What Is Your Thickest Pen?

[notgiven]

By the way watch_art asked me to review the Jumbo Pen after seeing it, but the only reason I chased one down in the first place was this review on a certain pen website:

Thanks for the link. Dcwaites mentioned it is more tiring than a regular pen, I wonder how practical the pen really is it for the elderly Japanese with arthritis. Then again, it is probably the pen shape that is important for the elderly with arthritis.

MB 149and Dolce Vita (medium)... but compared to others seen here, they look mid-size.

I usually prefer very thin pens and pencils, but these are really beautiful! Love the shape of the Japanese jumbo pen and DaniTrio. I must get one of these

Hi, just wondering if you have one of these. Looks nice and can't beat the price, just wondering how they write.

 

Thanks,

Name the thickest pen you own. Measurement or picture would be great.

 

I found FPN people generally like thicker pen. My hand prefer a regular size one, but a fat pen always grab my attention.

Can you please give more information regarding your Fountain pen display cases plus photos and prices. Bryan

The Japanese jumbo pen is terrifying! I don't think I could write with it at all... As someone who likes my pens fairly slim, my fattest pen is a Pilot Plumix, and it is the largest by a decent margin. :roflmho:

Delta Dolce Vita piston filler and Delta Scrigno -- nowhere close to some of the beasts above

The MB Jules Verne is the most unbalanced and heavy pen (posted) that I own.

 

This characteristic makes up for a lack of thickness.

 

Helps develop muscles in my hand that I lose when I put it back in the big pen storage facility.

 

I think the MB Charles Dickens would give it a run for its money...it has, IMO, an ungainly, heavy silver cap which is just too big for the rest of the pen.

I only owned one, briefly, because CD and I share the same birthday ....as does the nice lady who bought it

(Not the same year, of course ....CD will be 200 years old next Feb )

 

My fattest pen was my Delta DVOS ... now it's my MB149.

Ahem.

 

My Japanese Jumbo Pen. Girth is approx. 25mm (1 inch). These were apparently made for people with difficulties holding thin pens (arthritis etc.), but they are real functioning eyedropper pens with an ink shut-off valve.

 

Pictured here with a tiddly MB 149 for comparison.

 

I have one of these!
