Hi Folks,

 

Which fountain pen you find masculine.

 

My Visconti HM is very masculine and MB149, and the Pelikan M800 green srtripe.

 

Are there anymore that you find to be masculine and or feminine pen.

 

What are yours.

Masculine: TWSBI Micarta. They use Micarta for knife handles. And I'm not talking about kitchen knives.

 

Feminine: Nakaya Desk Pen. Very elegant without looking fancy. I see Audrey Hepburn when I look at this pen.

Experience is a hard teacher. She gives the test first, the lesson afterwards.

Its not mine and I don't think it looks that good, but it is a Harley Davidson pen, and that is supposed to be quite manly, I think! :hmm1:

 

Second thought though... who here has seen a Harley rider writing with a fountain pen? :roflmho:

The Parker 45 has been used by United States Marines at war.

 

The Big Red Parker Duofold Senior. General Douglas MacArthur used one, aboard

the battleship, USS Missouri, to sign the instrument of surrender, ending WWII.

What's more masculine than winning a world war?

(The pen belonged to his wife.)

 

I dream of the day, when fountain pens of all different shapes, sizes, patterns,

and colors, can intermingle without judging. :rolleyes:

Aurora Talentums are probably the most masculine pens I own. Especially the Black/Chrome

As to feminine probably my Sailor Sapporo Lame Purple/Rhodium (Lame = Sparkly)

A masculine design that springs to mind is the Lamy 2000 but in general I associate masculinity with big size (that's my wife's fault; she started it). As for the PFM, it would be quite masculine if it weren't on the short side and unfortunately named (don't you think there is a campness about it?).

I have a Parker 51 that was owned by a gentleman who was young Lt. in the USMC during the Korean War. He carried it throughout his deployment in the cold, very harsh conditions of the Korean winter. That pen was in the Battle of Choisan Reservoir- the original owner was one of the "Frozen Choisan".

In my mind, therefore, that pen, blue Parker 51 is a warrior's pen, cant beat that.

When I was given that pen, all it needed was a sac replacement, and a thorough cleaning and polishing, and I treasure it.

Of all the words that could be used to describe this monstr...er...pen, masculine would be way down my list. :P

LOL, Andy - my sister and brother-in-law are Harley enthusiasts and I recently gave her this pen. She loves it and has described it as beautiful. She's particularly feminine and I don't think she sees herself as using a man's pen.

 

I was given a Parker Lady Insignia 12kt rolled gold pen because it had come with my initials engraved on it. I don't see it as particularly feminine, just smaller than my other pens, and it writes like a dream. Pen owners have gender, not the pens themselves.

Lamy 2000 - and for a particular type of masculine man: the Randian. I can just see Roark or Rearden pulling this out sign a contract.

 

Along with a M149, just because of the association with successful businessmen.

You can't blame THIS on testosterone. Standing too close to the microwave, maybe, but not testosterone . . .

That is not masculine... that is goth... for teenage goth kids... who can't effort them...

 

Can't believe montegrappa degraded itself to this level...

      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
