I love my Lamt Studios!

I got that exact same pen few weeks ago and i am amazed by it. It is such a good writer. Smooth, nice, awesome. Just looking up some reviews on what other think about it. I got mine in EF, still have an F in black gold in my eye, also a A1. And i was also looking up the A2, but not sure if i will like the acrylic pen instead a metal one. But in overal is one of my favorite knock off pen purchases lately. Just closely followed by my hongdian M2

I bought my first A1 earlier today and may be getting an A2 before it’s over, but Doodle mentioned he primes the feed by reserving a few drops from the syringe fill and plopping them into the top of the feed (where the the cart/conv inserts). Could be a useful tip on a lot of pens - my Muji took forEVER to ink up with the cart as well.

About art pen there has different after year. 1998 and before 1998 models. Before 1998 models is made in Germany. But latest models are made in UK or other country. So using feel is much different. Old models nib is same as MontBlanc junior 622. No ink skipping at all

Interesting though irritating pen design :) These kinds of nibs are usually hooded in certain fountain pens though I have an excellent (yet ugly) Polish fountain/technical pen Toma 504 which also uses such a nib as an open type.

I have one. It's thin, like a regular ballpoint pen, and I love it. It's cheap, but the look and feel are great.

I love noodler's Walnut! I have it in a indigo twisbe with the bronze trim. Thank you for the video!

For those saying about getting a complete fill by gently pushing the air out, an easier (and cleaner) way is to use a travelling ink well such as the Pineider ink well, and use it to fill inverted. Two cycles of the piston and you’ve got a very full pen!!

I was so excited for my Kaweco sport, but it just fell short compared to my Hongdian M2. Also just bought a v126 tonight, gets here tomorrow. Excited to give it a go, my first vac filler.

I LOVE the M2, its one of my favorites I own, but not currently in my rotation

That clip is dead sexy.

The name of the ink relates to the colour of the ink that the Comendatore used to have on his pen. Eccentric, he used that colour (some sort of purple) every time he signed a document or wrote a letter. I enjoyed the review. Congrats.

I've bought Kaweco for years. I recently got one that no cartridge could fit in, so I'm looking around for another brand. Thank you.

Weird but in some weird way also innovative 👍lol.

It pens like a champ AND it’s hilarious?! I need to put one on my wishlist.

Hi Stephen, is there an email that I can get in touch with you? Thanks!

Hey, that case isn’t shaped like a lozenge, it shaped like a suppository!

I got one in the frosted black. Mine is in a fine nib and writes very well. I have enjoyed it so much that I ordered another one in frosted clear to be it’s mate. 😁😇

A drawing with cats, that's really nice. My weird favorite pen is the Pilot Petit 1. Happy 2025!

Is it really weird, or is is just different?? I don't think it is any more weird than say a Nahvalur Eclipse, a Lamy Dialog/Dialog cc, or any number of other retractable pens. It is a Chinese design that uses a standard Chinese 3.4 mm cartridge which is larger opening than the International Standard Short/Long cartridges. It is simply a fountain pen than can be used for art, note taking, journaling, whatever. I have had one since June, and it has been a solid consistent before right out of the packaging. I've gone weeks without writing with it, and it has never dried out once!! I don't think the designers had intended the trapdoor to be used as some sort of support as you would mess up it's ability to seal properly. So, your on the hunt for unusual pens?? That is such a broad category that needs to be better broken down such as unusual in size, materials used to make the pen, filling mechanisms, etc....

A similar pen with the same contraption reminds me of an "India ink fountain pen." Those were a thing, but the one you have might not be it. The India ink ones had a "water reserve" inside the hidden nib area to prevent ink for drying and ruining the feed. Your pen looks like a regular ink version meant for art or calligraphy. Take my speculative comment with a hint of salt. I do like utilitarian fountain pens, especially if they perform better than expected.

I have tried many of the “copycat” retractable pens and I found that all of them dry out and I have to constantly wet the nib and it is very annoying. I don’t know if the original Pilot, platinum retractable work any better..

