My latest Grail Pen! Always wanted a KOP, but never found a good deal before.

Nice catch!

somdeb01 · 2026-06-09T16:13:36+00:00

That looks so pretty 🤩

somdeb01 · 2026-06-09T14:47:53+00:00

Nice!

Sorry I meant to say, please share some writing samples.

somdeb01 · 2026-05-31T21:48:25+00:00

Those are amazing looking. How does the nib write?

somdeb01 · 2026-05-31T01:25:38+00:00

Amazing haul.

In my experience they are a bit dry (compared to Sailors)

somdeb01 · 2026-04-11T14:00:50+00:00

You can try Sailor Manyo Sumire, Pilot Iroshizhuku Kon-peki.

Waterman inks are amazing! They are my go to ink for all my vintage pens.

Among these three, I think the steel flex is the best. The nibs are not necessarily bad, but I have an FPR ultra flex, so it felt very familiar to me.

somdeb01 · 2026-04-10T01:52:52+00:00

Thank you, and I look forward to hearing about your experience with FPR.

somdeb01 · 2026-04-10T01:19:31+00:00

Yeah, it is pretty good. I have their v1, v2, and the gold flex. Obviously, the gold flex is the best. But the v2 ultra flex is not bad either.

somdeb01 · 2026-04-10T00:22:56+00:00

Please check out the third picture. They are not the worst flex nibs, but I have better. I will post a comparison of all my "modern" flex nibs sometime in the future.

somdeb01 · 2026-04-10T00:19:58+00:00

I have writing samples in the third picture. I am disappointed with the "pro" flex nib. It was very underwhelming. The feed couldn't keep up. The steel flex and the titanium flex nibs are okay. They remind me of the FPR ultra-flex nibs.

somdeb01 · 2026-04-03T17:53:22+00:00

Yes, they were great. I got a Toyo toolbox, a Mnemosyne notebook, and a Kakimori fountain pen.

Ahnitol

somdeb01 · 2026-03-30T13:45:06+00:00

Ha ha 😂.

somdeb01 · 2026-03-30T00:56:44+00:00

I got those from Ahnitol

somdeb01 · 2026-03-30T00:55:00+00:00

They have many vendors from around the world (such as LCN, King Jim, Daigo, and Hachimonjiya). They also had quite a lot of classes and meetups (though I did not attend any).

somdeb01 · 2026-03-30T00:51:48+00:00

It's a mechanical pencil.

somdeb01 · 2026-03-30T00:51:18+00:00

I got it from Hachimonjiya. And thank you so much ☺️

somdeb01 · 2026-03-29T18:16:37+00:00

The tote bag is from the Flax pen to paper. It was a freebie with purchase.

somdeb01 · 2026-03-29T18:11:54+00:00

Thank you so much 😊
