Hello everyone!

[zmija]

Hi, my name is Waldek. I’m in the fountain pen world since late 80’s.

I’m not a collector. My pens are for writing, not for being behind the glass.

My first fountain pen was Hero 3xx, then Parker Vector and other low end Parkers.

Then I went to the store, asked for the best pen they had and gone with Pelikan M1000.

The rest of this story you probably know  

 

Now on my desk there are:

 

 

Main section:

1. Sailor Ebonite Sculpture Night Haze (slightly modified - body shortened by 13 mm) - 21ct F - in use

2. Visconti Homo Sapiens Bronze Age (2010) - 23ct Pd F (dreamtouch) -> custom EF - in use

My favorite pens:

1. Sailor Ebonite Sculpture

2. Visconti Homo Sapiens Bronze Age

3. Pelikan Souverain M1000 / Parker Duofold Centennial

 

Pens I dislike:
1. Lamy Safari
2. Today's Parkers other than Duofold

 

Now you will ask me: why do you have so many Safaris and Parkers?

- I don't know. Maybe for testing inks. Not for writing, it's for sure  

 

As you can probably see what I’m looking for is a fusion of western design with japan line precision philosophy. My pens are often modified for this purpose. I do all the modifications myself. I'm here to learn new things and share ideas.

Have a nice day
