Interests
Vintage fountain pen collector & restorer.
Recently started designing and making my own"Fountainbel" fountain pens. All parts are machined from barstock in my shop, only the nib is bought
Active member of the "Fountain pen Network", under nickname "fountainbel".
Designed and made several fountainpen repair tools, used by several proffesional FP repairers
Other Hobbies
Collecting " vintage" folding knives & pen knives.
I have a collection of t least 500 vintage folding/pen knives.
I must admit my interest for knives somewhat faded since I started in the fountain pen world. This really takes alot of my time.
Joining this excellent board may surely revive my interest !
