I'm fascinated by demonstrators..

 

Sadly, now I don't think I will EVER see a more beautiful collection of pens for the rest of my life. Soul crushing

[darazs]

My oh my!! That is a beautiful collection

BTW, which pen is having highest ink carrying capacity ?

[AD64]

This is clearly a most spectacular and dazzling collection. Everything about the way you have brought this together, including the storage cases.

 

Please do post photos of them as you ink, if you would?

 

Does the Jaipur fit your criteria? And did you add the Kaweco?

 

Magnificent, is all I can say.

 

Where did you source the Pilot Petit1 Noncolor?

I had no idea that people were still looking at this thread!

 

The collection is still building... I plan to provide an update once this damned CAISO comes in.

 

...which might be in 2017 at this rate

Dude, I (and I think I'm not alone) come back to this thread regularly. That's amazing collection

Stunning collection! I love demonstrator's (only have a vac-700 & Lamy Vista though) and wish I had the money for a collection like yours.

Hey Ken, do you like demonstrators?

[kenshiro]

Hey Ken, do you like demonstrators?

At least as much as you love 'murica

[kenshiro]

Too busy for a proper update at present, but a sneak preview...

wow

Wonderful collection! I'm just curious how often do you actually ink them? Cleaning a demo is a headache for me. Let me also suggest the Firma/Aurora Qube, demonstrator with a demonstrator case and the Conklin MT Demo!

I'm glad you like it. I usually keep 4-5 inked at any given time with different colors for day-to-day use, though I have other EDCs that sometimes take a few of those slots, particularly with the saturated inks so I don't stain the demos. Cleaning is a snap with an ultrasonic, so that's ceased to be an issue.

 

I actually have an Aurora Cube, it's visible in the third tray, sixth slot from the left. The Conklins are ineligible for my collection because the nibs are two-tone.

 

Cheers!

Thanks! Hope the trays work out for you. I'm up to two boxes now.

Very nice collection you have there and very appropriate storage solution. I've often thought I should develop curation rules for my collection. Unfortunately my only rule is:

--fountain pen
