Indeed . . . and, truth be told, I likely would've ponied up another $20.
Right.
So call it even, forget about a few extra bucks one way or the other (over the life of the pen, or you, whichever comes first, that works out to much less than a penny a day) and just ink up that puppy and enjoy!!
Cant wait till you get that, sailor makes great pens, I know both Andy and Ian LOVE the NT nibs and im m sure to count you among them once you get yours
... and when is YOURS arriving, Syn?
Its on a very short list once the tax return comes in,... but Jim road blocked a few things with that other project of his lol, I got a way higher then expected return this year so we will see
Im feeling that vanishing point.....

Yesterday I received notice that my pen has shipped, so I'm pretty jazzed about that. I'm confident that I'll become another fan of the naginata togi nib, syngent, based on what I've read about it. Doc4's recommendation is what prompted me to research it, and from there it was but a short leap to purchasing the Sailor. By way of explanation, a couple of years ago I was shopping for a watch to give my son for his birthday. I wanted a good quality, nice-looking, but not stupidly expensive, watch. While scanning several "help me pick my next watch" threads in the Haberdashery, I came upon a post by Doc4 recommending Orient Star watches from Japan. I checked them out, ordered one and the watch exceeded my expectations by far. My point? One should always heed advice offered by one having the capability both to be square and there simultaneously.
Me, too! Although I really want to try one in hand before buying; the location of the clip gives me pause. But if the clip isn't an issue, the Pilot Vanishing Point very well may be my next pen.
Basically you should stop listening to Ian. His advice gets you broke quicker than a "gentleman's" club on bourbon st today.

Oh, I've no allusions otherwise, Jessy-- but you must concede that he does it with panache!
He can do it with a pancake, for all I care! We'll still all be broke!

More likely a crepe.

My Sailor Pro-Gear (Medium-Fine 21K gold/rhodium naginata togi nib) arrived. It's a stunner (albeit subdued) and writes like a dream. I don't think I could be happier with my choice. I'll post a couple of photos in the Acquisitions thread.
Thanks again to everyone for your recommendations!
