What Pens Are You Using Today?

Sheaffer Imperial at one desk, Waterman Phileas at the other. Lamy Safari on the job site.

Just got a red Parker 45 with a B nib from Richard Binder. Inked it up with Diamine Monaco Red and wrote big. Pretty nice, even legible--for me. Working on a manuscript with that pen and ink combo made rereading easy, but for letters today I used my Namiki Falcon, M nib, with a Namiki Blue Black cartridge. Some of my pen pals prefer looking at tame, dignified inks.

Today it's been my (new from the Dallas pen show) Teal Parker 51 Aero fine with Caran d'Ache Carib Blue and my Lamy 2000 with Diamine Med Blue

Today, a black M215 with Binder 14K F and Sailor Blue Black, as well as a Royal Blue OMAS Paragon with Sailor Blue. Nice... Best,

David

Edson..........le in silver with the ogb nib. Really like this pen and took years to find it

[Deca]

Parker 100, fine, with Noodlers Blue for making some additions to lecture notes on the presidency and Sailor 1911, medium, with Sailor Brown for making some notes on the "theologico-political problem" for a journal article I'm working on.

[PAKMAN]

I just used my P51 to work a crossword and my 2000 to write in my journal.

Dear Pen Nut

You have such a clever ikon-y thing-y!

 

I have been using my two Danitrios both with a stub nib:

 

Mikado with a home made mixture: 2 parts Herbin Olive verte : 1 part Herbin Lie de Thé (Not a fabulous colour, but it matches a rubber stamp ink and I have been using it for envelopes.)

 

And The Densho with PR Chocolate

[gregkoos]

Green Esterbrook, with medium general wrtitting nib, blue Quink. This is one of the nicer nibs of the Esterbrrok line up. Very smooth feel to the pen, all-in-all everything you would want from a fountain pen.

[funzoneplanet]

Today I'm going to use my Acme LE Elvis pen converted into a fountain pen.

[Gojira]

Cheap pen day since I had to go out into the field:

 

Hero 329 and Sheaffer Award (medium) filled with Black Quink

Sheaffer Imperial filled with Pelikan Royal Blue

[Taki]

My blue purse size Estie dollar pen sporting 9550 nib, filled with a mix of PR Midnight Blues and Waterman Florida Blue.

[LouisA]

Sailor Professional Gear with Medium Fine nib and a Montblanc 146 with a Fine nib. The Sailor has Sailor ink while the MB has Pelikan 4001 Blue/Black

[PAKMAN]

Today my main writing instrument will be my newly aquired c1920s Waterman #7 Red Ripple with red band and red keyhole fine flex nib filled with Diamine Mediterranean Blue.

 

In the pen case with me today are also:

Parker 51 Teal/gold cap fine nib with Caran d'Ache Carib Blue

Pelikan 400 Soverign Blue Stripe fine nib with Cobalt Blue

Parker 45 Burgundy ef nib with Noodlers Burgundy

 

To Journal tonight my Lamy 2000 also with Diamine Med blue.

[donwinn]

Today I am using my Wality 70D F eyedropper, and my Reform Kalligraph F, both with Noodlers la Coleur Royale. I brought in the Kalligraph because a coworker was interested in purchasing one, and wanted to try one first. It sat in my pen cabinet for two months, still inked, and wrote first time without skipping. And she wonders why I won't sell her mine!! :roflmho:

[jonro]

Today's pen lineup includes:

 

Pelikan m800 filled with NI Black. I've been using Aurora Black a lot lately. Decided to mix it up.

Waterman Liaison filled with Florida Blue. The Liaison is one of my few pens with a medium nib (most of the others are fine).

Visconti Van Gogh maxi (musk green) filled with PR Avocado Green

Today my pocket cradles a silver "geometric" Duofold from 1939 and its companion pencil. The pen has a bellyful of Pelikan blue-black, and gives every appearance of enjoying the outing.

Today, while inputting all my 2006 receipts in time for my accountant to file my late 2006 taxes, I used a pen that just arrived in the mail: an Omas 2000 (fine nib) which I first filled with Noodler's Luxury Blue, then rinsed out and re-filled with PR DC Blue (liked this pen/ink combination much better).

 

Love the Omas...it's made dreary work so much better...
