Sorry,I just couldn't do 5k for a pen! I would do a Caran D'ache Ecridor Retro and a Pelikan M600. Then a river cruise in England or Ireland.

Play along and answer the question, which is what pen would you get if someone was only giving you $5k that could only be spent on a pen

I'd travel to Japan to get the Nakaya of my dreams <3 :roflmho:

 

And maybe a couple other Nakayas, to keep it company :lol:

 

These Nakayas seen to get a few mentions. Maybe its time I looked into why :hmm1:

Probably a MB Writers Edition of some sort - a Hemingway or Jules Verne.

Nervous? No, I'm just thinking...

Commission Lamy to make me a sage green 2000, and then add a unconditional lifetime warranty.

The sad moment when you actually have to explain what a fountain pen is to somebody.

The OP asked a simple question. My answer: A namiki emperor or MB limited editions. Go spend it and be happy.

It is quite amazing how many seem unable to enter into the fantasy proposed by the OP and seem unable to have a bit of a giggle over prices and some of the fabulously baroque proposals.

 

For my imaginary $5k pen I would find a NOS Lucite waterman 100 year pen with a monster nib, ink it up with bay state blue and have some fun :roflmho:

Buy blanks of different material, commission someone like Romillio to make flex nibs, then have various pen-turners make pens. Give them some pompous sounding designer name and sell the resulting pens as Limited Editions.

 

 

How great is that?

      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
