Today, Parker 100 Silver. Great Pen!

A burgundy Parker "51" filled with Aurora Black and a "seal patterned" Sheaffer Intrigue filled with Diamine Presidential Blue.

1. 'Matte Black' Parker Arrow, with Parker Penman Ruby ink, F nib. I used to dislike the Ruby ink, but now of course I love it.

2. 'White Honey' Pelikan M400, with J Herbin Vert Olive ink, EF nib.

The Arrow is a student pen, and a tad slim for my liking, but it has one great nib.

Black Parker 51 Aero with Quink Blue-Black...

What do you guys DO with all of those pens??? I mean, I might be able to justify two a day, since I do occasionally carry one that's a good writer, and one with a good flex for the signature...but that's about it...I'd love to hear what you guys use them all for.

Two Cheapies! Always cheapies. I hate the thought of losing a good one. I have had a beautiful green snakeskin Monogram lever filler in my pocket for two months. I love the way it writes but it drops ink. I have hopes that I solved the problem today with a new feed. I have also started carrying a Wearever bullet pen. Gets lots of comments and writes like a dream with a great bold script! Tackyrama

Today's pens are a burgundy Sheaffer TD Imperial, medium nib, Waterman Florida Blue, a cordovan brown vac 51 with the same, and a first year burgundy Sheaffer Snorkel Sentinel with, you guessed it, the same. Not planned to all have WM FB - just worked out that way.

Today it was my Danitrio .

I am using my new Namiki Carbonesque Blue Vanishing Point. It is filled with a blue cartridge that came with the pen. I couldn't wait to go home and fill it with Noodlers, so I am using a cartridge for the first time.

I just got my Navy Centennial Pinstripe Duofold back from a nib exchange that took 6 weeks - they had to send it to the UK - so that's been what I've been using all day, thought I did carry my Aurora 88 as a backup, and of course the VP and loaner vector I almost always carry.

The primary was my Black Senior Duofold Streamline with Quink Blue Black, and my parker "51 Aero with Quink Black...oh, and my Hero 100 flighter with Waterman Havana...

Lamy Accent, M nib, mix of blue-black inks.
Wality 77c, Asian M nib, mix of blue-black inks
Hero 100, F nib, mix of blue-black inks.
Senator, M nib, Waterman's Havana brown ink.

I'm trying to reduce to one blue-black inked pen at a time instead of having a half-dozen on my desk. I want to spend a week or 10 days with each pen and really get to know them. I discovered this was a good idea when I used only a Monteverde Sonata for a few days before taking it as my sole pen on a trip to Boston.

Tomorrow is another day...

Today was a Parker Big red I picked up recently on eBay. Really stiff, fine lined nib...not sure if I like the nib yet, especially considering my "51" lays down a wider line...lol. Little smoothing on brown paper, and some minute adjustment of the tines, and while it's still a fine line, it's also a lot wetter, and more consistent. I might be sending Richards way eventually...mmm, a stub

Sailor Cisele - Noodler's Zhivago
Pilot Decimo - just got it last week, so it has Waterman BB inside to prime it.
Parker Duofold International - brought out to try the Penman Emerald carts I've just received from KCat. 9 (This pen will have to go for a nibswap though, the Fine is just a tad too broad for my liking)

Dawn

I am working on reducing the number of pens I have inked. My method is to use a pen exclusively until it runs out. This is the pen I'm pulling from rotation and therefore is the"pen of the day" until it runs dry:



The nib and cap says "Silver Eagle" and the cap is stamped "sterling" It's a cartridge/converter pen. Does anyone know anything about this pen?

I don't know anything about your Silver Eagle, sorry. Pretty pen!

I have bowed to the inevitable, at least for the time being, and I'm now carrying (in addition to the "51") a ballpoint for signing those %^@$#! thermal credit-card receipts that clog my fountain pens. But it's not just any ballpoint, it's an Eversharp CA that I have converted to use Parker refills, and I have a gel refill in it:

Today I'm carrying my Aurora 88 filled with Sheaffer Black, My Navy Pinstripe Duofold filled with Parker Black, and a VP filled with Private Reserve Burgandy Mist. That's a nice ballpoint Richard (if you have to carry a ballpoint, that is ).
