All Pelikan All The Time


Onion

Recommended Posts

Since I received my Pelikan 200 grey swirl, that is the only pen I have used. I open my pen case and I ALWAYS reach for the 200. I look at my 51 and my VP and my snorkels and Watermans, even the 215 and the 100, but the Pelikan 200 seems to just fly into my hand.

Maybe I have found the perfect pen for me? I may be selling off some pens soon.

I just bought a M200 Clear Demonstrator myself... very nice! I love to see the Brilliant Brown ink swirling in the crystal clear barrel. :) I did have a problem with the nib, but that is being sorted.

 

I also have the M400 which is the same size, and I must admit, the shape of these pens is made for my hand... :D

 

Yay Pelikan!

I suspect that in a short while, just like the rest of us, you'll discover yet another "perfect" pen. Then another and another.... There's no end to this story! :roflmho:

don't sell those others just yet.

 

but as everyone knows, I'm a Pelikan nut. so 9 times outta 10 that's my pen of choice. Still, it's nice to know that if I do get a bit bored with a Pelikan, i have two great VPs and a few other nice pens to use until i fall off the wagon again and go back to my Pels.

      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
