what color did you get?

looks cool in this sample

green

I was thinking purple, but they were sold out

the price dropped 100 dollars, so I think they're trying to get rid of all the pens since it was a limited run

you have to post some pics of using it

here is the green one, i shall take a picture once I write something nice.

I'm worried I might spring the nib, that is what all the reviews say 'careful with the extra flessible nib, it springs!'

it looks kinda similar to the pilot falcon in terms of flex, although i feel like mine flexes more than in that sample

did you get a falcon?

yea, thats the same as the namiki falcon right?

it doesn't take tons of pressure to flex like an ahab, but i guess the nibs are prone to springing if you go too far. gourmet pens did a review with sbrebrown because they got a pen to review

and he sprung the nib

yeah, the namiki/pilot falcon

you didn't say you got one! do you like it?

i loveeee it, writes like butter, i totally thought i posted about it! i've had it for awhile

maybe i missed it

sbrebrown and gourmet pens are lucky ducks

yeah, you know, i was just talking to someone who is interested in fountain pens, a lot of people say that it doesn't matter, steel or gold nibs, but i don't know, I really like every gold nib pen I have

and i can't say that about steel

it defintley feels more smooth

yeah, they have a huge pen collection and they seem to get pens to review, I don't know if they have to send them back after

so i bought a pelikan m400 at the start of the year, it is really smooth

and my bf got me a platinum 3776 with a cursive italic nib that i love drawing with, no flex, but you get a really fine cross stroke so you can turn the pen for thin lines

do you draw a lot with the namiki falcon?

i still want to get an italic nib fountain pen one day because you said that

its pretty much all i draw with now, i keep flipping between that and my lamy

i retired my ahab because it always gave me greif, haven't inked it up for awhile

you should take a pic of your whoel collection one day

i'd love to see it

it's getting a bit out of hand!

yeah, i drew with the ahab recently, but i just can't get into that pen either, i have to push it really hard for the flex

i have a sailor pen too, i think 45 degree angle? which is cool sometimes, but i don't use it much

that was my most recent doodle with my cursive italic nib

i mean, it's a bit extra to get it done, and you have to hold the nib right to get the sweet spot

when writing at any rate

that pen is soooo pretty

but i can get these super fine lines. the other pen like this with silver accents is on sale from the guy that does the mods, which i think are 55 dollars?

and you can set it up so it writes with light writing

did you paint those broad strokes with a brush?

Platinum 3776 Century Nice Pur Limited Edition Fountain Pen

i did washes with a watercolor brush, all the lines are done in pen

i'll have to take a picture of the line comparison

ughhhhhhhhhh i love pens

I like the green.

your inks are always so pretty too

thanks, i have too many. i'm trying to just use what i have, but i always want to try another color.

boyo: thanks

i think at some point the pen collector guilt of not using all your pens sets in

yeah, currently i use most of my pens, minus a lamy and an ahab. I had two lamys and I gave one away

there's the whole collection NylonPinkney
