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.

That is one of the best looking pens in Visconti's offerings.

Congratulations!!!
