Just got a Kaigelu 316 in Amber/Grey, I love it so much; it will definitely be replacing the Duke 209 that was my everyday writer.

OH my - I LOVE your DUCKY!!!

 

Oh, and please show us that Amber/Grey pen. Pretty Please.

 

Most importantly, Welcome aboard! It's my resolution this month to say welcome aboard to each member I see with less than 50 posts. I'm hoping to encourage your assimilation to the collective through cheerfulness. Is it working?

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Nemosine Singularity, tuned to write a little wetter, with Chesterfield Night Sapphire. Hmmm...dry ink in a dry pen. Yah. Perfect. ;)

My latest ebook.   And not just for Halloween!
 

My other pen is a Montblanc.

I love the look of my amber/grey K316, but it does seem a bit boring in comparison with some of the others I have seen photographed (especially dag71's above). Maybe I need another to see if I can get one with a more interesting pattern.

Well, that'll be my excuse anyway!

 

Regards,

 

Richard

Today I'm using my Kaigelu 316 (it's basically my EDC) and my Hero 360, which I only got to push me over the edge for free shipping (it was only $2.88). Very wet writer, certainly makes my Diamine Sapphire *pop* on the page; without a doubt worth the pocket change that it cost.

Wow that's cool. Do they make a Broad nib? (if you know)

For the 360? I don't believe so, it's a 360degree nib, so I think they only offer one size.

Yeah, turns out lots of people prefer fine or medium nibs.

WingSung 333 for me today... ink is Diamine Eau de Nil (hence the crocodile) :P Lots of feedback and zero flex in this pen. The cap is very dodgy too... but can't complain since I paid less than $2USD with shipping in a box of 10.
