Montegrappa NeroUno Linea inked with Omas black. Ive had this pen shelved for a while. Not sure why. It really sparkles in the light.

I'm using a Dasi Superflex at work.

Dasi are an Australian brand and stopped making pens in 1976... yet I bought mine from a local pen shop in 2003. An email from the son of the bloke who started Dasi suggests it might have been NOS. Nice pen though.

That’s a nice line right there! Is that a 1.5mm Jowo? I have a 1.1mm but it’s not nearly as crisp as your 1.5mm.

Parker 45, Y (OF) nib, with Califolio Gris de Payne.

Thought I was going to have to put the Noodler's Charlie with Noodler's Blue Ghost into use earlier today -- things went wonky when I tried to log on (got this weird error message saying my password was wrong, and thought I was going to have to figure out a new one -- and then write it down in my password notebook.... :-( ). And then out of the blue, things just worked fine again.... Go figure.

I hate modern technology....

Bought this pen a long time ago, never really bonded with it, and gave it away a few years ago. Then I forgot about all about it. Yesterday it found its way back to me. I immediately cleaned it, brought it back into shape and used it for a while at work today. It's got a 585 14k nib.

 

_Any_ kind of downward pressure will make this nib very scratchy. When I ease up on it, it writes quite nicely except on smooth paper, on which it has severe skipping issues. This made the pen unusable with my Foray notebook. On less-smooth paper and when handled with a feather-light touch, it writes beautifully (though compared to all my other pens, the nib produces significantly more sound). It's quite a wet nib, so I might have to resort to a somewhat drier ink. Perhaps some experimentation with different inks will also reduce the skipping issue on coated paper.

 

This pen is better than I remember it to be, which is a pleasant surprise.

Montblanc 149 today

[pajaro]

Montblanc 164R. I think I have finally become tired if finding the sweet spot on the fountain pens. I am turning for a while to some nice ballpoints. Old eyes, lining up the nib is too much hassle.
