I made a fountain pen for my wife a while back. Now that she's used it for a while, she has a couple complaints. I'd like to make another one, but I'm having trouble picking out the right kit.
Cartridge size: She wants to stick with a cartridge, but would like something larger than the tiny cartridges most of the kits use. Parker makes a larger refill that she likes, but I haven't found any kits that will take the Parker cartridge.
Slimmer size: Most of the fountain pen kits tend to be chunky. She'd prefer something on the smaller side that's easier for her to hold.
The best answer is probably to jump in the deep end of kitless pens and make something custom for her, but I've got a lot of other projects in the queue right now, so if there's a suitable kit out there, it will get done a lot faster.
Any recommendations are appreciated. Thanks!
