Just got my second resin Pilot Falcon (SF and SEF)

I have 2 Pilot Decimos (F and M)

I just ordered a second Pilot Prera which was irresistibly inexpensive on Amazon with Prime shipping

I have two plastic Falcons, three 78Gs, and four Metropolitans. Guess which Japanese company I prefer.

Several 742s with different nibs, several Birdies, nearly all the colors of 3776 celluloid and briar varieties, one in each color of the elite 95 etc. I eventually buy multiple examples of any pen that I happen to like.

I have a Vanishing Point in Raden Galaxy that stays in my house and a Vanishing Point in yellow that goes out and about with me. That pen has a weight and grip that seems to have been made just for me.

Sailor 1911 with Nagahara specialty nibs. Unique!

Pilot Vanishing Point (I have both a plain blue one and a Raden Water Surface, which is exquisite)

Pilot Custom series (74, 823; amazing writers out of the box)

These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives everything its value.--Thomas Paine, "The American Crisis", 1776

3 VP Decimos, XF, F, and custom CI 0.4mm Binderized. I've been debating a 0.4mm oblique.... but that would mean I either need a 4th or make the jump to Nakaya (grail pen).

A penny for the old guy.

Pilot Custom 845 Urushi ... for some long-forgotten reason I swopped the first and regretted doing so,

I've been really tempted to get more 3776 colors myself, especially the cellulloid ones. The 3776 is such an amazing pen.

My oldest friend was going through a rough time and I let him choose any of my pens for a gift. He chose my 3776 with music nib after trying them all.

I missed it so badly, I bought another, this time through the FPN classifieds.

That pen is my workhorse.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
