That's absolutely beautiful, Shahan, very classy.

That's a great looking nib, Richard. My Arco is in for fine tuning and I miss it!

Thanks Leo. I just received a Pelikan Script 1.0 in the mail and have been messing around with it. I'll be posting a review and some writing samples soon. It's my first italic and I have to say they are very cool.

I've been using my Sailor 1911 Realo (B) pretty much nonstop since I got it and really like the pen. Both the Japanese pens I now have are outstanding and really live up to their reputations for quality and superb nibs. I'll definitely be picking up some more down the line.

I haven't taken any pics of my recent acquisitions yet, but you can see what the Realo looks like here:

John I have a couple of Pilots and Platinum FPs from Japan and I too really like the way they write. I just picked up a Platinum FP which has a needle nib and it writes very smoothly and very small!!!

nickriebe · 28 June 2010, 12:40 PM

Think I'll use the Lamy Blue for Monday... Waiting for my ink order to arrive so i can test out the other colors!

Taffi Abernathy · 28 June 2010, 12:46 PM

If anyone is after Pilot products, www.stationeryart.com is a great seller and they appear on ebay as "Winning Pen." I carried a ladies black Cross pen and pencil set in my handbag today but never had cause to use it.

Hello Faith, how is your weekend going? Any more blind dates you needed to write off with your Cross pen?

I carried a Cross pen in law enforcement, talk about history and the tickets I wrote with it. Fond memories.

Believe it or not, no dates this weekend (although I saw two vict . . . I mean, dates during the week). It was nice to get out with girlfriends. BTW, what happened to your Cross pen?

Packed away with my law enforcement gear.

That was given to me by a girlfriend long ago, 1981.

Today I'm carrying my MB 149 75th anniv Special edition EF nib, with J. Herbin Poussiere de Lune ink. (not the same colour as in the picture, a bit darker purple).

Lion · 28 June 2010, 01:25 PM

I actually left the house today and forgot to carry a pen, luckily I didn't need one!!!

nickriebe · 28 June 2010, 01:26 PM

Thanks for the link Faith! I really like those Pilot capless FP's! (I think)... hmmmm, i see a few more Lamy's to add to my collection as well.

I tell ya, Leo, the Pilot Custom 823 is as smooth as silk and holds a lot of ink as well. It also has a really slick vacuum/plunger fill mechanism that works like a charm. I really love that pen. And I would suggest anyone shopping Pilots start at nibs.com. After Mr. Mottishaw gets through with a pen, you're guaranteed a winner.

All blacked out today... still waiting for my ink order!!

TattooedGQ · 30 June 2010, 12:12 AM

Nick loves his Safari's.....granted so so i. What nib do you use??

nickriebe · 30 June 2010, 12:27 AM

Thats right! medium nib for now... they work well for my style of writing I guess. Still new to FP's so im leaning towards a Fine nib eventually.

TattooedGQ · 30 June 2010, 12:35 AM

Gotcha, my Safari is an Extra fine.....I love it for general note taking at work. Do you think the Aluminum Safari's are worth getting?

2careless · 30 June 2010, 07:50 AM

Using the snake pen today, it has a juicy B nib inked with J. Herbin Bleu Nuit.

I have one! Its the Lamy Al-Star (aluminum) with blue ink... got one of my inks in the mail today (MB Bordeaux) very nice looking in the bottle. Dont have any converters yet so cant try it in the pen!

jtmwood · 1 July 2010, 07:17 AM

For me today it was my Sterling Silver Montegrappa.
