I’m in Japan and sketching a bit with my Sailor x Bungubox Norwegian Wood 1911L Realo (MF) with DeAtramentis Document Sepia.  I haven’t gotten to Bungubox yet but this pen attracted the attention of the representative at Shosaiken.  He was curious where I got it because he really liked green pens.

 

Very nice elite looking pen, and thank you for the tip on the De Atramentis Sepia. 😀👍

Today’s pen of the day is a Monteverde Mountains of the World Mount Fuji with 1.1mm stub nib. I filled it with Midori limited edition Navy today.

Today's main pen will be a Kaweco Perkeo Peony Blossom with a fine nib and Kaweco Summer Purple.

I’m using a new Montegrappa Elmo in Samarkand acrylic (a black, gold, and sky blue tortoise pattern) with an incredible Mark Bacas CSI medium nib, a joy to write with. It’s pictured in the link below (no affiliation).

Platinum President.  EF nib.  Waterman Serenity Blue ink.

The CS Belliver with a broad nib and Diamine Tudor Blue is getting used today.

 

Conway Stewart advertises the Belliver as perfectly balanced for writing. It is well balanced and has a length and girth that suits my hand well.

 

As fond of Onotos as I am, I find myself using the Belliver more than I expected.

I do like the Belliver's classic design.  What color did you get?  Any comments on the nib?

My pen is classic green. The nib on my Belliver, as are the nibs on all of my CS pens, great. I rate CS nibs very, very close to Onoto nibs (the greatest nibs available in my opinion) for smoothness and "write-ability".

FPR EF Ultra Flex Nib in JInhao 9016.  One dipped in Waterman blue and one dipped in Sailor #743.  Cosmo Snow notebook.  Very flexible.  On par with my Pilot 743 FA.

I will go with two days ago, since Ive been off the last two.  I used all 7 pens and am finding I am having a hard time restricting to just one A5 page.

Now that my 8th and 9th have arrived I guess I will be attempting to write two pages.

Leonardo Momento Zero in Alga green.

[seimodern]

Taccia Sabimidori in a Lamy 2000 OB, but how I wish it was in the new Lamy 2K pine version! 

 

For whatever reason, I don't respond well to Pilot's Syo-Ro or Ku-Jaku, but I am absolutely smitten by Sabimidori. It looks very different in different nibs, yet remarkable in each (from extra fine to OBB). I rarely find inks that delight me across the full range of nib widths, but this is apparently one of them.

Also: Taccia Umemurasaki in a Lamy 2000 Dark Amber.  Ume Muresake is another new favorite. . . it's about as close a replacement I have been able to find for my beloved MB Homage to Hadrian. (Why oh why did I only buy 2 bottles of that one?!). Not the same by any means, but they appeal to me in a similar way.

 

Alas the photo really doesn't do the richness of these colors justice...

Emptied one pen and inked two others.  Emptied, cleaned out, and put away my Pilot Mu.  Filled a Parker 45 with Noodler's Kiowa Pecan, and my Montblanc Noblesse with De Atramentis Document Cyan.

 

Most of my favorite inks these days are De Atramentis.  I have plenty of Noodler's but hadn't used any for quite a while.

Today’s pen is a Jinhao x750 Shimmering Sands with a Nemosine 1.1mm stub nib filled with a sample of KWZ Doldam ink.