For me personally, a good pen is one that writes and a useful pen is one I carry. I have a bullet proof brass pen that writes and travels but it lacks something, I dunno, THAT CLICK! As some of us age we find what makes a successful friendship and that obviates the need for projecting a need for friends without pause. If you know what you want, you can find it. Artists already know that. Good video and advice.

A similar pen - without a trap door hanging on the side - that astonished me with its smootness and readiness to write any time is the OASO K016. And it is cheap too! Less than $10.

Good video I like the drawing a lot.

That thing draws great! That makes it a good pen by definition. Not for me because: a) that trap door hanging on the side is TOO distracting and stupid, and: b) why would I draw with a click pen? Click pens are for taking notes.

Strange but cool

could you not just dip the converter into the ink and suck it up? works great for me.

Its a cheap Pilot Custom 823 without the gold nib

I have the full range of Lamy safari nibs from EF to 1.9. Silver and black (where available), as well as a few LX nibs and Aion nibs. There is some inconsistency in the nibs. I’ve seen M that were great and ones that were awful. I will say that the LX nibs are a good upgrade on the safari. And they look cooler. You can’t go wrong with a Lamy. The Al-Star is the best in my book but I love the design of the Studio, Aion, and the 2000.

I just started using the 3.8 green one today and I'm liking it so far. I'm a noob to inking in general but it's an interesting experience so far. I thought the I would be changing the ink to something more waterproof but I'm liking the interactions with water and I'm going to give it a go for a while with this ink.

Btw, HAPPY 40th! It`s all downhill from here muahgahahhahaahah! 👹

I’ve heard - but not verified - that the Posca paint pens are pretty good, but idk. White’s always been a pain to work with. I’d suggest trying gesso or gouache, but since it’s wrapping paper I’m kinda stumped. It turned out well regardless :) Hope you had a lovely Christmas too, Stephen.

i like uniball signo for white marks. Store them flat for longest lasting use.

I love this Sailor Fude Pen and take it out with me when painting plein air. I actually have 3 with different colours as the pen comes in brown and white too! So I take inked pens in black, brown and yellow. Thanks

Hi Stephen, just watched the Dongdian video, I enjoyed it. Wanted to tell you that my pen is slightly different design, has a metal screw on both the outer ring and the inner ring of the barrel are both metail. I got a HONG DIAN Hongdian 8037 Chinese Classical Fountain Pen, Iridum Fine Gold long blade Nib with Chinese Deer Totem Design, Smooth Writing Pen with Ink Converter and Metal Pen Box Set Black. Enjoying the pen. I am new your page so looking forward to more videos.

Fun! Fun! Love the sketches & commentary: I don't even have a uterus 😂😂😂

Yikes. Nice idea but not sure how much time I can dedicate since I have about 5 extra minutes. Think I will be lazy and use stamps. Cute.

I can recommend Rohrer&Klingner Zeichentusche Weiß, the R&K India ink line (Zeichentusche) as well as their Ausziehtusche line is awesome. When coming to white fountain pen ink I didn’t find something better than De Atramentis Document White, which is not bad but has its limitations (not really opaque and tend to clog the pen).

Yes this is 2 cool. I will ignore it.

113 already! ;)

Merry Christmas!!! Love you're art!!!

Liked it!!!! 👍👍😊.

Loved this! My daughter is a college professor and she got married a couple months ago. Her husband is also in higher education. Their wedding theme was books, reading and libraries. It was so creative and meaningful to them both. That’s what your beautiful wrapping paper made me think of. Lovely!

You’re gonna hit more than 100 this time! Congrats and Happy Holidays.

Love the wrapping paper and the video! Thanks for continuing to be passionate and just doing your thing. Happy Holidays! :)

Stephen, thanks for all the great content this year. Thanks for Hongdien M2 review, I bought one for me and then bought one for my dad as well. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you and yours. Love the penguin, the bookshelf and the trees growing out of the books, that one is a full circle thought.

I use these along with the Wancher , which is the same pen fitted with a Fude nib . I find it a very nice setup . Have a good holiday

Bonjour, Merci pour la video. Quel est le meilleur stylo plume à pointe fude ? Merci

This pen jumps in and out of my cart all of the time. At some point I'll give in. I'm excited that Blick now sells them, since I always have a cart going at Blick!
