What Pens Are You Using Today?

[Aysedasi]

I've also been using today a bright scarlet Sheaffer Tip-Dip (courtesy of Frankiex) with a really rather grand S1 stub nib (courtesy of Appleman). Thanks guys!

I just wanted to say that is a beautiful pe Where do you get your paper? I am in Ohio - I will likely have to order it but - suggestions? Thxn!!!!!

I received my Danitrio Tamenuri Mikado from Kevin a few days ago and I haven't wanted to write with anything else since. The pen, as many of you know, is enormous and yet it is light and shaped so that it fits into my fairly small hand beautifully. The nib is a "soft" fine. I've filled it with Noodlers Red Black (which approximates the color of the pen). I am an over the top left hander and the ink flow is such that I find no problem with smudging even using some pretty slick Clairefontaine paper.

 

I chose the clipless version since the pen really is too big to fit comfortably in a shirt pocket. The only marking on the pen (other than on the two-tone 18k gold nib) is the signature in Kongi of the artist in gold color on the section.

 

Maybe in time I'll tire of using it, but I wouldn't bet that way.

 

Now the question is what to do with the other 200 pens in my collection.

 

Since this is my first post, I'm not sure the image will show up. If it does, you should note that it is Kevin Cheng's, not mine.
