Nice Saturday at home, using my newly acquired Blue Parker / Carltonware deskset with a Parker Duofold deskpen in Lapis Blue and Diamine Mediterranean Blue ink. Probably won't go anywhere to use a pocket pen today, so I will just take the chance to enjoy one of my favorite desk pens!

Just received this week a Parker 51 (vac style), newly restored, and writes like butter. This will be THE pen this week and beyond I think.

I received my Danitrio Tamenuri Mikado from Kevin a few days ago and I haven't wanted to write with anything else since. The pen, as many of you know, is enormous and yet it is light and shaped so that it fits into my fairly small hand beautifully. The nib is a "soft" fine. I've filled it with Noodlers Red Black (which approximates the color of the pen). I am an over the top left hander and the ink flow is such that I find no problem with smudging even using some pretty slick Clairefontaine paper.

 

I chose the clipless version since the pen really is too big to fit comfortably in a shirt pocket. The only marking on the pen (other than on the two-tone 18k gold nib) is the signature in Kongi of the artist in gold color on the section.

 

Maybe in time I'll tire of using it, but I wouldn't bet that way.

 

Now the question is what to do with the other 200 pens in my collection.

 

Since this is my first post, I'm not sure the image will show up. If it does, you should note that it is Kevin Cheng's, not mine.

I bought a few monnths ago a Nakaya Tamenury Writer long with clip with a medium fine flexible nib. It is very similar, in fact almost identical but mine has a very small converter. I contacted Nakaya for a larger converter and the answer was a polite "no no". I write at least two hour a day and the Sailor Naginata with a Togi nib ( which I live very much) has the same problem: a very small converter. I use a MB 149 and a Pelikan 800 but I love the long configuration of the Nakaya. Judginfg by the looks of your Danitrio it has a piston filled and it should be large enough. If it so, I would like to get in touch with Kevin about buying one. Thanks for your time and a reply. Vervavolant

Today, My "Duke Columbus 226" fp, will be in use!

Today I'm ending a Parker Frontier Blue with Parker Sapphire and a Waterman Expert II with Waterman Florida Blue, both medium, and I'm starting with a Stipula La 91 0.9 italic with Stipula Sienna (terra di Siena). Maybe I'll add another pen, or a dip pen. I have to decide which. This is the daily matter of every collector.

Mont Blanc Writers Edition - Voltaire M Nib (Mont Blanc Black Ink)

[Dean]

Jonro,

 

I decided on a firm fine nib. I debated on the flexi, but doubt I'll get much flex with it from everyday use and I wanted to firm to use with multi-copy forms.

[Readymade]

Using a newly-acquired grey Lamy Safari with Broad nib. Waterman Havana ink. Am surprised at how smooth the broad nib is! Wasn't expecting it since the Medium one was a bit scratchy.

Today, my lemon yellow Bexley 10th Anniversary (with a fine nib) made it back into rotation, and I'm glad it did. I had forgotten how much I enjoyed writing with that Doric-inspired, perfectly balanced, big-nibbed Bexley. Oh, and I'm kind of on a PR Lake Placid Blue kick at the moment, so that's what it's filled with.

[funzoneplanet]

Today: Pelikan Silvexa w/ Sensa black ink cartridge.

[kazoolaw]

51 Flighter with PRSSB for precise thought

 

Parker 51 Flighter

 

 

Visconti Aida with THE Penman Sapphire ink withKinneyed cursive italic nib for sweeping generalizations.
