What will you write with today?

Time to resurrect this old thread, as we've lost a few pics / details of some class pens since 'the change'...









I particularly love this Pilot Capless fountain pen with its unique retractable nib, just like a ballpoint.

Carbonesque - read looks like carbon fibre - with rhodium-plated trim and rhodium-plated 18k 750 gold nib, it writes as smooth as silk. Another truly wonderful pen.

More details of the spec can be found here.

Lenovo KU-0225 :'(

Or my Parker IM fountain pen if paper is required.

Franklin-Christoph 19 with medium stub nib - a superb American made pen with the stub adjusted by their nibmeister. Diamine Jet Black for me.

To be perfectly honest: Uni-ball Signo 207. Black ink 0.7mm ball.

A very nice grippy pen, however if the paper you are writing on is 'constipated' (lacking fibre i.e. smooth), it does have a bad habit of skipping. I sat in an exam in June with 3 of these pens and an old Staedler, very nearly a disaster as the exam paper paper was smoother than Izal bog-roll!

Faber-Castell Loom filled with Iroshizuku Asa Gao today. The nib on the Loom is very smooth, I like it a lot.

My daily weapon; a Parker Sonnet Cisele filled with Akkerman Royal Blue.
