What Pens Are You Using Today?

[freehand]

Conklin Sapphire Blue flat-top (c. 1925) from Jake's Pens. And a fat, black Sheaffer vac-fill something or other with a wonderfully precise Triumph nib and no cap.

Seems to be the Salami OB again. Beyond making a couple of notes in between hammering the keyboard and hauling the dogs out to well never mind, I haven't had the time for much else.

[kreinhard]

Red Estie M2 with Noodler's Burma Road Brown. Tried the Estie J with Perle Noir but it flows like a tap.

For weeks it has been my Pilot Fermo (now imported to the US - I bought mine in Italy some time ago) fine nib with Noodler's Midnight Blue. My other pens must be getting jealous.

Today was the DuoFold Jr, fine italic filled with J Herbin violet pensee

[Breck]

Studying (still), so lots of notes

 

Marine Green Sheaffer Balance OS (0.8 mm Minuskin stub) - Montblanc Toffee Brown

Lamy 2000 (EF) - Sailor Nano Blue-Black. More like a dark turquoise - not the color I was expecting or hoping for. We'll see if I warm up to it.

[reprieve]

Delta Turchese Meraviglia Stantuffo, BB nib, Diamine Turquoise.

Delta La Citta Reale, B nib, Montblanc Toffee Brown.

Nakaya Ascending Dragon, medium flexible nib, R&K Alt Bordeaux.

Danitrio Densho Mt. Horai, fine nib, Iroshizuku Momiji.

Today is the last day for my Rotring 600 Medium. Tomorrow's arriving my Pelikan Pura Medium.

[Fuddlestack]

Gave a bunch their daily stroll: couple of Salamis, Hero M86 & 616, CS58, Sheaffer 444, Haolilai & a P45. My two P61s have gone on strike but I haven't got the time to unbung them. Truth to tell I've had a bellyful of these two, but they have personal value - wife & I did our degrees with them - so I'll not part with them.

 

I'd like to buy something nice, but I've got a week in Italy coming up and the wretched clients' cheque-writing pens seem to be dry.

Today I am using my Pelikan M1050 with an O3B nib and some Montblanc black ink loaded in.

[mori45]

A broad nibbed Pelikan M400 Tortoise with Iroshizuku Kon-peki and Fine nibbed Pelikan M200 with Waterman South Sea Blue. No matter what I seem to have inked, I always find myself reaching for the Pelikans.

[Bruno Taut]

A Pilot Lady Pearl 1700 from 1980 or so. A very nice smooth nib with a perfect flow. The ink is Noodler's Old Dutch.

 

[bigstick]

Today it"s the least frequently used member of the tribe: Esterbrook LJ with 2314-B nib inked with washable blue Quink.

[Freddy]

1997 Omas Ogival 557/S twitty bird yellow.....bb nib.....filled w/ Waterman blue/black.

[Jarrain]

Tonight I used my new, fresh from Ebay, hand-turned wooden pen. There is just something about wood that evokes emotion in me. Hmm, my dad was a carpenter... could that be part of it?

[djpyle]

Today I'm using:

 

1. Edison Pearl bulb-filler, F, Noodler's Golden Brown
   
2. Lamy 2000, BB, Noodler's Zhivago
   
3. Pelikan solid blue M805, F, Noodler's Navajo Turquoise
   

 

It's going to be a good day.

Today's pen is a mid 1960s vintage Navy Grey Parker 51 Aerometric with lusterloy cap inked up with Diamine Presidential Blue.

[kreinhard]

Today is the olive green NOS 1967 Parker 45 filled with Noodler's Burma Road Brown. It feels eerily like a felt-tip pen, and although it's marked "F" (for fine, I presume), it leaves a pretty wide, yet dry line. I think I'm going to try and find an extra fine tip to try in it.
