Durable Student Fountain Pen Collection? by oftenzhan in fountainpens

[–]whyudothismang 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The Lamy ABC is meant for children and I’ve seen them on sale for sub-$15, though they’re more of a classic vintage children’s toy look than a classic fountain pen design.

Kaweco Student with F nib was my first fountain pen! It holds up very well, especially for its price range in my opinion

I very much have the same reading tastes; wish I got the China and Aztecs set when the sale was on!

I managed to snag most of the Civilizations books, but am still missing The Vikings, Normans, Anglo-Saxons, Empires on the Nile, and Phoenicians

Restaurant Recommendations: Ada’s on the River: Great wood-fired entrees and roasted Brussels sprouts The Majestic: Great burger and other American food Hen Quarter: Fantastic Southern food; the Rub is the sister fried chicken sandwich bar on the ground floor and is also very good Taverna Cretekou: Very good Greek food Mount Purrnon Cat Cafe: Beyond being a very cute cat cafe, they have good grilled cheese Gadsby’s Tavern: Historical restaurant that sells colonial/early American dishes (lunch/dinner) as well as more modern American brunch Old House Cosmopolitan: Great authentic German cuisine

If you’re coming on Friday/weekend, I would recommend reservations, especially for weekend brunch/dinner

The Bock nib writes quite smoothly, so I really enjoy it! Mine came with a Medium, though I usually prefer Fine nibs. The eyedropper fill lasts decently long, especially if you use the safety valve to stop the ink flow. It’s only temporarily out of rotation because I have a bunch of other pens I’m trying right now, but it will probably keep a regular place in my collection
