Here's what I have inked right now. My plan is to get down to only having 3 or 4 inked at a time and rotate them. As I write each one dry, I'll put it away and bring out a different pen. I'm also going to try and do the same thing with my inks.

It's a great plan.

 

Wonder how long it will last.

Today, I have been using a Parker 45 Imperial. It has an 'X' nib, and is inked with J. Herbin's Bleu Myosotis.

Thank you, da vinci.

 

It is an Ambitious gold plated nib.

Thank you. Has a good size ratio to the pen

The pen and ink are a great match. Helen.

 

Can I ask...how does the Ahab perform? It looks really good.

The flex nib on this particular Ahab has been nice to write with; nice ink flow; no skipping. On my Ahab Vulcans Coral I had to swap it for a med. nib. After tinkering with the nib & feed, I was still having flow problem. With the med. nib it writes beautifully.

Thank you very much for that, Helen. I think I shall add an Ahab to my shopping list.

Levenger True Writer - Broad Nib. Lamy Dark Violet. This morning thought it was time to put this pen to work, having not used it in quite awhile. Follow up on a study I've already started on Kingdom Keys.

Two in use today, somewhat contrasting pens. Aussie Onoto 21 from about 1960 and Dupont Montparnasse from 1993. Inks are Waterman Tender Purple and GvFC Cobalt Blue respectively.

 

 

The Onoto has a No 15 nib which writes beautifully. I am very pleasantly surprised by the pen, especially at the low price I was fortunate to pay. The Montparnasse has a medium nib which lays a thicker line than other European M nibs I have tried, although tine adjustment looks fine and it is certainly very smooth.
