Don't Just Tell Us About The Pen You're Using, *show* Us! - 2016

... I am happy and ink-stained.

 

The fact that you put those two adjectives together shows that you've landed in the right place. We're quite glad to have you. And you've entered the best thread in the joint. Welcome!!

AAAndrew, thanks.

 

LizB, thanks and the ink in that photo was iroshizuku yama-budo.

 

This, however, is the Akkerman No. 26 Groenmarkt Smaragd via the 1980's Pelikan 120 with an italic nib.

That Sheaffer is irresistable!

 

Thanks! If i had to stick to only one pen/model it would be this.

This pen is a revelation of the obvious: smoothness, reliability and good looks does not need to be expensive. Could easily use mine as a long-termer. Quite a wet writer though, and drains the Platinum converter at an alarming rate.

Interesting pens Inkyfingers, what are they?

 

To me they bear a certain resemblance to the the Lamy 2k...

I've no idea. That was the first time I ever used an oblique holder.

But with a great result!!!! Congratulations!

 

When you draw so nice spline lines, writing capitals - you move the whole hand, not fingers' muscles, right?

Lovely Ptero. I really like the colour of your ink. So nice and vibrant!

Found TW(I)SBI Eco good enough to make short drawing on a road. Still difficult to draw small details (less than 1-1.5 cm).

Here is a a face of solder, Greek revolution, at Lord Byron's times (1821) .

 

Samsonite case (on photo) is very good to keep pen on a road.
