Being a penofile.......a guy that likes pens. This short little video is accurate, but it does leave one thing out.
The chinese made pens still suck. They don't last the life of the pen, think use all the ink in the pen. Big deal who uses all of a pen, they are lost or something long before then. Well when you don't have them everywhere, you do.
The western companies still insist in using their own domestically made pen "tips" The chinese ones are not smooth and will "blob" out the ink. The inks are not that great as well.
Personally I am on a pen kick using 180 year old technology.
My current daily All Brass, fits in the pocket real easy. I get a couple weeks out of it between refills. Fountain pens are just something special. I can't write with a ball point of any kind anymore, they just feel so horrid. With this it is a pleasure to write. And penmanship is a lost art that is coming back. Not that it was ever great in the first place.
