Wing Sung 699. I ground the nib a bit to get it stub-like. Still needs some smoothing, i think

A wingsung 618 with Diamine Night Sky (Ignore the Nemosine neutrino in the BG).

 

This nib is surprisingly smooth and wet. It's supposedly an EF hooded nib, but it shows shimmer well (I was an idiot and took a picture on the wrong page, bg inks are solferino and shimmering seas)

Does a Twsbi Swipe made in China is a Chinese pen or a Taiwanese Pen? If it is a Chinese pen then a Swipe with 1.1 nib and brown Skip Ink.

Today's journal pen was a Wing Sung 601A with a conical nib and Diamine Salamander. The nib is beautifully fine and not a hint of scratchy.

Today's Chinese pen is a dark teal Hero 565, an aerometric one, filled with J Herbin Vert de Gris. This is my first Hero with that type of filler and I may have been doing something wrong because I got a lot of bubbles coming out with each press and ended up with only a partial fill.

The Kaweco Sport fits nicely in a side pocket of my work trousers but I'm anxious about the fragile plastic if I bump against machinery 'n' stuff. I see Jinhao has a bunch of metal bodied pens I hadn't seen before (35, 65, 88), and the black Jinhao 35 catches my eye.

Some might think it's plain and boring and I couldn't argue, but that's what I like about it. No-nonsense, practical, unobstrusive. I expect the thing to work well (I have a better experience with Jinhao than Wing Sung, for example) and it does. Nice wet writer, thought that might've had something to do with my tendency to splay tines ever so slightly. Also might've turned the EF line into an F verging on M, but hey ho. It's holding the last bit of a sample of Noodler's Walnut.

Love the looks of that checkboard Jinhao 100.  Nice pairing with the FPR ultraflex nib.

Beautiful blue ink with nice shading.

Did you change out the feed or is the feed the pen came with (I presume plastic) keeping up. It appears to be
