Today is a Sheaffer Touchdown Imperial day. Those Sheaffer nibs with their upturned point certainly are smooth...

I ran out of ink in my Black Carbonesque Pilot Vanishing Point today, which was filled with Pilot Blue-Black, and I have been using the following at work:

Sheaffer NoNonsense M (black/silver) - Sheaffer Skrip Blue (vintage)

Pilot Varsity M (black)

Pilot 78G F (black/gold) - Noodler's Black

Platinum Preppy 05 (red) - Noodler's Nikita

Parker 45 Flighter F (vintage) - Montblanc Toffee Brown

Derek's Pens and Pencils

I am always looking for new penpals! Send me a pm if you'd like to exchange correspondence. :)

My two inked Nakayas (a Portable and a Piccolo, both clipless, with a fine nib and a broad stub nib respectively), but today used sparingly as these both have inks that I've become tired of color-wise. I need to flush them and pick different colors.

 

Otherwise, it has been a vintage day:

 

Parker 51 black vac with a lovely silver cap, fine nib, Herbin Poussière de Lune. A classy, classic pen; I adore this ink.

 

1950s celluloid Montblanc 144, flexible OBB nib, Herbin Bleu Nuit. Have I mentioned how awesome this nib is? Every time I write with this pen, the clouds part, glowing angels descend, and there is much singing and harp-plucking. :cloud9:

Pelikan 800, filled with Visconit Blue.

 

I can't believe this one didn't make the cut of my four keeper pens in the "If You Could Start Over" thread. Glad I don't have to settle for just four pens!

Waterman Expert II fine nib, loaded with Noodler's Heart of Darkness. I used this combination to address letters and postcards last week, liked the results and will stick with it for a while. Hadn't used much black the past few months.

journaling / tinkering with pens / sailing / photography / software development

"Writing is 1/3 nib width & flex, 1/3 paper and 1/3 ink. In that order."Bo Bo Olson

"No one needs to rotate a pen while using an oblique, in fact, that's against the whole concept of an oblique, which is to give you shading without any special effort."Professor Propas, 24 December 2010

 

"IMHO, the only advantage of the 149 is increased girth if needed, increased gold if wanted and increased prestige if perceived. I have three, but hardly ever use them. After all, they hold the same amount of ink as a 146."FredRydr, 12 March 2015

Sheaffer PFM III, Parker Quink.

 

I may revert to using Noodler's on this pen since tiny amounts of ink is leaking on the top of inlaid nib. :crybaby:

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
