I've got my Sailor Sapporo filled

with Pelikan Brilliant Black,

Very nice writer, and I am very suprised at this pen because

most Asian nibs tend to be very stiff,

while this pen is erring on a (I'm stretching this a little)

semi-flex.

 

Jonta

I might just put some sort of witty comment here.

Or I might just use a little dose of good ol' irony.

Everyday, always for me it is one of my beautiful Esties, Yesterday I used my beautiful Green J with Noodler's Forest Green (shown in this thread, post #6405) Today I am using my beautiful Blue J with a Firm Broad #9968 nib and Noodler's Blue. Esties are perfectly functional, perfectly beautiful and I'm perfectly happy. I feel no need to roam from my beautiful Estie-land.

Trying to rescue and restore all the beautiful Esties to their purpose.

Heading out the door this morning with 4 pens:

 

Aurora Optima, black, F nib - blue ink

 

MB 146, f nib - black ink

 

Visconti Van Gogh, m nib - green ink

 

Haolilai Gold CEO, f/m nib - red ink

 

Of course, I haven't made it out the door yet, so the OC tendencies may still come into play...

"Here was a man who had said, with his wan smile, that once he realized that he would never be a protagonist, he decided to become, instead, an intelligent spectator, for there was no point in writing without serious motivation." - Casaubon referring to Belbo, Foucault's Pendulum.

An Artus (pre-Lamy, Lamy) with a steel '50-60's Geha OB semi-flex, 15 degree cut nib. I've not got to Lamy to get my Artus nibs fixed.

 

I had the Geha nib laying around.

I'd made a mistake at first by not setting the nib deep enough in the friction feed. It wrote a few words and dried up. Now it works just fine, I am happy with it.

How ever once I get to Lamy, I'm going to have to find a pen for that great steel nib.

 

 

Some Artus have screw in nibs...all Geha's do too, but this came with out it's screw in feed.

Ransom Bucket cost me many of my pictures taken by a poor camera that was finally tossed. Luckily, the Chicken Scratch pictures also vanished.

Montblanc Starwalker that I received for my birthday from my wife and mom-in-law. Writes very smooth, though I still suspect it of being highly overpriced.

the pen is the window into the writer's soul
