    Default Ahoy

    New member here from HNL. Started out with a Metropolitan to work on my penmanship, as therapy for a head injury sustained a while back. Still have a lo-n-g lo-n-g way to go, but have improved enough to treat myself to a MB 146G.

    Have caught the bug and have a couple more pens on the wishlist.

    Thanks! HNL is the code for Honolulu airport. Sometimes I think of this as a place people fly to.

    Aye. Experience with a 1.0 italic nib on my Metropolitan, has led to considering sending the No.146 out for a regrind.

    Welcome. Have you ever had to explain that Hawaii is an island? I had the oddest conversation with a postal worker once....

    Not after my five years with Uncle Sam!

    I've been busy. :O) There is now a Nakaya Portable Writer on order. The MB 146 and a new Lamy 2000 are in transit to a nibmeister.
