Pens To Look For @ Dallas Pen Show


Tony the Tiger

Recommended Posts

Going to the Dallas Pen Show this weekend. I can't decide which pen I'll be seriously looking for. A few that come to mind are: Platinum Hammered Sterling Silver / Stipula Da Vinci / Visconti Opera Master / Delta Dolcevita Federico Oversize / Visconti Divina / Lamy Dialog 3. I like my pens to have something unique about them--a feature that's found on few, if any other pens. Your suggestions?

CURRENT STABLE:

MB Boheme / Platinum Hammered Sterling Silver / Pelikan M800 (clear demo) / Stipula Da Vinci / Visconti Opera Master / Delta Dolcevita Federico Oversize / Franklin-Cristoph 19 / Franklin-Christoph Model 25 w/ Masuyama nib

Esterbrook; pastels, or the even harder to find nurses pens.

Esterbrook; icicles.

Parker; T1 (don't get this pen to use, this is a collector pen)

Parker; 50, Falcon, you can try for all 4 (gold, black, brown and flighter)

Parker; Duofold, mandarin yellow.

Sheaffer; slim Targa, WITH the converter.

 

Japanese pens with lacquer decorations; urushi, makie, etc. But you better have a deep wallet for some of these.

 

There are LOTs of pens that fit your requirement.

N-Joy the shopping.

I don't have any suggestions for you, but I'll be trying to see the new Pelikan M400 Tortoise. It's not exactly groundbreaking or super unique, but I've never seen a Pelikan tortoise of any kind in the flesh, so I just want to see what the hype is all about...

 

Good luck though; it should be fun! I'm getting super excited...

      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
