What Pen Are You Waiting For In The Mail 2018

[biancitwo]

Platinum #3776 Century Bourgogne (SF)

Hope you share your experience with this pen. I've had one about a month. I like it, but that is a very fine nib. It is much finer than my Sailor Pro Gear Slim EF, and my Pelikan M600 EF. The Pelikan and Sailor EFs are comparable. They are also quite wet. The 3776 Chartres SF is fairly dry. It is currently filled with Kon Peki. I've been writing on Franklin Christph paper.

 

I think you will like the pen. I do. But, I will opt for a wider nib on my next one.

Yes. I did go through some agony when trying to choose F, SF, or M. It just arrived and I havn't inked up yet but I'm hoping for a winner!

I just used mine for several pages today. I also used a Pelikan M600 with a Pendleton Brown italic for several pages. The Pelikan was smooth as silk and I could keep writing indefinitely. The 3776, with SF, took more effort in order to write with a light hand and reduce the feedback. I still enjoyed it. It just takes more effort. Also, I am far more accustomed to writing with wider italic nibs. My other EF nibs, other than the 3776, are vintage Pelikans and wonderful. No effort is required for them, only enjoyment. My italics are smooth with no feedback. They require no effort.

Woot, just won an ebay auction for 3 PaperMate folded-nib school pens! I already have a pink/purple and bid just to get the other two, a red/black and a yellow/red/green/blue 'parrot'. Hopefully, they'll write as well as the one I have.

Monteverde Icona pen, red barrel. It will be my first Monteverde.

Has anyone had Ryan Krusac to make a pen? Something was wrong with my Cocobolo Legend 16 purchased during the Atlanta Pen Show. I went to the Triangle Pen Show particularly to ask him about the pen. I gave him the pen for repair or replacement. Since then, I have emailed twice. When I gave him the pen I neglected to ask him how long it would take. I have only had pens already made and so this is my first one. I have emailed him twice but maybe, as a video made and posted on Youtube within the last couple years, he is on the Pen Show trail. Yet, I really don't know and wondered whether anyone else has had this experience. In any case, I am waiting on a Ryan Krusac Legend 16 Cocobolo Fountain pen Extra-fine point nib. Can hardly wait since it is my main everyday writer. I purchased some Akkerman ink during the Triangle Pen show to go especially in it and neither the box or bottle have been opened yet waiting.

I just ordered a GVFC Tamitio. It was on for $60 off and I bit.

Monday a new batch of Jinhao 993 should arrive. After having gifted almost all my Jinhao 992s and 993s, 7 or 8 of them, I bought a couple more, but only the shark model, so I can distiguish which is which by color.

My first Pelikan - M150

My first Pelikan - M150

I loved my first Pelikan, an M400 from the 1980s. I bought it from Rick Propas. I still love Pelikan fifteen pens or so later.

This year Ive been strictly working down my wish list. Ive only bought one impulse buy.

 

Right now Im waiting for a flexy Swan SF230.

And I have a friend sitting on my US buys for the next couple of weeks when hopefully I can have him send them over: a lovely large flexible Sheaffer Self-Filling No3, and a flexible oversize Diamond Point flat-top.

I'm waiting for a Sailor Pro Gear Sky Blue that has been off at Linda Kennedy's getting some nib repair.

I know fountainpenlady has now received her beloved back (we've talked about it!). I, in turn, am semi-patiently awaiting a coffeeburl L16 from Ryan. He finished it Saturday, and I paid for it Saturday night. I hope to receive it by the end of the month, so I can use it as the last pen for my #30inks30Days challenge. Attached is Ryan's photo to me:

I just ordered a Nakaya desk pen in aka-tamenuri, with a broad nib to be modified to cursive italic. It is coming from John Mottishaw. I have been fascinated by Nakaya for some time. The best news is that the pen is in stock. The nib should be in in a couple of weeks. I won't have the many month wait, only a few weeks.

Aurora Tantalum black ops in broad. This is my first Aurora and Ive been eyeing it for a long time. I have a pretty fun sub section of stealth pens in my collection and this pen should fit right in! Pretty excited about it! I got an amazing deal as well so that was impossible to say no to. Photo courtesy of Dan Smith. Ive been venturing deeper into pen county these days. Got my first Pelikan not long ago and now my first Aurora. Where will the madness end!? Lol

In the next few days I should get a tiny vintage KaWeCo Sport 11 piston filler with a 14ct flexy open BB nib. That will complement my other vintage little KaWeCo Sport V16 piston filler with a great stubby B nib.

These tiny nibs of the Sport 11 and Kaweco xx3, although fragile, are splendid little beasts. I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun.

Thank you! Esp. for 35€ it was a steal.
