What Pens Are You Using Today?

[Tom Aquinas]

Pilot Metropolitan, black with zig zags, filled with Iroshizuku Shin-ryoku. Doing some manuscript work.

My Parker Duofold (international, F) remains a very good daily writer. It's just so easy to bring to work and use for notes and little design scribbles (software; databases). Loaded with Parker Quink Blue.

 

The funny thing is... this pen was pretty much discarded by its previous owner. A friend of my parents, decluttering and throwing stuff out, gave the Duofold to my dad, who gave it to me. At first I was little huffy, as I didn't pick this one myself, it was too light, its nib is wet and almost a (boring) medium, my previous Parker had started leaking, boo, hiss, sputter.

 

But I was wrong. It's a great pen.

Looks like today it will be my glossy black Parker Sonnet, medium nib, with Skrip Blue.

#1: My Monteverde Prima blue loaded with a Waterman mix [3 parts Green and 1 part Blue/Black]. This was an impulse buy from the "12 Days of Christmas Sale" at the Fountain Pen Hospital. It recently returned from Georgia after a nib job by Mr. Pendleton Brown. It is a smoooooth writer.

 

#2: Parker 45--This is a family heirloom pen that I really like in my carry-around notebook. It writes very nicely on Rhodia paper.

 

#3: My rucksack pen: Lamy Yellow Safari, medium nib, Havana brown.

 

I have to admit I might be rewriting my "to do list" this morning just to dust off a pen or two.

Waterman Expert City Urban in grey! Beautiful pen and simple.

Twsbi 540 Demonstrator.

 

I have also used 3 separate ball points for my case notes. Does it mean I have a problem given that I used 5 or more pens a day for fun?

Still using my Lamys (I now own 3, thanks to my Uncle), but now in conjunction with a Pilot Coleto 5 gel ink pen, which arrived about an hour and a bit ago..

Parker 61 with Lamy Blue.

 

Required a quick dip into the ink bottle to jump start it; but it's skimming along nicely now. The Parker 61 is, as they say, a jealous pen.

Going with one of my favorites. My Momo Rose'. And Visconti Turquoise, classic.
