The T1 is Moonman's first piston filler fountain pen. It's also their first pen made from aluminum. Turns out the T1 is a very nice pen!

Since the experience turned out to be amusing, I thought I'd describe what it was like for me to receive a blackmail attempt via spam. The blackmailer did not get off to an auspicious start: the email was from "Anonymous Hacker". As opposed to....

Here I'm reviewing a great choice for book clubs and for discussion: The Good Sister by Gillian McAllister. It's a book about two sisters who suddenly find themselves divided by a tragedy. Martha's baby died while in the care of her sister, Becky....
The PenBBS 352 is a well-designed cartridge-converter pen offered in an attractive range of acrylics and sold at a reasonable price. Almost everything about the pen strikes a positive note. It's available with a new EF nib.
Remember the PenBBS 322? It came out last fall as a low-cost PenBBS offering. A slim pen, the 322 featured a #5 mini-fude nib (with a cool heart-shaped breather hole), less metal and was only available in transparent acrylic. This FPN review compa...

When writing a short story or other piece of fiction, it can be frustrating to feel "stuck" on something as simple as a character's name. This is especially true if you have to name some minor characters for whom no name has sprung to mind yet. ...

Moonman has released their own No. 6 nib - and it's a winner. It comes in the new Moonman M6, a medium-sized, cigar-shaped wooden pen.
To my mind, the Moonman M100 pen was a watershed. It put Chinese pens in a new league. Where PenBBS pens are clearly the product of people who know and love fountain pens, their strength is in the engineering, manufacture and huge range of materia...
Here's another under-the-radar Chinese pen well worth a look. The Natami Inception is a Platinum #3776 Century clone. And a very well made one. I've never treated myself to a Platinum #3776 Century - as much as the Chartres Blue appeals.

The PenBBS 456 is what the TWSBI Vac 700 could have been. Great size. Great weight. Great balance. This has got to be the best pen PenBBS makes right now.
The PenBBS 471 is like a little jewel - a bauble of sorts - at least when closed. Assembled for writing, it's as big as a PenBBS 355 and less than two grams lighter.
Attention fountain pen lovers. PenBBS is at it again. They've just rolled out another new pen. The new PenBBS 355 is interesting from a couple of angles:
Bulk Filling System Pen makers have been thinking about ways to make pens hold mor...

First things first. This pen works really well. It's an achievement in terms of design and functionality. The more I use and understand it, the more I appreciate what the Parker 45 accomplished. What? Parker? But this is a Moonman... More on t...
