What Pen Did You Get Today?

[BamaPen]

Today I received two pens, custom turned, with a personal design inlaid in the wood. They are both in the Little Havana style and are cartridge fillers. They write very smoothly and the wood just feels really good in my hand.

Picked up my Montegrappa Miya Argento in Midnight Blue this morning...

Reform 1745, P120, Demo from smeden. Super fast shipping and in great shape. Can't wait to ink them up.

[Jimmy James]

Two identical packages of:

 

2 Reform P120 and 3 Dollar Student Pens

 

Why two? I accidentally had one sent to my old address and was convinced it was lost. When I asked smeden to confirm I had made this error, he offered me a discount on a reorder. I didn't think forwarding worked with USPS (that they had just delivered to the new occupants or something), so I took him up on the reorder. I got the second order at my work and finally got the first order today. I don't know why the forwarding appears to have taken like 2 and a half weeks, but I'm happy at the result.

 

P120 is fantastic if you ask me.

 

Student Pen is a lot like the piston fill version of the Hero 616 in my book. Nice pen to be sure, but it is cheap feeling and overall cheap enough for me to be reckless with. I'll risk one of these instead of a nicer pen to test ink mixes and the like.

 

Smeden is a great seller and an asset to our community. Buy from him if you like Dollar or Reform.

I just got a Lamy 2000 with a fine nib. What a great pen. Perfect size, perfect weight and writes really well. I loaded it with some Private Reserve Tanzanite and it writes like a medium. I need to try something dryer next.

Edison Huron in satin finish black acrylic with an Ariel Kullock "sliding snake" clip -- I am super excited about this pen! HP

Thanks to both Ladies

I got a Sun Rise Orange Conklin Herringbone, yesterday for father's day!

[Muncle]

I got a Sheaffer Agio, which had been backordered and I didn't know it had been sent. Surprise!

[Jimmy James]

From Cultpens:

 

Orange Lamy nexx, broad nib

 

2x Purple Pelikano, medium nib (right hand), one of which I will eventually photo and offer for sale -- I figure somebody may want one, and I'm okay with having two if I turn out to be wrong

Tat-tung demonstrator, Parker "21", Waterman 32, and... oh yea, an odd Parker lever fill, in BHR with "Penman" on a steel clip, at least I think it's a parker, the nib states "Parker Lucky curve" and the number 2.

I just bought 3 of the Noodlers pens from Swishers. I bought a black one (for X Feather), blue (for legal lapis) and turquoise (for big bad heron). I like to color code my pens. I'll be anxious to see how they work. I've always loved Noodlers ink and I imagine Nathan will make sure each pen is fine tuned for maximum smoothness.

An Omas 360 in Celluloid Gray with a very wet M nib.

[Mr.Wote]

I picked up a Parker IM and a converter at the UW Bookstore, and promptly loaded it with J. Herbin Vert Olive.

 

Grabbed a Preppy too, did an eyedropper conversion with Waterman Havana.

 

I really like the Parker IM's nib. I don't have a lot of experience, but my primary pen thus far has been a Waterman Harmonie with a fine nib, so using a wider one is a real treat.

The Preppy isn't half bad either.

Omas Milord in bronze arco celluloid!
