What Pens Are You Using Today 2016

[mallymal1]

My latest pen, a Karas Kustoms Fountain K in copper...seen here with my EDC pocket pen the Kaweco Brass Sport.

 

 

 

Talk about heavy metal! The Copper weighs in at around 93.5 grms, while the svelt Kaweco is a mere 43 grms. Both great for the pocket and the bag. The background is a wonderful Chic Sparrow Creme Classic, which arrived at the same time as the Karas Kustom pen. Very, very happy to be using both of them today.

 

I know it's so predictable, but yes, I inked the Copper pen with...Diamine Ancient Copper. Natch.

Thanks for that. I tried a search and it didn't come up with anything.

 

I like the darker shaded greens and blues. This one looks superb. I bet it shades really well from that togi nib.

That's a nice looking pen.

 

What sort of nib is that? Gold/steel? Custom made?

Thank you, da vinci.

 

It is an Ambitious gold plated nib.

I just stare in awe at all the comments. Not because there are so many, but because at all the beautiful and nice pens you have. (Me being a kid means no MB's here!) I guarantee you I dont have a single vintage pen (Ok, maybe my cross classic century II from Ireland might be a little old, but not vintage.)

 

Today, I Use a Platinum 3376# Century Chartres Blue w/ Rhodium trim and Black Parker Quink.

Pilot CH 912, SU nib, inked with Iroshizuku Kon-Peki. Got it today. Mixed feelings...

The pen in rotation is Waterman Kultur ( fine nib) and it is inked with Diamine Majestic Blue. The pen is absolute wet writer and the ink has a beautiful stunning golden sheen. I love this ink.

The thought inspiration for today comes from Ambrose Bierce, an Amercian writer and critic. And theme for the thought is anger.

The pen is a absolute lovely wet writer but has problem with hard starts. ( whether its ink or pen I have to determine that) And I wonder why it is not listed on Waterman webpage and I got this pen via my friend whose girl was travelling to France. It is easily available in France in many stationary stores.

The ink is just plain gorgeous, love the flow, the lubrication, the colour and top of that all, the massive sheen.

Great post...once again.

 

I've just been to my Diamine stash, and discovered that I am out of Majestic Blue...but not for long.
