I have five pens inked today but only use one at a time. Right now it's a Danitrio flat-top Takumi with a soft-fine nib modified to cursive italic.

@jar: whoa, that's one seriously interesting-looking pen in a very lovely color.

Some sort of fancy all-metal GvFC pen with an 18k F nib. Belongs to my father, needed a new fill and since I just cleaned and filled the thing, I wrote a test page with it, to see if everything was okay. It was, but it's still not my kind of pen. To be completely honest, there are at least two Jinhao x450's I'd prefer over that pen.

 

An even more fancy Pelikan M800, M nib. Also my father's. I got to write with it a few months ago and found it to be a skipping mess of a pen (which my dad refused to acknowledge, despite the fact that half of his test signature was missing when he tried it after I complained about the skipping). Blamed it on Pelikan's QC back then, but over the months I got a creeping suspicion as to what was really causing the skipping... Well, the pen conveniently ran out of ink today, so I got permission to clean and refill that one, as well... and io and behold, cleaning out a decade and a half of ink residue fixed the skipping. Who'd have thought. Actually had a hard time putting the pen down afterwards - that handsome little white/tortoiseshell M400 on my wishlist just gained quite a bit of priority.

 

I also used my Sheaffer Imperial for a bit (which I neglected a bit lately, the poor thing), as well as my Geha 780 (which is pretty much my go-to pen anyway) and a Jinhao x450 with a Fine Italic, because I'm still pretty proud of myself for re-grinding that nib, hah.

Noodler's Nib Creaper with Waterman's Harmonious Green. This pen, with a bit of nib smoothing, has suddenly become one of my favourite writers. I've had it for over a year and haven't used it more than once or twice. Could NOT get it to write well. Now, though...I'm loving it!
