Show Us Your Pen Cases For 5-6 Pens :)

[ksm]

Here is Donat DT-8 five pen case, my wife uses it to carry her pens to work. It spent about 7 months in her bag.

 

 

It is made of genuine leather.

Leather is pretty soft on the inside, it does not not cause excessive wear on pen body.

As you see on the last picture, pens are separated from each other.

 

Length: 15,5 cm

Width: 10,2 cm

Height: about 2,5 cm

 

TWSBI 580 is about limit of pen size it accepts. Width-wise each of slots is snug but not prohibitively tight fit for TWSBI 580 or Lamy Al-Star cap.

Length-wise 580 is on the limit of what can be placed in external slots, middle slot is a little longer, it can accept a pen up to 8 mm longer than external slots.

 

It cost me ~$45 on fountain pen day sale.

 

Personally I keep my TWSBIs 580 in Donat DT-4 two pen case, and I'm more than satisfied with its quality.

I love my five pen Venlo case. Beautiful leather, and soft inside to protect the pens. Ruud

I wanted to get this case but not sure if my pens will fit- do you know if it could accommodate MB 149 or Omas new Paragon?

The website says the pen channels are 7" x 1" so I imagine both a 149 and Paragon would be fine. The website also says the case costs $400.

The search for a 5- or 6-pen case has become immensely frustrating for me, even after reading many revies on FPN, so please forgive my re-opening the topic. I need something harder than a pen wrap, for large, sometimes fat pens (MB 149, Pelikan M1000, F-C 19.) The F-C penvelope, which I have, is bulky, and pens can rattle around, plus, the hard material on the slots makes it hard to clip on certain pens and dig out a number of clipless ones. I've seen at least two complaints on each of the following cases, so, with apologies, let's please leave them out, even if you love them and have never had a problem yourself: Dreamtouch's zipper can rub against and scratch pens. The Venlo is made of chrome-tanned leather, which can affect the metal on pens even though they are not in direct contact with it. The Aston has elastic bands, which have caused trouble (including for me in my beloved Libelle 3-pen cases,) so elastic bands are pretty much out. Phew! Any thoughts on ANYthing else? Thanks!

 

This information about the Venlo case is new to me. How can it affect the pens? And this is not the case for almost all leather products?
