It writes nicely. It still needs a little breaking in for the ink to really flow, I guess there i still a bit of dried ink in the tip.
I believe a few days of use would do it.

My GF and I went to a small local "car trunk" market this morning:
Mint condition Danish produced Parker Duofold set from the 50s or 60s. More here
60s British made Gillette Tech with alu handle.

My GF and I went to a small local "car trunk" market. It is hit and miss with these small markets; sometimes there is only junk and sometimes you are lucky finding something really nice for very little money. This time I was lucky:
A 50s og 60s (?) Danish made Parker Duofold...
He did. It is always nice when a cutler is skilled in leatherworking aswell.
My pics. really doesn't do the knife justice, I will try to take some better ones later today.

I got another custom knife today, a bowie/fighter with whalebone coffin shaped handle and tooled leather sheath:
The blade is 22 cm long and the overall lenght of the knife is 35 cm. It's a rather hefty one.
The knife is made by my good friend Jens Jørgen Schiermer...

Thanks. It is really nice. The only thing I do not like about it is the fact that the point is "extra fine", it is very hard to write with. But I think it would be a shame to have it changed.
I have asked the seller that is currentlt restoring my farthers Parker 51 and Liberty to put this...
I got a nice 40s Omega two tone in the mail today. Nothing special, except from the fact that it is a very early automatic:

My pic
The dial has some patina; the logo is not very clear and there is some damage around the hole for the hands, but all in all it is rather...
The light is not good for photographing tonight, but I managed to snap these two pics of my vintage Parker Duofold and my Mont Blanc Hommage Á Frédéric Chopin:
More pens are on their way :D
