fountainpens

Currently Im taking all my notes at work digitally again, after using my trusty Fountain pens for a while, because its just so more convenient. I really like the thought of taking notes to do lists again on paper. I seem to better recall written text and I like the attention it takes to think about What to write down and...

I was recently gifted what I believe to be a Pilot Metropolitan Taupe Lizard (see photo)...

Really happy with this one. I love the ribs!...

I made these on my laser cutter a few years ago. The lids use magnets to help them stay on. They’re cut from 1/8" maple and walnut plywoods. Short demo video here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=UjAaykdz8H8. If you have access to a laser cutter and are interested in making some yourself, the files are available for download on my...

I’ve had my eye on this pen for a long time (thanks Reddit, haha), and I’ve wanted to try iroshizuku inks too. Found both for a decent discount, so finally pulled the trigger 😁

I’ve been using this pen for a while, not sure how long with the hero 234 ink. It’s perfect. The nib and the pen itself still has the old moonman branding....

Broad nib and Diamine Communication Breakdown ink. It’s my only Sailor pen. I wish I could write something smart about it but it just writes! The engraving on the nib is a bottle of sake together with a cup and three sakura petals falling into the cup.

My Kaco EDGE is drying out, even when using it the next day. I feel that the issue is related to the converter, because usually I can fix the issue (even for a couple of days) by driving the converter just a little bit outwards and then cleaning the pen. The converter is a rather cheap one made of plastic. It came in a set with...

Hi!...

I recently started using a tablet and pen (Wacom Intuos S if you’re curious) for work and I cannot keep track of the pen - it’s slim, black, and blends in with my desk. I know that this is the fountain pen community rather than an ergonomics community, but I bet you all have tips for a pen stand/holder. What do you use to...

I love that Diamine works together with the community to create new inks....

Designed and 3D printed by me to fit an Ikea Alex drawer unit, my pens and Diamine inks.

I got my first fountain pen around late 2017, curious about the writing experience. It was some kind of Jinhao (not pictured) that isn’t often in circulation any more because despite being labeled as a fine nib, it writes way too heavy for me....

A gift from my wife. A La Grande or 146 with an oblique broad nib.

Hi everyone, I’m pretty new to fountain pens. I’m looking to buy a teal ink. I have two Iroshizuku inks that I really like, tsuki-yo and yu-yake, so I was thinking maybe I should get syo-ro. However, I’m also thinking that it would be worth trying another brand. Can anyone make any recommendations?...

Im excited to be on lemmy with other pen people! Is there a separate place for trading, selling and buying pens like on reddit? I know things are still kind of in flux so there may not be anything yet but I definitely want to join if something is already out there.

Hello all, I recently joined, looking for a Reddit alternative....

Several new inks and two new pens over the last few days! The Pilot Metro I’ve had for a couple of weeks now, but had been using the stock black cartridge that came with it while the Diamine Emerald got lost in the mail for a few days. While waiting for the Emerald, I got impatient and bought a three-pack of Diamine...
