What Japanese Pens are you writing with today?

[Ste_S]

Platinum Plaisir, 03 nib with the Platinum Black cartridge. Note taking with it at work, and it makes me wonder why I buy more expensive pens (that aren't speciality pens). 

Smooth, hint of pencil like feedback and pleasant flow; all you need for an everyday pen.

This is a great outlook on FPN usage.

I am not clear though about  what you mean by  speciality pens, can you elaborate on what these are?

Essentially where you're buying a pen for the nib (specialist grind, soft nib etc) and/or the body (urushi, celluloid, ebonite etc).

Pilot Justus today!

Namiki Emperor Goldfish, today and every day :) when I first bought it I inked it with iroshizuku shin kai... and I've liked it so much that I've never put anything else in this pen (my other pens all rotate inks).

Traveling so only have one pen, a Taccia Miyabi Bokashi Lava with broad nib. Nakabayashi Tetsukon ink.

nakaya decapod kuro tamenuri with a flexible soft fine from john mottishaw.  platinum blue black.

Sailor KOP Pro Gear with B nib and Sailor Blue ink for my notes and the like. A Sailor High Ace Neo 1.0mm calligraphy with Yonaga for some letter writing. Platinum #3776 Century with Music nib with Sailor Ink Studio 740 for some inky fun. Pilot Parallel 6.0mm with a variety of ink for some experimentation and teaching with a friend who came over to play with pens and ink and tea.

Working at my desk today, so using the same two big guys that have been on my desk since their arrival a couple of weeks ago.  I mean, REALLY big guys with huge ink capacities.

Sailor Lecoule, Sailor Black.

 

Quite like these pens, some of the finishes in the stone collection are really nice, considering the price. The Pearl one looks like Pearl, something that’s not captured in photos. The steel MF nib, whilst a little plain, writes really nicely. 
 

Tempted to start collecting them.

Eboya Natsume in Nichibo w medium-fine nib. My primary month-of-June fountain pen. 

[mke]

Try to identify them. 😉

These are more or less the pens in my bag - every day.

I thought that I have  identified  the Waldmann Silver 100 year LE , but I  am not so sure that I  know it  that well. Perhaps it is  the 4th from the left.

@samasry

You are right.

 

From left to right:

from Germany: Waldmann Tango ballpen, OttoHutt mechanical pencil, Montblanc 149, Waldmann 100th anniversary LE 2018, Waldmann Precieux Lines in vermeil (special request edition),

from Japan: Sailor KoP, Sailor 1911L Mitsukoshi LE, Pilot 823, Sailor ProGear gold and silver trim, and Platinum 3776, old version.

[GardenWeasel]

My eyes kept getting drawn to the Sailor 1911L Mitsukoshi LE.  Nice!

[Inkyways]

Sailor Pro-gear Slim .

[ENewton]

Sailor Pro Gear Slim, Purple Cosmos (B)

 

If brush pens count, Kuretake #8

[peroride]

Sailor Pro Gear Naginata Togi MF

Platinum #3776 Bourgogne with Soft Fine nib and Platinum Blue Black.

 

It took me a few goes to get one that worked, but it's been worth the wait. I don't really flex the nib as such, however the bounce and feedback make it a nib full of character. Love writing with this pen.

Nakaya Piccolo in Shu with a Mottishaw crisp cursive italic nib ground from a BB nib.

 

In the Summer, my shirts - mostly either Aloha shirts or polos - have shallow pockets, so my daily carries are small pens. Nakaya Piccolos and Kaweco Al-Sports, are preferred.
