Writes On Anything!

Do you have a pen that will write on almost anything,that is your trusty stalwart? Something that writes checks, addresses envelopes, takes notes, does your journal - the one that gets the green jersey for "most consistent performance?"

Pilot Vanishing Point with an XF nib, it writes on anything with any ink without ever feathering or bleeding through.

Not a pen so much as an ink -- that would be either Noodler's Kung Te Cheng (which is kept in a Noodler's Konrad), or possibly Noodler's 54th Massachusetts (currently residing in the ebonite Konrad). One or the other of those inks are pretty much in constant rotation. KTC even works on Post-it Flags -- the only other ink I found that did that was Diamine Registrar's Blue-Black, but I didn't like it for other reasons. But not even KTC works on the write-on space on freezer bags :angry: -- I have to fall back on BPs for that.

If KTC didn't have behavior issues (it can get cloggy) I would consider putting it in my Plum 51 Demi. But since it does, and Aerometric fillers are harder to clean, it stays in a pen I can completely dissemble if necessary.

for writing on plastic surfaces (like freezer bags, CD/DVD's, and so on), i fall back on a sharpie marker.

 

for labelling my backyard chickens' eggs with the dates they were laid, a mechanical pencil.

 

for everything else, there's my Hero 329 with Bulletproof Black.

Wow, I never even thought of freezer bags, let alone eggs!

Sharpie marker!

'The Yo-Yo maneuver is very difficult to explain. It was first perfected by the well-known Chinese fighter pilot Yo-Yo Noritake. He also found it difficult to explain, being quite devoid of English.

So we left it at that. He showed us the maneuver after a sort. B*****d stole my kill.'

My Sailor fountain pen with a fine nib, when filled with Noodler's Black, can even write on newspaper without feathering.

 

I've yet to try it on a freezer bag though...

It's quite nice out here in the sunshine...

      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
