What Pens Are You Using Today?

[paolino_paperino]

Today is a Sheaffer Touchdown Imperial day. Those Sheaffer nibs with their upturned point certainly are smooth...

[ThirdeYe]

I ran out of ink in my Black Carbonesque Pilot Vanishing Point today, which was filled with Pilot Blue-Black, and I have been using the following at work:

Sheaffer NoNonsense M (black/silver) - Sheaffer Skrip Blue (vintage)

Pilot Varsity M (black)

Pilot 78G F (black/gold) - Noodler's Black

Platinum Preppy 05 (red) - Noodler's Nikita

Parker 45 Flighter F (vintage) - Montblanc Toffee Brown

[vinper]

Cross Century II rollerball for my check register and appointment book--stubby Cross Autocross leather mini-pen for quick notes while reading and Cross sterling silver Townsend FP for making out some greeting cards. vinper

My two inked Nakayas (a Portable and a Piccolo, both clipless, with a fine nib and a broad stub nib respectively), but today used sparingly as these both have inks that I've become tired of color-wise. I need to flush them and pick different colors.

 

Otherwise, it has been a vintage day:

 

Parker 51 black vac with a lovely silver cap, fine nib, Herbin Poussière de Lune. A classy, classic pen; I adore this ink.

 

1950s celluloid Montblanc 144, flexible OBB nib, Herbin Bleu Nuit. Have I mentioned how awesome this nib is? Every time I write with this pen, the clouds part, glowing angels descend, and there is much singing and harp-plucking.

Pelikan 800, filled with Visconit Blue.

 

I can't believe this one didn't make the cut of my four keeper pens in the "If You Could Start Over" thread. Glad I don't have to settle for just four pens!
