My Pelikan M215 is my daily writer, but I also use a Stipula Etruria, Visconti Voyager Anniversary, and Tibaldi Impero regularly these days. Best,

David

My Pelikan M200 Citroenpern gets heavily used.

 

The other one I can think of is my Pelikan M400 White Tortoise

Ball-point pens are only good for filling out forms on a plane.

Lamy 2000 EF - I really can't say enough good things about this pen. I rank it on the same level as the Parker "51" in terms of overall design and utility - very well engineered and thought out on just about every level, and a truly timeless design.

A pen a day keeps the doctor away...

Hard to say. Actually easy to say. My Sahara, M800 and 51 Aero, each about 2-3 h each day. Honestly.

Mine is my Green Striped Pelikan M800.....perfection in my opinion.

That'd be mine too, if I had one.

 

My daily is a Retro 51 Scriptmaster Series II, fine, in Citron loaded with Caran d'Ache Amazon Green.

main default pen: oceanblue Lamy Al-star F, any blue ink

 

extra-curricular info:

default editing pen: black old-style Pelikan M250 M, Sailor RedBrown

default pen-case stable: 1. grey Pilot Decimo M, Herbin Vert Empire, 2. Lamy 2K EF, Pelikan Black Violet Homebrew, 3. dove grey P51 M, Noodler's Walnut.

favorite pet among equals: vista green P61 Fine-Medium, Waterman Teal Homebrew

 

These are since one week now established pen-ink combinations after extensive ink-pen switching around. The P51/Noodler's Walnut combo double-works as default Moleskine-taming tool until my Moleskine finally is finished, left and forgotten behind in the dust. The rest of my inks and pens will only be allowed the occasional glamorous guest appearance, until I change my mind that is...

My "go to" pen is my Parker 51.....and has been since 1973. The other is a newer Pelikan 200 gifted to me by a FPN member. Both are terrific, but the "51" is a sentimental favorite. For years it was my only fountain pen. Then it spent about 15 years lost in the back of a desk drawer. Once in a while, some new bauble takes its place for a few days, but I always go back to this smooth, old reliable friend.

If I had a job dealing with normal humans, my Pelikan 215 would be it, but my ATX gets that job. Lately I've been using a Marala 2 ED to break in and smooth the nib a lot.
