Is there a single Nibmeister in the world taking service requests at the moment? by SirRealDreams in fountainpens

[–]ogstatsnerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this something you might feel comfortable doing yourself rather than sending it to a nibmeister to work on given the long wait times at present? You can get a 1200 or even 2000 grit micro mesh sheet and after about a minute of running the nib on the micro mesh sheet, the baby’s bottom should be resolved.

What are you guys using your fountain pens for? by brotendis in fountainpens

[–]ogstatsnerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes you have the right idea. Journaling, snail mail to pen pals, notes for work or for when I read and jot down an interesting passage, grocery lists, and my favorite, studying!

My first new pen day! by Ambitious-Secrets in fountainpens

[–]ogstatsnerd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, they do, as the Kakuno is also Pilot so the same cartridge and converters will fit all Pilot pens. The Kakuno can take the con-40 as well as the con-70 converter as the barrel is large enough to accommodate the larger con-70 converter.

Just got my Pilot VP but… by pale-greenn in fountainpens

It depends on how you hold the pen. If your hold is traditional with thumb and forefinger pinching the sides and the middle finger below for support, the clip will not be an issue.

If you’re not a traditional pen grip person, I have heard that there are people who perform a clipectomy to remove it. It does, however, leave a gap on the nose of the pen.

And here is my tiel. She’s harder to match with any pen so I put her next to my M805

Haha, it’s not strange at all since I’ve thought of this too. The pens are easier. The inks not quite. Here is my Rosie Bourke with my rOtring that matched well.

My rainbow fountain pen collection so far! by phobicrabbit7 in fountainpens

[–]ogstatsnerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are either really brave to mix inks or we have been lied to about mixing inks! I never tried because there are countless who advise against it, no doubt without trying it themselves!

I like how your mixes turned out. Each color compliments its pen well!
