Parker 25

Parker 15 Flighter/GT. Cheap enough anyone can have one, classy enough you can use them anywhere, good enough to use every day.

Conklin's Mark Twain Crescent filler. I know I might get lynched for this, but I really like it; the size, the design, the mad filling mechanism, the silly signature and the faux chased rubber design. It's tempting to choose a vintage Conklin, but sadly I only own quite small vintage Conklin's and I like big pens.

Actually the best pen is the one with the grenade on 007 Goldeneye movie with the 3 second fuse when clicked 3 times, but I am pretty sure that's a ballpoint

Noodler's Konrad, flex. Haven't tried them with "regular" nibs but I'm sure once I invest in a nib set I'll be hooked. My favorite pen to tinker with, ink on my hands and all. Affordable and in many attractive colors.

 

Lamy Safari, all nib sizes have them all just hate that everything is proprietary (converters, cartridges, can't turn it into an eyedropper because of the window hole... fun new color to collect every year and great writing pens, on the cheap side which I love, but my secondary mostly for drawing pens)

 

Waterman Kultur, not gonna lie, these pens are amazing but I mostly love the Tomb Raider/Laura Croft series ones I've collected. I have two in green/blue/Laura in the water (one for the vault and one for daily use), 3 of the red (one for the vault, one for daily use, and a rollerball for parts should something happen to my daily... though I sometimes consider using it as an actual pen. Sometimes. And one in the white for the vault. If I get another I'll use one in my rotation but I don't see them often online. There is a brown I've seen here on FPN once and haven't managed to catch on Ebay yet. Someday *sigh* Lara was a childhood here for me.)

 

I have tried Noodler's nib creepers, Pilot 78G & Pilot Plumix, Platinum 3776 Century of the more discussed pens on the forums and they don't rate in my top three. Good pens, but just not my IT pens.

My Wahl-Eversharp Symphony purchased about a month ago is becoming my favorite. Very smooth dependable writer with a flexi 14k fine nib.

[Tritonus]

It would have to be an Omas Paragon in blue marbled celluloid finish, EF nib that was made in the 90's I believe for me......the nib is to die for - soft, springy, juicy and the size of the pen is perfect for my hands. I'm not too crazy about the tight piston system however!

[Falconerguy]

Gotta be the M800

Aurora Optima

My GOAT is the Pelikan 100N

[Opooh]

149 of that German firm, what was that name again?

[Bisquitlips]

There is no way my mind would allow me to choose an all time favorite pen.

 

I pulled out a Sheaffer Nostalgia today and inked it up after not using it for about a year and I was astonished as I remembered how much I love writting with that pen. I typically carry a MB Traveler or Doue, but the beauty of being a collector of fine writing intstruments is being able to go back to the collection and pull out a pen and a memory.

 

I suppose my all time favorite pen would be the one I am using now. That is shallow I know, but very true for me! Today it is the Nostalgia and perhaps tomorrow a Parker Duofold or Vacumatic. Maybe even a Yard O Led or Omas.

Parker Big Red Duofold.

For me, it's the Lamy 2000. It's just really dependable, and I'm a sucker for the classic design.

Enough with polls.

Enough with polls.

huh?!

[Brian K]

I agree with Jar. The only way such a poll could have meaning is if you had a couple hundred options AND you could get a substantial chunk (25% or more?) of us to reply. Good luck with that. Even if you met both of those conditions it still wouldn't mean much. Something like this is way too subjective to take seriously.
