My Menlo Pump Filler in blue and gold striated acrylic. 1.1 stub nib. We were relocating to WV, so I had it done in the those colors. I used it to sign the sales paperwork for our place in NJ...a treasured pen for sure! :D

Menlo at the moment. Darn near perfect. Sometimes I don't even use the pump. I fill it up after a good cleaning with a syringe. It's my avatar to the left. Might be the best enginered pen I've seen in a long time. Love it.

I have put a steel F-nib in my Collier. The gold M-nib was too broad for me and the inkflow was not good. It's a pity. But the steel F-nib is great! Inkflow starts instantly when the nib touches the paper.

A good fountainpen is an edc reliable writing tool

Pearl based on its size and shape.I have a translucent Menlo Draw Filler and, as cool as it is to watch the ink fill and slosh around, it’s quite tedious to clean especially where it’s been stained (since it’s translucent).

I'm glad some folks have updated this thread. I have a number of Edison pens all of which I like, but my favorite style is the Beaumont pneumatic. It just fits my hand perfectly. Unfortunately, some of my favorite inks don't play nice with the latex sac, so they get to have an extended vacation with Brian Gray for repair. So now I use Montblanc and Visconti inks in them, and we'll see how that goes.

Pearlette in the "Fingerpaints" finish, with a steel nib in M.

 

I bought the pen on impulse when it came out as a "Production Model", and I find myself reaching for it way more often than I expected. It is both small and light, but posted, it feels like a much bigger pen.

 

A close second is the new Brockton model, which is a nice combination of short with a medium-wide diameter that is super for pocket-carry but feels full size in the hand.

 

I find the Grays make a super pen at a fair price.

      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
