What Japanese Pens are you writing with today?

[Pens Woods]

Sailor 1911 Large "Loch Ness" H-MF, ink Diamine 1864 Blue Black-- a joy to write with!

 

Sailor Pro Gear H-F (black rhodium trim), ink Noodler's Legal Lapis.

[Aramchek]

Platinum 3776 Balance 14K SF. A great nib and feed in a body that both looks and feels cheap. 

[GardenWeasel]

A Nakaya Neo-standard in aka-tamenuri and a Nakaya Portable in Kuro. 

 

[Linger]

Sailor King of Pen Ebonite 21k nib in M.

 

P h e n o m e n a l

[Ste_S]

Sailor Pro Gear Slim, Blue Green Nebula, Fine. Sailor Studio 941.

 

Was concerned that the feedback on this nib was perhaps a bit 'too' much, but have grown to love it.

Today it's a Taccia Miyabi Milky Way with a most interesting Fude nib by Marc Bacas

have to show off the new high capacity kop cartridge - 2ml of kiwa guro - no worries

[ENewton]

Sailor Pro Gear Slim, Purple Cosmos B, with Sailor Taisanji Yellow.

 

The nib is not quite wet enough for me to want to write pages with Taisanji Yellow, but to my surprise, I can underline in a paperback book without having the ink bleed through.

You can ask me this question everyday and my answer would be Custom 845 every time.

Sure, not mentioning the other few Pilot pens I own and use on top of that

[ethernautrix]

Everyday I use a Nakaya Piccolo Cigar, kuro-tamenuri (EF), and a Chinese pen (Moonman C2) with a Pilot #10 PO nib.

 

Also, a smattering of Japanese gel pens, notably Pentel EnerGel (cos I love the needle-point tip).

I received my first Pilot Pluminix yesterday - with the italic fine nib - and inked an empty Pilot cartridge with Herbin Vert Empire. I think the nib is great, especially for the price, but my hand didn't like the Pluminix grip. So I put the nib in a Pilot 78g that's been neglected because I'm not crazy about its medium nib (or any medium nib, generally). The look on the page is beautiful and I will definitely get one or two more Pluminix (plural? Pluminix? Plumini? Pluminixes?) with that nib. Unfortunately I don't have any other Pilots I can switch the nibs into.

You may already know this, but the Plumix (its name in the USA) nib fits in Metropolitans and Preras as well as 78G's.

[Sailor Kenshin]

My Platinum 3776 Bourgogne Century which has never been de-inked since I got it years ago....with a mix I call 'Century Red.'

 

A Sailor 1911 full size with DA Constitution chasing Papier Plume Streetcar Green.

 

And as always, assorted Preppys and Plumixes (Plumixi?)

Do you know if any other Pilot comes with the same nib as the Plumix/Pluminix F?

The models mentioned all use the same series of nibs, so, for example, an F nib on a Prera would be the same as an F nib on a Metropolitan or a 78G.

Gorgeous writing! Also such a good colour match between ink and pen!

Thank you! I returned to italic handwriting after 40 years of a semi-legible cursive scrawl. It was most appreciated by the pharmacists who had to interpret my prescriptions.
