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.

      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
