Your most comfy pen!

Among your collection, which one do you consider is the most comfortable ? Weight, size and flow of ink ?
I find the starwalker the most comfortable pen ! The weight is not too light nor too heavy and because of the rubber grip, it keeps a great hold!

I don't know which is the most comfortable and that is highly subjective. For example, I consider the Classique models somewhat heavy and cumbersome and just ordered a Mozart FP since due to its size, it will no doubt weigh considerably less.

As for my most comfortable, hmm, one of the things I think about when buying a pen is that it is comfortable to hold for long periods of time ( I write a lot!) so all mine are comfortable but if I had to choose then it would be my Nakaya Portable writer, light in weight and perfect balance (I wish the same could be said of me)

For a fountain pen I like the smaller size Mont Blancs such as the Chopin or the Solitaire Doue Signum. As for roller balls I like the MB Classique Meisterstuck. As for ink I'm finding a new favorite every week!!!

That's a real beauty, Dave. I was looking at the cigars at nib.com just yesterday, and I think I'm going to nab one of those as well. I love the red you have. I also loved the Decapods.

Thank you very much John.

You wont be disappointed with the pen or the service.

I too love the Decapod, I think that the subtlety in colours (colors) is highlighted perfectly on the angled parts of the pen, beautiful.

Unfortunately, for me, the smoothest most comfortable pen is my Pelikan Demonstrator. It really is buttery smooth, and featherweight. The problem (for me) is that even with a fine nib, it is far too broad for me.

The next most comfortable is an old Parker 51 that I just purchased. Comfortable, and seems like a great writer with its smooth fine nib.

Jim, I'm with you...I prefer an extra fine nib and wish there was one smaller than that to use!!!
