Carrying Pens Safely To Work

[Nerdyhistorian]

Congrats! Do write in time how you get along with them

 

Will do !

 

Congrats!

 

I see that you also have a few Pilot Metros. Good choice!

 

When I was in grad school, I used my fountain pens along with mechanical pencils. I used a artist's watercolor brush roll to put my pens in. They fit pretty well, and the pen roll fit very well in my backpack. I did keep an inexpensive pen in the top pocket of my backpack for quick access.

 

Now I have two bright red, zippered ManhattanPortage pen cases made of Cordura nylon. Each pen has its own pocket. I can easily fit 4 fountain pens and a slim mechanical pencil in each one. I really like these because they protect the pens (they aren't banging into each other in an open case), and they are protected from other things on the outside. They easily slip into my briefcase and are easy to get to find.

 

Yeah, I love the Pilot Metro's! The picture doesn't show all my fountainpens (and the other pens for that matter). I have a black Safari, a Water Graduate Chrome CT and a white/blue marbled Waterman.

I use a Meisterstück 3 Pen Pouch from Montblanc.

Hello there! 2 things:

1) You can use your metal box but if you do, then I recommend you buying some affordable 1-pen pouch. You can buy 100 pieces for 20 bucks. Please look for eBay item number 233124411242 description is "LOT OF 100 BLACK VELVET PEN POUCH/SLEEVE HOLDER- LARGER LEEDS BRAND"

2) I use the LIHIT LAB Pen Case, 7.9 x 2 x 4.7 inches, Black (A7551-24) that you can buy from Amazon USA for less than 9 USD.

Wish you can enjoy your pens at home and work!

My Franklin-Christoph 2 pen leather case works great.

I have quite inexpensive 1-pen-pouches:

The metal tubes of cigars! That will even keep ink inside in case of an accident.

The most common size hold even Wing Sung 3008.

They would also hold Jinhao x450 and x750 if they didn't have these curved pins!

My Jinhao 500 fit well.

 

To protect the surface of the pens I use the soft pen-pouches that came with my Jinhao pens.

I don't have expensive pens, so for now I'm just carrying my FPs in a pencil pouch in my purse. I have some single pen pouches coming in the mail that I plan to put the FPs in.

You must be smoking Churchills.

You must be smoking Churchills.

 

the size is quite normal and not necessarily expensive:

The one in the middle has already seen some "action"

 

 

 

The Havana from Dannemann was a bit better, the others were nothing very special (below 5 €)
