What Pens Are You Using Today 2020

[NumberSix]

Montblanc 146 (F) - Platinum Blue-Black

Sailor 1911L, Loch Ness (M) - Sailor Studio 442

 

 

 

Inking up the 146 today, I was going to use Pilot Blue-Black, but at the last second I went with Platinum instead. Both are delightful inks.

Montblanc Red Dean...It once was lost but now is found!!!

A Noodlers Ahab, with a bouncy steel nib that has a fine grade and perfectly polished tip. I have many (and much more) expensive fountain pens, but in terms of writing performance it's difficult to do better.

This is what I have now inked and using over different occasions

- I change daily in between the Pelikan and the Duofold

- the Visconti is when I want a black to make the difference to my texts 

- 51 and TWSBI are when on the go. Always loved to carry a fountain pen with me, now it is even more important with the Covid when sharing a pen turns not very safe 

 

epic mistake on the handwritten text attributing the 51 to Pelikan instead of Parker. Finally, it seems that I am too much Pelikan guy 🤐

These are frequent companions, who are on the rodizio.

I'm a big fan of Vintage Pelikans, but I know how to appreciate modern fountain pens.

A Nakaya in arai-shu with a medium nib that writes very much like a fine nib...even when compared to other Nakaya medium nibs, it writes much finer.  I like it!

I didn't know this brand, very beautiful! Is it a piston fill? Vintage?

Indeed it is a PIF= Piston Filler    and vintage with interesting reddish-brown pearl celluloid.

 

 Auerhahn translates to Grouse which is a game bird.

Na verdade, é um PIF = Piston Filler e vintage com interessante celulóide perolado marrom-avermelhado.

 

 Auerhahn se traduz em Grouse, que é uma ave de caça.

Thanks for the feedback. Did not know! I collect vintage piston filler from germany. I'll do a little research. Thanks. Regards
