What's Your Biggest Pen

[Polanova]

The one in my avatar pic (14,8 cm)

[Floreat]

My Jinhao X530. It's huge and heavy, and is actually one of my most comfy writers due to the weird way I hold my pen

[sargetalon]

My biggest are my two Pelikan M800's.

[The Blue Knight]

Not huge fan of mega pens however I do have a Jinhao x450 and may look in to getting a diplomat excellence for my next pen.

Jinhao 159. It's quite big and I love. Nice balance and terrific ink flow. Very enjoyable to use. In fact I just ordered another and plan to do a nib swap. Maybe a broad or even 1.1.

My pens are all similarly small.

They are all around Parker Sonnet size.

I have a dozen pens at the top end of the size range in my collection, they are all pretty close.

 

From the top they are:

Visconti Wall Street Double Reservoir Power Filler LE

Visconti Ebonite Double Reservoir Power Filler, Joon 25th Anniversary LE

Rotring Core

Stipula Modello T, FPN LE

TWSBI Vac 700

Taccia Swisher Exclusive Premier Mint Stripe

Pelikan M1000

S. T. Dupont Extra Large Orpheo, Vertigo II

S. T. Dupont Extra Large Orpheo, Vertigo

Danitrio Miwaku

Classic Pens Black Legend Prototype

Classic Pens LM1 Flame Red

 

It seems that the Danitrio, the Pelikan and the Taccia are very nearly the same length when capped and are the three longest.

Note, although the image above is a montage, I am careful to keep the individual pen images to the same scale. So the relative sizes in the montage are accurate.

I guess it depends on what "biggest" means...

Longest is my Yard-O-Led Viceroy Grand Victorian
Heaviest is my Conway Stewart Winston or the Viceroy, I'd have to dig a scale out to be sure,
Fattest is my Danitrio Hyotan, sometimes called a gourd pen or "Mae West".

 

EDIT: I got curious and did some actual measurements and found my perception is off. My longest is the Viceroy Grand, but only beats the Hyotan by .5mm. The heaviest is the Viceroy Grand at 67g (capped) vs. 53g on the Winston. Funny how your perceptions on objects you use every day can be off be so much.

Conklin Symetric - 5 3/4" capped. This pen was the reason I started checking out other pens, and wound up with a new obsession. I've had the Conklin for over 5 years, and was using it regularly, but it really is too big to lug around.

MB 149 or the Laban Mento... Need to measure.

[Nick13]

Not all that large, the Visconti Homo Sapiens, but not small either

Hello,

 

the ST Dupont "Mon Dupont" by Karl Lagerfeld is the tallest I have seen so far.

 

With the cap closed on the body, it even tops my ST DUPONT "Neo Classique" Roller in length.

[WetNoodle]

Gama Kuyil is probably the one in my collection.

 

Others I own that are quite beefy:

 

-Levenger True Writer Select

-Conklin Endura

-Noodler's Ahab

Currently, a Montblanc 146. I could see buying a 149 at some point though.
