Which One Will Be Your Next Fountain Pen ?


Thier.

Recommended Posts

As so many of us, i'm always dreaming of a new pen. THE PEN I haven' t yet but I really want.

After having worked hours and hours to find that formula, it's now ready for each of you. Perhaps it can help you to explain to your wife or husband how il goes :

n + 1 is the correct formula. N being the number of Fountain pens you already have .....

What´s your " +1" ?

Personnaly, I've seen a Faber Castell Ambition on Ebay and still am in love with the Dupont Defi .... And you ?

I'm quite happy with what I have at the moment and would like to think I could go the rest of the year with out buying another pen. I just spent about £60 an M200 so the vast majourity of this years pen fund is spent. However I do have two pens on my list that I would like to buy perhaps early next year to satisfy my crave for the weird and wonderful a Pelikan Twist

 

 

As well as a Worther Compact Fountain pen.

 

 

 

I think I need to buy some more inks before more pens know.

Next thing on the list is a Pilot Falcon.... but I'm still unsure if I want the extra-fine nib or just the fine. And I'm also unsure if I want to pay the premium for a metal falcon. Looks nicer, especially in this burgundy red and it fits the CON-70...

If I had the money right now, I might go for a Platinum 3776. Nakayas look amazing too but definitely out of my reach. But I think I am satisfied with my current collection(?) now, since it has grown exponentially in the recent months and I feel it's getting a little out of hand.

It looks fine, but .... Which pen is it ? Looks like a Mikado ....

 

Yes. Mikado in Shu tame-nuri,

A Pelikan M200 why? I would like a Piston filler that lasts so that rules a TWISBI so I guess I will have to save up for some time (a few months) for a Pelikan.

Can't go wrong with a M200, more or less my favourite pen.

I have been looking at a Nakaya Long Cigar in Aka-tamenuri with a broad nib. That might take some saving though.

I just picked up one of these beauties about three weeks ago. It's a wonderful pen!

As I can see, Pelikan seems to be The Pen nearly everyone is dreaming about .....

I've got me an itch that can only be scratched with some ebonite. And flex! I'm thinking a new Edison just might be in the cards.

Taccia Savanna Special Edition - probably a medium nib since these seem to run a bit fine

Still pondering a Pilot Prera with a F nib in yellow. Mostly because I want to try out a non-western F, but also because I feel like something more colorful than my usual pens.

There's quite a few pens I've been considering. Like top pen said, I love colorful and weird pens so I really want to look into the Pelikan Pelikano Jr, Pelikano, and Twist. I've also been eyeing a VP and an M200.

 

Last week at the Cincinnati FP meetup, a nice gentleman loaned me a TWSBI 580 Diamond and Vac 700. I've been really enjoying writing with those as well but I'm not so sure about the filling. I can't fill them from sample vials, since the diameter is too large, and it seems silly to buy extra bottles just to fill a few pens.

 

Oh and I tried a Faber Castell Loom at my local brick and mortar that I loved as well.

I'll keep on struggling, 'cause that's the measure of a man.

      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
