Keeping a fountain pen with a journal
Fountain pens create unusual constraints: larger barrels, valuable finishes, cap hardware, and more concern about scratches or loss.
Research boundary: Existing products already solve much of this category. This page documents tradeoffs and an unverified narrow hypothesis.
What to check
- Barrel diameters vary widely.
- Some finishes show abrasion easily.
- A heavy pen places more load on a cover clip.
- Pocket clips differ in strength and geometry.
