@penfount Is, “my pen roll has more space” a valid justification for buying more pens?

@wiersdorf @penfount I know nothing yet even I know the answer to that is a resounding yes!

@wiersdorf @penfount Yes. Also, my pen roll is out of space is a valid justification for buying another pen roll.

@penfount If I buy just a nib I like (the Naginata) will it fit on any pen I own, either fountain or dip, or must I buy a corresponding pen for it?

(I like the nib, but not the pens it comes on!)

@bougiewonderland it will probably work on a dip pen as most nib holders will happily take nibs in a range of diameters. But not a fountain pen— it must match the diameter and shape of the feed and section. So no, a particular nib won’t work on any fountain pen, it will only work on the pen it was designed for and ones that are similar enough to it.
