Streamlined pens

Já que ninguém mais mencionou isso, vou apresentar boas palavras em favor do Parker 50 Falcon. Escritor suave, embora ligeiramente seco. Embora qualquer coisa com uma ponta integrada pareça simplificada, essa coisa parece supersônica. Comprei pela aparência e não me arrependo de jeito nenhum.

A Falcon is one of the pens on my wish list ... it's an iconic pen, without a doubt! Congratulations on the beautiful relic.

Sheaffer inlaid nib pens such as the PFM and 440 are pretty damned streamlined. Obviously the Parker 51 (as has already been mentioned) and it's clones (of which there are many currently in production, with a variety of filling systems). The Omas 361 might be a little less streamlined, but some versions are still pretty smooth and... aerodynamic.

 

When it comes to pens without hooded or inlaid nibs, the Lamy Aion has a very smooth streamlined shape - and it's Lamy style nib arguably has more streamlined lines than a typical nib.

I put the start of the "modern" FP era at the introduction of the Parker 45, which may also be considered sleek and streamlined.  Sleek pens were very fashionable then.  Even MontBlanc was making sleek pens, and I have read that they stopped making any torpedo or cigar-shaped pens except for the 149.  I have a MontBlanc 72 with a semi-hooded nib (advert here), and I'd say that the two have similar styling.  I'd also put the various Sheaffers with inlaid or Triumph nibs  on this list.

I do have a Pilot Elite. Is the Pilot myu any smoother?

 

Not really.  And since it's no longer made, any that you find will probably be much more expensive.  But they're smooth enough, and I really like the design.

Thank you so much. Your Answer encourages me to be thankful for what I have got. I already have the Pilot Elite. I wish it was a tad smoother.

I share the humanity of people, I’m like the rest of everybody and certainly I’m not better or higher than anybody in anything, regardless of what they believe in or don’t believe in. What they experience is certainly not alien to me. I’m part of all people and they are part of me, interbeing, that is.

      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
