Episode 18: Fountain Pen Terminology

<p>Do you ever feel lost talking about fountain pens? Whether you&#39;re brand new to this hobby, or are a seasoned user who&#39;s simply never explored topics such as pen repair and nib customization, it&#39;s easy to get overwhelmed by all the different terms and expressions people use. For this episode we thought it would be fun to talk through the different parts of the pen and a basic overview of how a fountain pen functions. Future episodes will revisit terminology and discuss things like pen problems, nib modifications, and more! We also share some last-minute details on the On The Paper Trail Live event coming up this weekend in Nashville. </p><p>Please note that in this episode, we walk through the parts of a fountain pen and a fountain pen nib.
