Impulsive Decision
Okay, now I'm blaming everyone on the pen sub-forum for talking about fountain pens. I went and pulled the trigger on a Visconti fountain pen which was on sale. It's the Opera Club Nordic Fijord fountain pen in Blue and it has a nice feel in my hand.....but when the wife asks I'll send her your way!!!

Did the same and "Nordic Fijord" is very appropriately named.

I suppose Leo you should start to condition your wifey that buying pens are cheaper than buying Rolexes, and definitely cheaper than going out for a drink

Hey Leo, congrats on the Visconti. I have two and I love them. I'm sure the Opera will serve you will for the rest of your life. Visconti makes excellent fountain pens.
