slim pens

I was just wondering can anyone suggest some thinner pens. I am tired of the thicker brands.

How thin? Like the Cross Century II? Or perhaps something like the Sheaffer Agio?

I have a Pilot Cavelier in F point made in Japan that I want to sell because I don't use it. It's thin almost like a pencil thin but of course heavier than a pencil. Contact me if interested.

Parker Duofold Internationals are pretty slim. It's about the same as a Pelikan M400.

 

If you wanna go real slim, I have an 1970s or 80s Dunhill that's about the same as a Bic.

 

Good luck in your search, it's very refreshing to use a slimmer pen for a different perspective.

Just to add: the S.T. Dupont 'Classique' line is slim and long.

 

If you want a cheapo, too: Lamy has several slim pens with steel nibs. And the 'cp1' can be posted, because the cap is as wide as the barrel. It makes a slim, straight, long, black stick.

Watermans from the 1980s-90s are pretty slim. For ex)

Waterman Exclusive. Two of these would make good chopsticks.

Waterman 200 is wider, but still slender by today's standards.

I have an old-style ('80s) MB Noblesse that's very sleek and slim, almost too much so for my hands.

Waterman 12 Eyedroppers from 1900 - 1930s are all only slightly wider than a Bic disposable ballpoint. In fact, you can use bic caps on them in a pinch. :rolleyes:

So if you have a lot of ink,

You should get a Yink, I think.

Sheaffer's slim Targa pens are very well made. I have a couple of them and am completely satisfied. Difficult to find cartridges any more however the converters hold quite a bit of ink -- surprisingly much ink for a pen which is that thin. These are well thought-out pens and the workmanship is hard to beat, especially for the price.

Rotring Esprit FPs are slim, elegantly slim ^_^

Well, now you went and did it. I haven't liked the look of any of the Rotrings I've seen. Until now.

What do you mean? :doh: :blush:

How about a Parker 180? Very slim pen and a double side nib to boot.

 

The are about and do come up on eBay not infrequently. Can be a bit pricey though, but all in all a different pen choice.

      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
