I thought it might be cool to see everyone's daily writer. Here is my old Rotring 600. I got this one in the eighties when they first came out and it still is one of my number one pen.

Wow! Your pen has seen a LOT of use -- it has character !

 

These two VPs are always in my pen roll -- they're beautiful and so functional -- and are accepting of my favorite ink colors (currently PR Black Cherry and Noodler's Nightshade).

Here are mine for the office :

The M215 is loaded with Herbin Bleu Nuit, and the Carene with Caran d'Ache Amazon

 

At home for journal, it depends on my mood. For the moment it's my Pelikan M805, but it could be my Delta Dolce Vita.

Lately, this one has been seeing a TON of use...especially since I just finished grinding the nib (not the one pictured) to an (F) stub!

This beasty is either on my desk or in my pocket most of the time. It is a 50's "51" with a Medium Nib that I smoothed out to my liking. The pen is actually made from parts that I acquired over a period of time, but it writes so well that although it was one of my cheapest finds really, I would not part with it.

Nice looking pen. It looks to be tough as nails.

I'd have to say either none or all... "None" because I don't have any single pen that's always inked; everything gets rotated evenly. And "all" because when a pen is inked, it rides in my backpack along with all the other inked pens, and I randomly pick one whenever I need to write something.

These are my two carry around's. Love em..... The P51 aero is usually filled with some type of blue. The VP has two nibs that I switch between (fine and broad) and is usually filled with Noodlers Ellis Island--my ink of choice lately.

My current rotation of pens are these. The red one is a rollerball. I have been using all of these on a daily basis for at least two months now.

Like you, pretty much everything get rotated. The only pen that I wouldn't call my daily writer although it is usually inked in red is my Pilot Birdie. The Birdie's barrel is too slim to be using for regular writing, so I have red ink in it which I do use to mark things every day or every other day.

I use these two daily, my writer a PelM400 with a left oblique cursive italic by Mottishaw filled with Visconti Blue, and a Parker 45 M nib filled with Noodler's Widow Maker. The Parker is used for correcting items and making comments on reports for my employees. I just replaced a Hero 156 (a 45 type clone) with the 45 for use with red ink.

My current everyday users are my Parker Duofold and my Parker '51' Flighter. Once those are out of ink, I shall clean them, put them away and start on the next two pens in my box (My two Parker '51's with rolled-gold caps).

Right now a navy-grey '51' loaded with Noodlers Dragon's Napalm and a green Esterbrook J filled with grey ink I made from cutting open black cartridges none of my pens liked and watering them down.

I'd rather spend my money on pens instead of shoes and handbags.

I have a bunch, here's what I think I'll be using from now on:

 

Pel M400 F nib, loaded with Diamine Imperial Blue.

Wality 69L M nib, loaded with Noodler's Ottoman Rose

 

Previously, my Waterman Phileas was my go everywhere pen (and still will be for travel), as was my Pelikan Pharo.

Here is my daily driver......Parker 51 special in Teal Blue....Medium nib.....

 

I bought it in 1969 or 1970 at a flea market in Ann Arbor MI. Used it to take notes for 4 years of undergrad and 2+ years of grad school. Lost in a box of desk stuff for about 30 years......Recently resuscitated and now is in daily use again.....Now looking for the matching pencil and box if anyone has one F/S.

Stani, I really like your shot here. It's the "patina"

The 3 I always carry with me are my Optima, Charleston and M215. My 51, Crest, Duofolds and others, I don't carry them with me because they are not replaceable when lost or stolen.

I too carry a 600 with me at all times, even when I know I won't be using it. Like another FPNer mentioned, you can even use them to kill bears. Not that I have much chance of that in The Hague...

      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
    • adamselene
      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
