Today so far it's been the Pilot Decimo, F nib, with Kon-peki; and the Azure Blue Pearl Speedline filler Parker Vacumatic, F/M nib, with vintage Quink Permanent Microfilm Black.

Later today, I'm going to have to use a non-PF though. I have a big drawing project and it's just easier to ink up the drawings with Pilot Uniball. This project has time constraints, so it's not the time to be playing around with what pen/ink works well.

Just inked up a Wearever Supreme Lever-Fill with a medium nib. Blue barrel with a white cap. It was NOS when I bought it about 8 years ago. Inked with Pelikan Royal Blue. This pen writes as smooth as butter, much better than some pens I have spent a lot of money on. Sorry, no pic tonight.

Monteverde Giant Sequoia M

Monteverde California Teal

[ENewton]

Also using a Monteverde, an Invincia Deluxe. It is probably my least favorite pen, but it's my only stub and I inked it to compare with a PSP cursive italic I bought recently.

Aurora 88K Aquila, discussed in here. Although a run of only 3000, it was not a permanent overlay on the existing pen but a slight redesign of the pen to fit under a slide-on gold-fillled sheath which is removed to fill the pen or see the ink window. The original piston seal seems to be working still and the M nib is straightforwardly good. Inked with S T Dupont's Royal Blue, a not atypical blue yet a good one in that group.

Franklin-Christoph Omnis #31 with Masuyama broad cursive italic nib filled with Diamine Soft Mint and a Lamy Safari pink with M nib filled with Iroshizuku Kosumosu (Cosmos pink).

Just arrived from the USA: Pilot Metropolitan Gold ZigZag M and Leopard F.

Nice in the hand, aluminium body but not too heavy, both nibs are very smooth!

[ISW_Kaputnik]

I'll probably use others, too, but there are these two Esterbrooks.

I used my Pelikan M600 green striated with Pelikan 4001 Royal Blue for studying Italian and for some bullet-journaling...

MB Hemingway M nib with Pilot Iroshizuku Ama-iro

Visconti Opera Master Demo F nib with Pilot Iroshizuku Tsuyu-kusa

Lotus Satin M nib with Diamine Lilac Satin

[magnus919]

I've been getting a lot of use out of my TWSBI 580AL (green) for the last couple of weeks. I've sort of expected the thing to crack by now, given all of its reputation, but it's held up over years of use so far. I quite like this pen.

[CraigR]

A late 1950's or early 1960's Sheaffer's Skripsert cartridge pen. Red plastic barrel with chrome cap. Stainless steel medium nib. Using Sheaffer's Red ink. I used a pen just like this in school when I was in junior high. This pen writes smoother than many of my more expensive pens. It has been in my collection for many years and is used regularly.
