Three inked this week for holiday notes and Journaling:

 

A 1977 Vintage "Seagul" make it the former USSR. (Was a Christmas Present. Works well, not great)

 

A Rosetta with a Pendelton Point (italic works Great!!)

 

A Jinhao 1200 (another Christmas present. Works very well, suprised me)

Couldn't stand no inked pens. Now have my Yard-o-Led Viceroy Grand Victorian inked with Diamine Majestic Blue!

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.

That is one beautiful looking pen! Glad that you are enjoying it.

I've been using the Visconti Opera Elements fountain pen - 14k medium nib, with a cartridge of Private Reserve Sepia on board. This is probably the smoothest writing pen that I've ever owned - I've struggled to put it down, even after a new Edison Nouveau arrived just before Christmas.

I've been tinkering with my pens off and on all day...a nice, quiet NY's Day. I wrote with my Lamy Studio, a Lamy 2000, and I wrestled with my new Lamy AL-Star. It doesn't seem to be working correctly - it certainly doesn't feel like the Studio.The ink (Noodler's Bad Belted Kingfisher) was very pale and the lines quite thin for a medium nib. I emptied the pen and cleaned the nib, thinking it may have manufacturer oils in it, but this didn't make a difference. Really get miffed about stuff like this. Happily, my other FPs are working well.
