I am wondering of the concept of "acid free" ink is just to...

"Breaking-in Fountain Pens" - Truth or Fiction? by
morten
Some say that a new fountain pen nib will "adjust" to it's owner, i.e.
the nib will wear according the angle and pressure its owner employs,
and become smoother.

I'd be...

"grinding" glass dip pens? by
kcat
note: not talking about Ernst pens here.
I know the nib on a glass dip pen can be smoothed. What I don't know
(among many other things) is whether or not it can be shaped in a
similar fashion that metal nibs are shaped - essentially - I'd like to
see if I can turn a glass pen into a "stub" of...

This project was already great the first time around, but now it's even
better.
The whole book has been re-organized to make it more readable...

to the fire about cheap pens being made to write well and more
expensive pens made to look pretty...
I just received a Pelikan 75 (Pelikan GO!) pen today. Cost me $10.
Writes beautifully.
By contrast, my Pelikan 600, which cost...
