Montegrappa Extra Otto after working the nib again. Shelved this pen for about a month due to "bad luck" with it despite all the good luck numerology. Seems to be writing well now but still a tad dry with normal pressure.

I honestly don't even remember buying it.

Should I make it look silver again? Lol

If you're ok with the tarnished look, probably best to leave it be. I'm not a fan of the pantina philosophy overall but if it looks cool/interesting and you like it, run with it. It's going to be a while to reproduce if you decide you want to go back ya know?

This one today.

Using MB Toffee Brown and it is just way to saturated! But the pen is so perfect! I love writing with it.

Still the latest Eboya, the Houju. This one has been in use far longer than it's fair play time.

The Omas 360 in Arco Bronze.

I truly miss Omas and can only dream of what they would have engineered had they stayed in business!

One thing is for sure... I would be a lot poorer today if that had!

Not on this one. The nibs are stock block Bock but tuned to perfection. The Eboya pens are great examples of just how great a Bock nib can be when touched by a Master.

Here is the nib on my Akebono Yatate:


and the Shinkai Natsume:

Retro 51 platinum and rose gold Tornado. Been a while since I've used this one. Nice pen with a medium Schmidt nib.

Ran two of these out of ink finally. The Visconti and the Rosewood Omas are ready to be re inked. Planning on Diamine golden sands for the Visconti. That should look nice with the yellow gold. Not sure about the Omas noir. Still truckin' with the Omas Ludovico Einaudi inked with J Herbin bleu ocean. Freakin love that pen! I mean really, that pen is ridiculous! 10 out of 10 everyday and she doesn't even wear makeup!

Still just the Eboya Houju. I do really like everything about this pen. It's a true example of elegance from simplicity.

If you find one, definitely pick it up! It’s by far the most elegant pen in my collection. It reminds me of the pen a wealthy elderly gentleman, who knows quality over the past 80 years, would whip out to write me a check for mowing his lawn
