Almost all my pens are black. These are my favourites. I haven't included a Parker 51 which I really like as it's not 100% black, it's got a gold cap.

Great collection. I have a similar Goldfink with a stilograph tip. The KaWeCo with the crown is super nice.

Thanks for sharing.

currently, I can not decide, is it this:

<a href=" DSC_0045 title="DSC_0045 von C.M.Z. bei Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6194/6051732803_b36c304358_b.jpg" width="1024" height="444" alt="DSC_0045"></a>

 

or is t this:

<a href=" MB_L139_restored_4 title="MB_L139_restored_4 von C.M.Z. bei Flickr"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7170/6789206595_dd29d5f664_b.jpg" width="1024" height="496" alt="MB_L139_restored_4"></a>

 

The MB L139 gets my vote. You are right it is hard to choose between them.

it is actually a custom pen from drgoretex, a FPN member. I think there are some reviews of his pens and I believe the OP of the pic has written a review of the pen as well.

I have and have had quite a few black pens, but the two that mean the most to me these: First my black Esterbrook J, with its super smooth 2668 nib. This was my grandmother's pen and both pen and nib were carefully restored by Tyler Dahl.

Second is a Montblanc 146, my first fountain pen. I used this pen almost daily for 15 years and then in 2005 I had John Mottishaw restore it. It remains in my regular rotation

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
