So far, I have used my new Wing Sung 698 with Diamine Jack Frost. I will be swatching my new Kuretake ink, so the glass pen will make an appearance. I have 19! pens inked  at the moment, so I’m going to have a second post in here later today.

19 pens, that is impressive...I thought 4 is a lot. 🤣🤣🤣

  There’s folks with many more. I color with pens, so it’s like a medium sized crayon box, a few more than the basic rainbow.

Top 5 of 19 currently inked pens:

MontBlanc 144 IB, Herbin Orange Indien/ Wearingeul Frost

Sailor x Daimaru Central Rockhopper Penguin PGS mini, Sailor Wonder Blue

Parker 88 Place Vendôme IB, Diamine Golden Sands

Salz Peter Pan 18k gold filled filligree fine flex, Waterman Serenity Blue 

Pilot Silvern Dragon IB, Iroshizuku Kiri-Same

always looking for penguin fountain pens and stationery

I see why you have inked so many. I just write with mine.... but still have to ink more of my pens now. 👍

  You should definitely ink more, try a color you have but don’t often use. I also like writing in different colors with different nibs- something might look better using an italic broad, or fit better with a extra fine.

Waterman Hemisphere with Serenity Blue ink.  Nice shade of blue.

  Finally got my sick carcass out of bed, picked up the Asvine V169 F with Waterman Serenity/ Florida Blue (fever brain- don’t remember which bottle I used). This pen is finally starting to run out of ink after months of regular use. I definitely recommend vacuum fillers to anyone who needs a lot of ink. If I was still in school, this one would go to class or the library with me. I wrote out a grocery list in case I have to send my husband or use delivery. The paper is an 80 gsm lined crème A6 notebook whose brand name is a bunch of consonants but was shown being used with a fountain pen. I bought a pack of 36 a couple years ago and I really like them, one of the few papers that I use both sides of the page.

+1, love those pens.  👍😀

 

Yes, I know you do. I bought this WS630 after your post on October 3rd. when you compared the nibs of the X159, the 9019 and this one. This is truly an extraordinary pen!   I've got all of them now. Thank you.

Wait What ! 😲

How many do you have?  You have all three?  I'm falling behind!  I only have 2. 

I just put the Third one in the cart.  You can't have too many WS630s.

 

IMHO I think it compares favorably to the KOP
