I have a slight problem.

Well, I actually have two.. Make that three problems.

First, my self-control is currently lacking. This is evidenced by my recent order of the pen and ink on offer from WCS, as well as my order today for a Noodler's pen and LExington Grey ink.


Second, <strike>you guys</strike> we are a bad influence on everybody. (I'm not above being a bad influence, though, I've done my share of AD encouraging). See reason one for recent example.

Third, and probably the worst, is the fact that my budget is more limited than I want. I need to win the lottery, confound it!

Now, where did I put my Waterman....

fp's on a budget? go chinese!

I have a couple of Jinhao FPs that I brought from eBay for around AU$6 each, no problems with the quality.

How's the weight on these? I have determined that I like a heavier pen. I miss being able to steal SWMBO's Pelican, but I coudn't tell you what model it was. Hrm, I wonder if she knows where it is. I should ask.

My favorite is the X450, it is very heavy. Not sure on the exact weight but it feels twice the weight of the Parker Frontier that I have.

Domo Kun would want you to have a Japanese pen, but a Chinese pen will do.
Lots of people will tell you that the quality is there for a great price.
