Zaddick,

Absolutely stunning!

Great photos,

[fly_us]

The Stylo Art is absolutely beautiful. BTW, how long you need to wait for it?

Please excuse the poor pics, taken with iPad. Here's my Sailor Arita, Koimarihuu rokaku sakurazu.

[Moynihan]

Nothing too exotic here.

Two most recent for me (in black ):

Sailor Profit Standard 21 kt Zoom Nib

Pilot Custom 742 wa

 

Both in the EDC right now, along with a Pilot Metal Falcon sf, a Sailor 1911 L m and a Pilot Falcon sef....

Thanks for the compliments. I was drawn to it immediately. Luckily for me I did not have to wait. It was sitting there waiting for me at the SF pen show. So, about 5 minutes for paypal top go through.

 

Talking to others, I think the wait for a similar pen might be 6 months as each piece is hand laid.

I love the design of that pen.

Of course I like the idea! I find these pens the most technically well done, simple, no frills, no problems. That's why I am selling the few vintage XXXX I have in favor of the modern.

 

Here are a few of the Namiki Falcon

And here is my other Pilot above $100. All the others are less expensive but not less appreciated. I specially love the B 78G and the F Metropolitan.

I've grown to really like Pilot's soft nibs. I have two Metal Falcons and a Justus (original, not the 95) on the way and I expect to love it as much as my Falcons, if not more. I love Pilot's pen designs and I've sold off a few of my pens just to pay for them.

Very nice. Looks like a Custom Heritage 912 with a soft fine nib? How does it compare to the Falcon soft fine in your previous post?

Well, my collection of Platinum Century 3776's has grown by one. Joining the Bourgogne, Chartres Blue, and Black is...

 

... the Platinum Century 3776 Koi Celluloid!

Can't wait to get my hands on this one! It'll be my first celluloid pen, and my first 'premium level' Japanese pen! In the meantime, I'll try not to think about the hole this has put in my bank account...

I've been eyeing this one, and the Sakura, for some time. Please post again once it's in your hands and inked up.

I shall! Probably extremely excitedly about 5 minutes after getting the parcel haha! I've already got a maki-e goldfish converter to fit the theme, the question of course is which ink do I put in it...

[Namo]

OK, I'm on a roll !!!

 

Sailor 1911L Black Luster.

Black ion plated trim

21K black ion plated medium nib

Metal weighted section, gives the pen a nice balance

 

Cartridge / Converter

Capped 138mm

Posted 151mm

Section 9mm

Max 14mm

28 gram

 

The metal section makes this pen feel grounded, no fatigue writing pleasure.

A classic design with a subdued elegance and outstanding performance.
