What Was Your Last Impulsive Pen Acquisition?

[AmandaW]

A black  & gold Kaweco x Moleskine F with a matching converter. Really just a dressed up Perkeo, but I like those for comfort and sealing and I've been enjoying the blue one* so much it was hard to resist in the black in the Milligram Black Friday sale which began today.

 

*especially since removing the 'Kaweco x Moleskine' print which made it look... meh.

Delta Windows limited edition, the Winter variant. Hopefully it arrives today to cheer me up about catching yet another winter illness.

Ordered and received an Asvine V126 Vac Filler in a Blue Swirl. Surprised me as

the fit and finish is quite good and the nib is surprisingly smooth and wet.

I rejoined Reddit because it’s really the only place I’m willing to join to see Travelers Notebooks and comments. Someone had their Pilot Metropolitan gray Houndstooth pen laying on their TN. I did not start the day wanting a Pilot Metro pen. I have 5 that I don’t use much. But Jet Pens sold  it with the CM nib at the same price as those with F and M nibs.

(Back to normal speed) I got the fountain pen, a Zebra Midliner in mild lavender, a Life A6 Vermillion notebook, some Neox lead for the Pentel Twist-Erase mechanical pencils I found on my Dad’s desk, and a Sakura eraser. The Life Vermilion notebook will join the Life A6 Pistachio notebook I already have. 
 

I’ve been using my Dad’s mechanical pencils, and wearing my Mom’s jewelry to feel close to them as I miss them so much.

An excellent use of heirlooms

  My heart goes out to you, @Misfit. It’s hard this time of year.

Im sure the same goes for you, so my heart goes out to you too. It will be my first Christmas alone. I was going to say Thanksgiving, but there was one I was alone when I was at college.

Hugs back to you too my friend. 
 

I’m looking forward to the pen delivery. I expect it will be next week though.

Nakaya Neostandard - "Human Peace"

Just picked up another Pilot Prera Iro-Ai in blue with the CM nib. I love that nib because it feels like a medium stub. Great little writer and it came with a converter and a cartridge for a very reasonable price.

 

I also stopped by the Itoya store in Haneda Airport (Tokyo) briefly and picked up an A5 Romeo notebook. Nice paper. They had some beautiful maki'e pens, but I wasn't prepared to buy one of those higher priced pens.

@wikeh2004 I totally agree with you about the Prera, and the CM nib. The snap cap on the Prera makes a cool sound.

Semi-impulsive purchase: Pure Pens have the new plastic-bodied Kaweco Sport piston-filler in stock and are running a pre-Christmas discount, so I nabbed one along with a couple of Kaweco Sport clips - one for this pen, the other for my old Sport 112.
