Inking up for the work week. I realize the Mont Blanc inks are more expensive than my Metros, but they will have to do until I get more pens.

 

Tsuki-Yo, and Permanent Blue are my favorites of my small collection of inks so far.

The clip for my Kaweco Skyline Sport arrived yesterday. The pen takes on a nicer look with the clip. Broad nib - inked with Lamy Dark Violet. The nib on this pen is pleasantly smooooth! :)

As the (not so visible) text says, today's theme is black and gold! Found out today that my dad in addition to that Duofold he never used much also had an even older Montblanc Meisterstuck lying around. If there was ever a good way to keep your kids around, it's to randomly come across incredible heirloom pens whenever they get dinner with you :) (just kidding, I see him all the time).

 

The MB is in need of repair as he seems to have broken the filling mechanism accidentally, but I dipped it for fun.

 

MB Meisterstuck (Circa 70s or 80s, if his memory is to be believed)

Parker Duofold (Circa early 90s)

Pilot Custom 823 (Circa this year when I irresponsibly spent several hundred bucks on the Japan market smoke model :D)

 

post-130616-0-03628900-1469554956_thumb.jpg

 

If anyone wondered why Japanese/Asian nibs are so much thinner, my Japanese writing should give you an idea. A Western M is already pretty fast and loose (read: does not look great on normal size rule), but anything larger would be literally unusable for either Japanese or Chinese. The F on my Pilot is actually a bit too thick for some of my Kanji's details and they turned into blobs.

 

EDIT: because it's Speedy Tuesday (for those so inclined) below is a photo of my Speedmaster with the pens. Today is a slow day at work :D

The pen I can't stop using... I'm still getting used to the nib though... I'm guessing it's a flex nib?

Can anyone ID this Watermen's?

Hero 9096 - #5 medium nib. Inked with Sailor Jentle Souten. Nib is surprisingly smooth for a simple #5 iridium point steel nib; no scratching; minimal (at best) feedback; good ink flow. Nice image on the barrel.

This does look like a Lady Patricia, and it writes like a dream. I am not surprised you're enjoying it :)

Helen,

This is a very nice pen! The pattern is quite pretty, and it's further evidence that even inexpensive pens can be fantastic. These nibs can be quite good, as well.

Great photo. Lovely pen. But the star is your handwriting. Perhaps my favourite hand on the board. I admire the aesthetic impact of it, while it still conveys freedom and fluidity -- all while being supremely legible. Delightful, beautiful, practical. --h

      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
