What pens are we carrying today?

[Preacher Man]

Today I've used my Edison Herald in dark tortoise celluloid. It has a 1.1mm stub nib and is filled with Diamine Oxblood. It's one of my favorite pens.

^^Sounds like a good one, Preacher Man. Diamine Oxblood...

A nifty cartridge pen from the Yafa company, Italy:

Widebrim, that's a nice looking Yafa, the first one i've seen! What's it like? It is a good looking pen. Alan that's also a great looking Sheaffer. I'm using my Pelikan M800 today. It's got a .6mm cursive italic nib ground by Richard Binder. I use it a lot, it's one of my favorites
Here's a pic:

Right now, I'm carrying a gold and black lacquer Parker rollerball. This does, however, vary. Sometimes I carry a lignum vitae Cross ballpoint, a silver and black lacquer Cross ballpoint, or a blue Parker fountain pen with a medium nib. If I'm out camping, or something of the like where it might get knocked around a bit, I will turn to my Zebra F-701. My girlfriend thinks I'm slightly crazy.

Welcome to the asylum. :eeek:

I'll go get the straitjacket.

Today I'm carrying my gold Waterman, my Watmerman 52/Swan "Frankenpen", and my sterling silver mystery pen.

Grabbed up my Cross ATX with Waterman Blue today.

I guess that's a constant. My wife also thinks I'm crazy. She uses a plastic BIC always (arrrgggghhhh...)

Preacher Man, it's the only one I've ever seen. It writes smoothly, but the tines are a bit soft and can bend if too much pressure is applied, thus affecting ink flow.

Using this workhorse, cartridge Cross pen today. I didn't know that the company made such generic, heavy-duty fountain pens. It is well-balanced, but the fine point tends to scratch on lighter paper.

 

[Sylvesterd]

Very nice

And here's the above Cross' companion piece, so to speak, both given to me by a friend:

^A good fountain pen.

just a plain Jane Pilot loaded with Skrip Black

 

[Widebrim]

Skrip was the workhorse ink for many of us. And Pilots are good, Deacon.
