Hi all
Still very new to pen making but not new to pens, having arrived here via a VintagePen Collecting and restoration, I have noticed 2 things
1. The majority of custom/bespoke pens do not have a cap clip and do not post, why is this when just about every commercially produced pen has both.
Some would say having both is an important safety feature as a posted cap with clip is unlikely to roll off a desk and ruin an expensive nib.
Is it because most custom nibs used are not expensive and gold, so the desire to protect the nib is not so great
Am I missing something obvious here.
Like I said, just curious.
