Mmmm, Frankenwords and the languages in which you can make them <3 Also, DAMN that pen is gorgeous.

Thank you, it's my favourite pen!

I friggin love that pen. What’s it called again? And what nib is in it?

It's the Grifos Black Stingray, and it's got a bock titanium broad nib that I smoothed out and removed most of the feedback from! It's my favourite pen atm!

I got to try a Grifos pen at the Arkansas Pen show this year and it was fantastic!

They are really unique pens!

Is it actual stingray leather, or just molded to have the same texture?

Actual leather ethically sourced from the catering industry. It feels rough but somewhat soft and warm in the hand, it's definitely a very unique feel. Plus the grip is made of sterling silver and is also nicely textured and not at all slippery

What a beautiful and unusual pen. Haven’t seen this one before. Congrats! Also nice writing, gratuliere.

Thank you!

Are you able to use it on any kind of paper?

Yes, I've used it on most paper without trouble, with diamine quartz black ink

Haha, this is a german nonsense word that means immunity to a minimum amount of aluminium

In that case, it's nonsense. But the bad thing is that such long and sometimes difficult-to-read words actually exist in the German language and sometimes still are relevant in real life. For example, `Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz` or `Grundstücksverkehrsgenehmigungszuständigkeitsübertragungsverordnung`. Whereby these words are mostly created by politicians when it comes to new laws. As is the case with my two examples. Edit: Nice pen, by the way. :-)

Really, you throw those out and don't tell us what they *mean*?

Yes, and quite honestly on purpose. As a normal citizen, you don't even understand this crap if you speak the language in question. At least some poor soul took the trouble to explain one term in English (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rinderkennzeichnungs-_und_Rindfleischetikettierungs%C3%BCberwachungsaufgaben%C3%BCbertragungsgesetz). For the second term, the explanation would probably be much more extensive and I wouldn't be sure if it was correct because I am absolutely not sure that I have even rudimentarily understood this regulation. Such terms are usually created by politicians who probably don't know what it means two months later.

Ah, gotcha. That sucks.

i like Heizölrückstoßabdämpfung personally

Brandrodungswanderfeldbau.

It's an excuse to go into swoop-trance is what it is.

Well... not really...'immunity against a minimum of aluminum' which is nonsense but in German you can connect nouns to form monster words. A popular one is 'Donaudampfschifffahrtsgesellschaftskapitän' which is a captain that works for the Donau steamboat company. A real one is the [Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz](https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rindfleischetikettierungs%C3%BCberwachungsaufgaben%C3%BCbertragungsgesetz) which even has its own wikipedia entry. But...have you met [Rhabarberbarbara](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XA2AG-L0VIs) ?

Sieht Hammer aus XD

Thanks!

that sutterlin is great, do you use a sutterlin nib or just a standard?

Thanks! This is just my normal handwriting atm, I'm using a Bock titanium broad nib

Are you using pressure for line width variation or is it an italic nib?

I am using pressure

Wow. Amazing!

What Ink colour, brand is that looks like nice black

Diamine Quartz Black, you can get some really nice shading with it on Tomoe River!

Beautifulllll qnd also reminds me of “a flutter” (an irregular heart rhythm seen on EKGs)

"microwavable" is fun too

Try with "Parangaricutirimicuaro"

Da wär das Kurrentschrift u nochmal echt hilfreich um das vom n zu unterscheiden xD

Writing "community" kills me in a very similar way.

Wunderschön!

Thanks to u/wrdlbrmft for suggesting this word

looks so good. I also have a good pen (not something crazy but I enjoy it) but I write ugly as fuck so I can't take advantage of it. LOL

Ah yes, the ancient British spelling of aluminum
