Hopefully you didn't buy it from Ea Nasir.

    I would have guessed more. It's a fantastic looking pen.

    For a pen...

    A tube that holds ink.

    An item which we've known how to make for centuries and which is mass produced.

    At minimum wage in Germany that's 29 hours of work, for a pen. Granted a pretty pen, but still just a pen.

    Y'all are crazy.

    Do you not have any hobbies that you might want to spend a bit more on if you could? Maybe as a reward for surviving something particularly grueling? That's what it is for me, and for you to call me crazy as a result would be pretty insulting if it wasn't coming from some random on the internet.

    The best nibs are on 3776s. What nib size?

    No, that's just the name of the ink.

    It's a popular ink, IIRC from Goulet Pen's list-by-popularity.

    goes to look

    https://www.gouletpens.com/collections/all-ink

    Yeah, on the first page, #8 best-selling, and #1 is "send me a random ink sample", so I'm not sure that that should count; probably should be #7.

    I think I have some sitting around myself, but haven't gotten around to trying it.

    EDIT: Actually, that's probably not the best ranking to use, since that includes sample vials, and most people getting sample vials are probably just trying it, not necessarily set on using a bunch of it.

    But on the list of bottled ink sales, it's #18, which is still pretty high:
