What Pens Are You Using Today 2019

A TWSBI Eco with a Needlepoint grind and added cutouts by a nibmeister. Makes Kon-Peki ink a tad bit darker, and a far lovelier shade of blue, in my opinion.

* Vintage Pilot Elite F with Robert Oster Tranquility

Need to try the KWZs in some wetter pens to really show them off, I think.

I've already posted my EDC, but thought I'd share the "my pens vs my bosses pen" photo. Whenever I need something signed I hand him one of my pens, he throws his hands up and says "nope, too expensive- I'll break it."

 

Here's a picture of what he's happy to use vs my EDC. As long as it writes it's all he wants!

I hope I don't run into your boss in Toronto, because I do the same thing sometimes: write with a parker refill sans any kind of body whatsoever.

 

I like your pen case, by the way!

Maybe it's a more common occurrence than I thought Thanks- the case is from Van Der Spek leather.

That's a pretty pen you've got there!

 

Today for me it's been a Pelikan M200, green marble (the one with the Bayer logo that my friend gave me a few years ago as a joke -- not realizing what a 1990s era M200 is worth, since she got it on Freecycle!), currently set up with the IM nib from my second M200 Café Crème (with diluted 4001 Brilliant Black); and the TWSBI 580-AL, B nib (with Akkerman Dutch Masters Ruisdael's Stormachtig Blauw.

2. Striated Blue Pelikan M405, EF nib -- Edelstein Tanzanite

3. Cobalt Noodler Creaper, flex nib -- Noodler's Heart of Darkness

TWSBI ECO-T <B> with Organics Studio Santiago's Sea Blue. Pain in the neck to fill, as all OS sheening inks are, in my experience. End result is worth it though.

TWSBI Eco - 1.1 stub nib. Ink: deAtramentis Adular Blue

Wing Sung 3008 - M. Nib Ink: Green food coloring with vegetable glycerine

[Jerome Tarshis]

1. Parker 51 Demi, medium nib, Pelikan 4001 black, which isn't newsworthy because Parker 51s are my favorite pens.

 

2. Monte Rosa (a Montblanc sub-brand) 042, I don't know the nib designation but the line is fatter than the medium 51's line, also Pelikan 4001 black. This pen is newsworthy because I haven't inked it for several years. Good to be reminded of what splendid, bouncy nibs Montblanc was making in the 1950s.

Sheaffer Imperial, M nib, R&K Scabiosa. Scabiosa is definitely one of my new favorite inks, and it shades so prettily with that nib. Plus, it's just a really solid pen. Inlaid nibs are fancy.

Platinum 3776 Century, Soft Fine nib, Pelikan 4001 blue-black. The pen would be perfect if it weren't such a bone-dry writer - though it admittedly does handle the very dry blbk just about as well as any other ink, which is nice. The Soft nib is also the ONE nib I'd like a little less feedback on, but it's a pretty nice nib nonetheless.

Geha 780 vintage pen, Fine-ish nib, Pelikan 4001 blue-black. Has a nice, flexy nib that I rarely actually take advantage of - but it IS a nib - the only nib like that I have - that's actually good for speedy, fluid writing with some added flexy flair.

Mentmore Autoflow vintage pen, M nib, Pelikan 4001 blue-black. Still needs some nib work to finally get the tines aligned a bit better, but it's a really nice writer already, and extremely nicely balanced.
