Pilot VP M (LE 2009) that I just scored in France, and paid I'm sure too much money for, but I'm really tickled with the color. It looks orange in the picture but it's really bright red. Inked with J. Herbin 1670. I just love my VP's - they are so smooth, and reliable! Unlike some more expensive pens (Visconti, cough cough) which I always seem to have problems with.

 

Stipula Titanium Nib F in Malachite, inked with Noodler's Gruene Cactus. A very nice writer!

 

Nakaya Long Size Cigar, F nib, reddish red, inked with J. Herbin 1670 (love that ink!). this is also a great writer but boy that F nib is really FINE - may have to swap it out for a M or B.

 

Faber Castell Ondoro in orange, M nib, also a GREAT writer! Inked with Pilot Iroshizuku Tsukushi - Horsetail. This is also a great writer!

 

I don't have any Lamy's inked at the moment, for some reason, but I really love my Lamy 2000 and Lamy Studio.

I bought another Parker 45 because it was very cheap. It was shipped from

Croatia, by air mail. Condition is excellent. It arrived with a 3/4 full

Parker cartridge installed. There was no ink in the cap and no sign of stray

ink anywhere. I am using this pen because it is inked and I always carry

a Parker 45 in my pocket, even when traveling.

 

None of my Parker 45's has ever leaked in airline travel.

I took my Visconti's to a nibmeister today and he fixed both - one was "baby bottom" and the other was a bent nib. Now both write reliably. So I take back what I said about Visconti's!

Parker 95 with Diamine Kelly Green. Actually, today when I was out for lunch, the waitress' pen stopped writing, so I offered her mine. :)

For what they cost they should come adjusted.

I've recently begun to get into the hobby, and I've found two pens that I really like so far.

 

First is my black and gold Parker I.M with a fine nib. I like the looks of it and how it writes, but I really don't like the color of Parker's black ink cartridges, they are too blueish for me. When I switched to black Lamy cartridges however, all my issues were gone, and now I love it. I use it when I want to look a bit more classy.

 

Secondly is my NK limited edition Lamy Safari. I would like to post a picture of it, but I don't have a camera nearby. It's basically all red, including the clip and it writes wonderfully. The Lamy ink dries quickly and has a nice red-tone in it which I like, and I like how lightweight it is; it definitely is my everyday pen.

 

Other than that, I'm using a Parker Urban ballpoint as a back-up. It's just that I absolutely loath ballpoints, and I experiment with using gel-refills in it. I've found that Moleskine pen-refills work quite well, even though they tend to dry out for me.

 

Anybody have any suggestions for nice pens for a new convert? :ltcapd:

My Pilot VP - it makes for a lovely sketch pen to carry with me when I visit the marsh near my place

which I did just today - got to watch the beaver play.

Montblanc 144 fine, Esterbrook SJ in green with MB 144 medium nib. No sense letting a good nib go to waste.

      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
