Acrylic.... interesting... I've only got one fountain pen that I've had for
about 23 years. The problem I ran into is that, since so much of my life is
done electronically now, the ink in the nib was constantly drying out and
thus the pen wouldn't write when I needed it. As such I retired the pen. I
mostly use an old fashion wooden pencil--Dixon Ticonderoga--when I need to
write something down. Funny thing is I probably use more pencils up in my
shop than I do writing. LOL

Post a photo of your marking knife holder when it's done. Me, I'll need a
double... left and right bevel knives!
