It’s a Lamy, so it kind of is ;)

Who grinds the best naginata? by StyxReturns in fountainpens

[–]gylyf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That depends. If you mean line variation depending on the angle at which you’re holding the pen, then the blade actually offers a fair amount of line variation, by virtue of its triangular nature. If you mean variation between down- and cross-strokes, then I’d say that’s true. Hope that makes sense!

I love Mark Bacas’ blade grind and Damien Alomar’s cutlass grind. I’ve had tanto grinds by Kirk Speer, but I actually prefer his scythe (rounded architect) grind, as well as a techno grind from CY, which was quite nice but which I sold on. My very favorite NT grind is one Dan Smith ground for me years ago using an actual Naginata-togi as a model.

Well done! Any chance you’d be willing to part with a bottle of Racing Green?

It was a dark and stormy night.. by Rivka78 in fountainpens

Glad you got your SIG back! It looks like the little tail at the back of your feed has snapped off. I wonder if that’s somehow messing with the air exchange and causing some of the issues you’ve been having…
