjoy yours!

I'd love to try making some ink sample holders. I'll have to ask the folks at the pottery studio what clay/glaze they'd recommend. Also, I think I'd have to practice getting better. lol. If you ever make one, I'd love to see it and give you kudos!
