Decided to ink up a pen I have not used in several years. This pen was handmade for me around 2009 from a California penmaker. Medium #6 nib; smooth, with good ink flow. Silver tone trim with a filigree look. Screw cap. Also screw cap for posting. Fairly nice balance posted. Clip is springy.

Today I am using:

​LAMY Joy AL in 1.1 - inked with diamine Monaco red

TWSBI diamond 480al - fine nib - inked with diamine oxblood

Diplomat traveller - fine nib - inked with diamine teal

LAMY Nexx - medium nib - inked with diamine chopin

Pelikan M400 - EF nib - inked with diamine damson

 

I am a fan of colour coding my notes and find the mix of pens and ink make the notes easier/more fun to read.

@Helen: That first pen is one of the most stunning pens I've ever seen. What a fantastic design!

As for my pens:
Today was a day with little writing and much note-taking. Thus:

-Jinhao 159, x450 and 8812

-Noodler's Ahab
-That Online Academy from Hell. Patting my own back here, but I love that stub I ground the nib to. The pen went from something that didn't even write (Quality made in Germany, everyone) to one of my absolute favorites.

Helen, your hand made Californian pen is a stunner.

It has a beautiful deep shine to it, and the styling is gorgeous.

 

You really have some beautiful pens.

A new-to-me Waterman Hemisphere. Got it for a song on eBay. My guess was because the pictures were bad and there was little to no description of the pen. It was a gamble that paid off -- it's a beautiful pen and a very nice writer!

As for my pens: a Jinhao 8812 (Manufactum Night Blue) and a Pelikan Twist (Pelikan Royal Blue). It's cheap pen day at Guardy's, as it seems

[mehandiratta]

The pen in rotation today is Wality 70 T. It is a small sized demonstrator pen which is manufactured by Airmail. It is inked with Krishna Forget Me Not Ink. The nib is custom grounded to Fine Cursive Italic.

[FromTheNetherlands]

Waterman Apostrophe and Jinhao 599 for me today!

Both inked with Quink BL-BK

[Guardy]

Jinhao 8812 with Manufactum Nachtblau for my uni notes. Again.

 

Also my Lamy AL-Star with Standardgraph reed green, for headings, important words and definitions.

 

It's incredible how much those two inks clash. Should've taken a different brightly-inked pen.

Italix Captains Commission (med italic) cornflower

Jinhao 500, violet (fine italic) noodlers Baystate blue

Delta The Journal, dark blue marble (broad) sargasso sea
