Knives And Fountain Pens

[zenhikester]

Howdy-Do- Hereis a period correct setup for you- a 1929 blotter, 20's era Queen Jack, Wahl-EverSharp pencil and a Moore #2 in BCHR with gold.

 

And another- Grey Esterbrook J set, Camillus Easy Open Jack and Keen Kutter

 

Peace

Okay, by the time I got a photo of some of my sharp/inky toys, this thread appeared to have trailed off, and I withheld posting, but since it's been revived, here 'tis. Sorry for the apparent cell phone resolution, this shot was taken with an acceptably sharp 10 megapixel point and shoot camera, but when uploaded into Photobucket, the good news is that PB automatically shrinks the size to reasonable screen width, bad news is that it also appears to inordinately decrease the quality of the pic. Also I apologize for the rather static, unartistic composition of this piece, it was a real quickie photo shoot.

From top to bottom, a Buck #120, an Al Mar MAC SOG (Seki, Japan), a Parker 75 Sterling Cisele (Spanish Treasure Fleet - 1715), a Parker Azure Blue Vacumatic (3rd quarter, '44), an Italian (style?) stiletto (original or Victorian replica?), a Parker 51 Flighter (2nd quarter, '51), a Parker Blue Cedar 51 with coin silver cap (4th quarter, '45), and a Japanese kozuka (small companion blade to a katana or wakizashi). Have other Japanese blades, but their large sizes do not integrate well with pens.

This thread needs to be stopped. It's been responsible for me buying 3 new knives, so far.

 

Neverrrr!

 

That being said, let's see 'em!

Here comes a slew of them since I've been lazy/busy:

As promised, here are the 3 knife purchases as a direct result of this thread:

 

An Esee Izula in red

A Becker BK14 in black

A Boker Plus Urban

 

To keep it all on-topic, I've paired with a Custom Newton.

[risingsun]

Here's some of mine...

 

Golden Pearl Parker Vacumatic Major with stacked coins band.

 

Edison Beaumont, Bedrock Flake

 

Elrod custom, bird & trout (would love to know more about this maker if anyone has details)...

 

[risingsun]

Here's another pairing:

 

Gentleman's Benchmade prototype 770 (Osborne design) in carbon fiber

 

Bexley Cities Batavia

 

[janelle]

The only way these two could be more perfectly matched is if the Kaweco had a black nib...

After having certain knives and certain pens, I really hadn't changed up the carry too much. I'm so bad at rotating...

Case Peanut + Pilot Vanishing Point

 

I'm surprised by how much I'm liking the <M> rhodium nib on the VP. I thought for sure that I would turn around and sell it when I had gotten it, but I find myself reaching for that over my <F> gold nib!

Japanese offerings:

Al Mar Ultralight Hawk and Falcon with talon blades

Seiko Alpinist Automatic

Pilot Legno 89S

Namiki Falcon

RisingSun, nice grouping! Always wanted an Alpinist and it looks great on that leather. Seriously addicting hobbies: pocket knives, watches, fountain pens, and my other one is flashlights. Just not enough money for them all!
