What's Your Pelikan Everyday Writer

[liberto077]

My everyday writers are m600 fine m800 fine m1000 medium. And I always carry with me 2 m200.the demo.with a BB nib and a cafe creme with ef nib.

My everyday writting experience is with mine M800 fine nib, green stripe...

I am looking to order a spare nib for my M800 Extra fine, because of my handwritting style, The one I have is great, fine nib, but my handwritting is getting a lot bigger than usual, I prefer smaller....

 

My dream is M1000 green stripe with Extra fine nib....

Of my Pelikans, for everyday use, the M200 Marbled Green with a fine GP nib and Diamine Steel Blue ink is the one I turn to. Alongside it I have recently added a M200 Cafe Creme with an EF GP nib and Diamine Chocolate Brown ink. Both are excellent smooth "soft touch / delicate touch" writers and the Diamine inks seem to add that little extra smoothness. And they both look beautiful.

 

I also have a lovely black M600, with EF 14k nib and Pelikan Brilliant Green 4001 ink, which is used less often - mainly because of the green ink :-) . This pen was bought s/h and came with a 30ml bottle of the green - 90% full - this was the first, and only, bottle used with the pen!! I like the colour but it doesn't fit all situations, however the green stays until I finish the bottle. The nib is superb, also a light touch, though with a hint of soft "silky rasping" as it moves over the paper.

 

A Pentel P205 with 0.5 H lead (very old) and a Pentel A315 with 0.5 2B lead complete my most used writing objects

I have a lot of Pelikans (well, maybe not as many as some in this subforum!), but I see three that are constantly inked:

 

Pelikan M600 Blue Stripe (Post-2005): 14k Fine nib - currently inked with Pilot Iroshizuku Tsuki-Yo

 

Pelikan 400 Brown Tortoise (early 1950's): 14k KEF nib - currently inked with J. Herbin Lie de The

 

Pelikan M200 Blue Marbled (1997-2005): Steel M nib - currently inked with Parker Quink Permanent Blue Black

 

 

I keep the M200 in my coat/(bleep) (depending on the season) pocket 24/7 and use it whenever I need to take a quick note. I have my M600 in its original pearl leatherette envelope and use it for longer notetaking sessions and exams. I keep the 400 in a pen case with other pens, and it normally comes out when I have the time to sit down and write for a long time - journalling, letters, poetry...

My Pelikans that get to go out, carried in a shirt breast pocket, are my M620 City Series pens. I rotate the 5 that have 0.7mm CI nibs. I may also carry a M600 with a EF nib, for signing stuff.

 

At home, I am a bit more likely to use an M800. My TS is the one currently inked.

I have been using a 140 and a 100 lately. The 100 has a steel nib from the war time that's a double broad and it sort of sings when I use it. I have no idea why I like the 100 as much as I do but I just do!!!

[TMWeddle]

Currently it is my m805 Stressemann. I've been carrying it constantly since it arrived. Next week I may give it a rest.

Green striped M600 with f nib.

Black m800 with pf fine nib.

[Lam1]

I don't have many, and I use them all about the same. Currently, I'm using

 

M600 Green Striped (EF)

M805 Blue Striped (M)

M800 Browntortoise (EF)

 

but they will get out of rotation as soon as they run out of ink.

 

Actually there is one that I use less than my other pens, the M640 Mount Everest (M). I love it, but I think it is a bit too flashy to bring to the office and I only use it at home.

Three. A M800 in red. An M200 in Taupe. An M640 Sahara.

I'm almost always carrying my black m200 with medium nib (I had been using a fine but found it too scratchy).

[cnjackson]

Just have one--but I use it every day at work: M805 (black & silver trim)!

[Mr. Dante]

Used to be my M800 Red M. Then my M800 Black OM. Now it's my M800 Tortoise F. Looking forward to an M805 Stresemann EF.

M800 and a vintage 100

[VaN GoGh]

My daily Pelikan is M800 Blue Striped M nib with the Visconti Blue ink.

[Niagara Falls]

I use all my five striped M800's in monthly rotation.

[tacitus]

My daily writer is Pelikan 1931 white gold. Right one is original 110.

I read here or somewhere else that nowadays nickel cannot be used for alloy by regulation in Europe.

Thus, the body is rhodium-plated to look like "white" gold.

Is that right?

A M200 with a F nib and a 140 that has a modern M200 nib (F) that I modified myself in a F to M stub. This are used at home and in my pocket I have a M150 (W. Germany) with an F.

Lately, it's been an M101n Lizard with an extra-fine nib and Pelikan Blue-Black Ink. I also like to carry an M800 or M1000, but usually not all three.

My current EDC is the Pelikan M320 in ruby red and filled with Binder Burgundy. It's a lovely pen and beautiful writer (B nib). Works like a charm in my small hands.
