@professionaldilettante: What on earth is that? It looks like a druid's spell casting wand or something. With an attached fountain pen. :mellow:

 

I tend to think that masculine pens are generally larger, perhaps more monochrome, and without a lot of sweeping curves or frills (not that ladies can't or shouldn't use such pens!) The Noodler's Ahab might fit here.

Assume no affiliation to recommendations.

Freud would say all pens are masculine.

"I was cut off from the world. There was no one to confuse or torment me, and I was forced to become original." - Franz Joseph Haydn 1732 - 1809

Personally, I'm a huge fan of my VS bronze homo sapiens and my VS Carbon Dream...

 

I have a P51 that I need to restore...that's Mad Men era masculinity at its finest, IMO...

I'm surprised no one has mentioned this:

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...

 

Montegrappa? I would have otherwise thought that was a cheap Chinese pen.

That pen is probably the reason I would never own a Montegrappa

It is the prototype wagner power painter and is used for painting your house. J/K

Do not let old pens lay around in a drawer, get them working and give them to a new fountain pen user.

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

Pen owners have gender, not the pens themselves.

 

Really? Lady Sheaffer and Lady Patricia are not really ladies? Ewww... I am not touching them no more.... :sick:

To paraphrase the great doctor (or nutcase, take yer pick)- sometimes a pen is just a pen. :P

He did say, "Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar", that's right. I wonder if he was tired of the jokes? :roflmho:

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

 

Most of my Japanese kitchen knives have Micarta handles;)

 

Italian pens are feminine: Una penna stilografica. French and German pens are masculine: Un stylo à plume, ein Füllfederhalter. English, American, Japanese and Chinese pens have no gender.

I still like the lizards, the rest, not so.

 

As far as Masculine pens, Black PFM III or V any 'flighter' or stainless, Parker 51 or 45.

 

Feminine pens? There's a few aimed at the female gender, but truly? I have a Dantrio that's been described as a lipstick case...

 

I tend to look at ring tops as more Feminine, but I've seen Waterman's vest pen/pencil sets that were definitely NOT feminine!

Increase your IQ, use Linux AND a Fountain pen!!http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk11/79spitfire/Neko_animated.gif

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:

 

 

 

 

Well I rented a Harley at Bike week and did have a fountain pen in my jacket. A MB Mozart....though I have this very pen in all chrome in my collection and it is a good ol Waterman though a tad heavy for note taking a long writing session. :thumbup:

 

The Mozart looks feminine I know, but when I explain to people it is a simple cartridge fill, it has a threaded chance to post the cap so it does not fall off while in my hand and the barrel is not plastic/resin but steel so my dainty pen is a bit more durable as it bounces and gets moved around...I get a few folks agreeing that a biker or poet would be well served to be carrying this pen.

 

Remember it is not the size of the pen ....it is what you do with it that makes it manly.

Rob Maguire (Plse call me "M or Mags" like my friends do...)I use a Tablet, Apple Pencil and a fountain pen. Targas, Sailor, MB, Visconti, Aurora, vintage Parkers, all wonderful.

      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
