Show Us Your Black Pens

[hari317]

Hari, wow! That is a sweet pen. Please tell us who makes it and how it writes. I'm assuming it's new since it looks so pristine. Is it??

Tom, yes it was new when it was photographed. Just click on the picture it will take you to my earlier thread about the pen.

 

Best

Freddy, I like that chased pattern Parker Duofold. Is it a vintage model? I've heard those nibs are a real peach (a new expression I've adopted since moving to Georgia two years ago). Thanks for sharing!

 

Jar, that pen looks like a whale. Is it really that big in real life? I looked at the photo and just imagined it sucking up an entire bottle of ink in one go.

The Montegrappa is a standard international C/C pen but Montegrappa converters are big.

Hi,

Here's my latest black pen. It is a Conway Stewart International, which I have lacquered and charcoaled. Just needs a replacement CS 1A nib and a cap clip to finish.

Hey, that looks great! How did you "charcoal" the finish?

Platinum Izumo soratame - a little green involved as well.

Wow! my grail color actually. How come you never told me you bought this? How do you like it? Congratulations!

Thanks,

The pen is lacquered and very fine charcoal is sprinkled on.

The effect is a striking black.

I have fine sanded just the cap knob that should hold the clip, which gives a matt finish, but have left the rest of the pen surface unsanded for now.

Regards

Here are mines. Well, one of them has some patterns, but it is still black and I quite like it.

There's one missing that they call diamond black, but it's rather dark gray.

Honestly, Hari I completely forgot. I still have not tested the pen. It has a F nib but is frankly unusable for me. Will get a nib exchange from platinum (Fingers crossed)

Wow, beautiful. Which is the one on the far right?
