I have to admit, I've been a stealth pen fan forever, and today's current trends are right up my alley. Inviting everyone to post their picks.

 

Three of my favorites

Nice! Love the Midori backdrop as well.

 

I really like the original version of the Nighthawk though. I missed out on the first one and am not sure I'll pull the trigger on the new one.

To be really stealthy, doesn't the pen have to be the same color as your hand?

Black and Gold is the German national color....in fountain pens. I must have 20 or so of them.....some look lots alike too.

Two years ago I said no more black pens....well the Germans made mostly black pens. And I needed the nib width and flex....10-12 black and gold pens later.

 

So, take a look at the many black and gold German pens to had.

Well I left my camera at work but I'll post up on Monday! Only two I have are the VP Matte Black with Black Nib and an Edison Beaumont Stealth - but love them both :)

Usually not a big fan of black pens except when they are all black and stealthy like yours! One of my favorites is my Stealth Capless faceted Namiki.

I really like that VP!

 

The only stealthy pens I have would probably be Lamys: a black 2000 and a black Dialog3.

Unfortunately the NSA isn't setting the bar very high when it comes to "stealthy" these days, but your black pens are nice. I have several black and chrome pens, but no "stealth" pens per se. The only obvious omission from your collection I am aware of is the Lamy Safari.

Edward Snowden knew that before you did. The NSA contracts with Levenger for Stealth Stylus pens in radar eluding black.

...ironically, the Levenger L-Tech "Stealth" has a silver nib and a shiny external components including the glossy clip...making it very "un-stealthy"...

I'd get one of those Faber Castells in a heartbeat if they had them in a fine point nib. For some inexplicable reason, FC decided to make the E-Motion Stealth a medium nib only.

      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
