Haha but with a wedding to save up for I've been very good with not spending uselessly.

For a very inexpensive, but very usable pen something from Noodlers would be a good suggestion. Their pens start at $14 and work very well. Goulet Pens carries them. TWSBI pens are highly recommended too at about $50

Sweet. ordered this starter pen:

Amazon.com: Noodlers Ink Fountain Pen, Piston Fill, Turquoise: Office Products

with some black ink....

Can't wait to play with it.

I've always had excellent cursive writing abilities (and my printing is pretty top notch ,too!), but when it comes to carrying a pen around with you, fountain pens can be a real mess sometimes. In lieu of the mess I simply reach for... (literally reaches for the pen I'm talking about, as I have forgotten the specific moel number) ...I reach for my...Piilot Hi-Tecpoint V7 Fine in black.

Great pen.

Before this thread winds up ponder the reason a
pen knife is called a pen knife.

Many of us have hones to properly tune up the edge
now we need a goose quill.

I love Noodlers Ink, of the 10 bottles I have 8 are noodlers I haven't found a good pen shop anywhere near as good as I found in Berkely CA, but what can one expect in Central CA...

I see at the golden nib, that they sell pen nibs in 14k. Would one of these fit on my Noodler??

A few years ago I wanted a pen knife, to make quill pens, and it was really hard to find one that was still called that. I Googled "pen knife" and most of the hits were for X-acto products or gimmicky self-defense gadgets disguised as pens.

But it was Google that found instructions for the making. So modern life has some benefits.

I'm not familier with that pen, but most nibs are made for a spacific pen. They tend to be the big name pens and cost quite a bit.

Bad JUJU... Found a place that has MANY pens and Inks... a few blocks from the house... Lucky the sales people where pushy enough to bug the heck out of me so that may help keep me out of there (most of the time...)
