Here is a custom blue pen that I made. It has a T6-6061 aluminum front section (tapered in the middle) and a 5mm Heritance nib. It uses a cartridge or a converter. The blank is my own creation as well.

Man, I so want a nice polished Cobalt Esterbrook like those! They're a work of art.

 

I find it's tough to find sharp blue pens that don't have garish patterns on them.

Awesome thread. it's been fun looking through all the photos. Blue is in fact my all time favorite color, which is well indicated by the tone of the pens in my current collection. I hope to be financially sound in the future so I can collect all the pretty blue pens out there.

Thanks! I rather enjoy these pens myself.

 

The tray is from a 36 pen Girologio case. They are carried by a few different vendors, including nibs.com. I got mine through Amazon.com for a very good price. Here's a link: Pen Case

The Waterman Man 200 Blue Caviar has been a pen I have wanted to have for some time. I think it's rather nice.

Blue is my favorite color, but I'd never really been attracted to blue pens. Some of these pens, though, really gets my mouth watering.

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
