What Pens Are You Using Today?

[bahnstormer]

Hi Guys,

 

ive just found the forum and heres my first post!

 

the pens i use every day at work are as follows:

 

living permanently in my desk at work are: 3 parker jotters red, black and blue barrels with corresponding red, black and blue gel refills.

2 parker vector fountains with red and orange inks and 1 parker frontier filled with yellow ink. nothing special but my office hacks and nicer than the standard office issue bics.

 

travelling to and from work with me every day in my bag are 2 rolled gold converging lines capped parker 51 aeros, one blue-green, the other grey, with medium and broad nibs.

in my shirt pocket lives a mont blanc starwalker metrub ballpen and a new pilot capless retractable fountain pen which i picked up yesterday and am very happy with. the 14k nib is beautifully smooth and flexible.

 

i change pens constantly through the day depending on what colour i need and what sort of writing im doing. finer nibs for filling out forms, broader for scrawling quick notes when on the phone etc. or just having too many pens and looking for an excuse to use them

 

looking forward to exploring the forum!

cheers,

Paolo.

My standard carry pens are an Otho and a Pelikan Level 65, both loaded with black ink. The Otho uses short International cartridges and the Level holds a large quanity of ink. Many times a third pen in green, purple or turquoise is carried as I need to draw attention to details in sketches I do.
