This is a bit of a strange request... Could somebody post pictures of really really cool looking orange fountain pens? (I tried looking up for them with not much results)

 

I just LOVE spending hours and hours (I know) just looking at pictures of fountain pens and drooling over them. I don't know what's up with my current obsession with orange fountain pens, but I would love to see some pictures (please include the pen names)

 

Thank you in advance!!!

The TWSBI Vac 700 is called amber, but I think it's pretty orange-y. Here's mine:

I have the orange Lamy Safari too, but I can't seem to find a picture. I'll try to snap one later. :thumbup:

 

I've actually been thinking about getting another orange pen. Maybe an Edison in orange ebonite. I love orange; reminds me of fall leaves. :)

Jotting down first impressions:

 

  • It is substantial. It is almost 6" in length, and the acrylic is thick. Weight is similar to that of a MB146.
     
  • The bands are plastic, as are the threads. But, they are well-machined.The cap/section screw tightly onto/into the barrel. No wiggling. No gaps. The thinner bands are flush with the cap.
     
  • The orange acrylic is nice - bright, slightly translucent in places, and much as I detest the word, a bit shimmery.
     
  • It comes with a converter - friction fit, secure, above average capacity, with a ball inside to prevent tension.
     
  • The nib is large, like the rest. It is firm and fine, reasonably smooth out of the box. No skipping or other issues.

The Visconti Rembrandt I have is a beautiful, swirly orange. The photo I'm using (from Amazon) shows its shade more accurately than my cellphone pic:

Gsteer - that's a beautiful collection of orange pens.

 

How do you like the Ipsilon? I've had my eye on one for a while.

Fool me once, shame on you.

Fool me twice; damn

Thanks :)

 

Guilty admission time - the Ipsilon is uninked. I picked it up last year when a UK vendor had a very nice sale on, and, apart from getting to Canada haven't used it as yet.

 

It'll be inked this year though as I'm 'finally' getting around to my Blue vs Orange pen / ink battle, so at that point they'll be a full review.

 

I'm getting better though, it's only one of two (I think!) uninked pens I've got.

Not the best picture, I'm afraid. But after I got rid of my TWSBI 540 Amber last week, this my my only orange pen.

      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
