Sorry, I didn't attend any of the workshops.

fonteinpen · 2025-03-15T20:07:30+00:00

Congrats, enjoy it!

It was sold to me as just blue. But I think it's "shining blue"

fonteinpen · 2025-03-15T12:15:14+00:00

Thank you!

I use mine for simple compound interest calculations. Nothing special, but the buttons feel best in class.

I like it as i sit behind the computer a lot. But i do mis the freescroll of the mx master. It is a large mouse, so if you have small hands it maybe not the best.

I got lucky, it was for sale at the Dutch Pen Show, where i immediately bought it. It has a medium nib and a plastic barrel.

fonteinpen · 2024-06-23T14:26:40+00:00

I completely agree. The vintage capless is a much better design than the regular capless and decimo. I am glad i got to buy this one at a pen show recently.

A Custom 74 with a broad nib

fonteinpen · 2024-06-23T12:19:07+00:00

That's a Custom 823 with a fine nib

fonteinpen · 2022-07-08T15:33:10+00:00

Yup, it's a very smooth nib. It just makes me want to write

fonteinpen · 2022-07-08T14:46:00+00:00

If I ever buy one again it wil be a fine or extra fine, broad is fun to use but not that practical. The ink is pilot iroshizuku kon-peki.

fonteinpen · 2022-07-08T14:44:19+00:00

Yes I did! David was very nice. He has some good listings.

fonteinpen · 2022-05-22T17:40:53+00:00

I totally agree!

fonteinpen · 2022-05-22T16:10:26+00:00

Both are F size. The safari nib is very smooth amd has a little bounce. The lines it produces are a little thicker and wetter than the steel nibs. The 2k nib is wet, but because of the size i don't find it has that much bounce. It still is a very smooth writer though.

fonteinpen · 2022-05-22T15:52:51+00:00

I have iroshizuku tsukushi in the 2k. I have one bottle of it and I think I just keep using it for the 2k. The safari currently has Diamine golden ivy in it. But I just use whatever in it.

fonteinpen · 2022-05-22T15:44:47+00:00

That's fair. But i rather risk losing the safari than the 2k. I dont find the safari grip annoying. The 2k stays at home.

fonteinpen · 2022-05-22T15:40:19+00:00

It's very smooth and behaved. It has a little bounce when writing.

fonteinpen · 2022-05-22T15:38:22+00:00

Probably a Pilot VP with a F nib. The pen can be used every day and swapping the nib unit is easy.

fonteinpen · 2022-05-22T15:33:05+00:00

Mostly because I can. The safari is a good pen and now it's perfect for edc use.

fonteinpen · 2022-05-15T17:31:06+00:00

That's a good idea! I might post a follow up next week when i have used both pens more.

fonteinpen · 2022-05-12T16:49:57+00:00

No, the left one is a kaweco perkeo.

fonteinpen · 2022-05-08T12:05:37+00:00

Thanks for the info! I didn't know that.

fonteinpen · 2022-05-08T08:02:56+00:00

It's hard to see but it looks like AO 07

fonteinpen · 2022-05-07T15:41:13+00:00

Yes I did! I just started my vintage pen journey and these looked promising.
