Fountain Pens & Fine Writing
I saw that there were some pen threads, but the latest was about 9 years ago, so I thought I'd start another.
Does anyone else enjoy and use fountain pens? A buddy and I started on the slippery slope a couple of years ago, and it sure can be slippery lol! I enoy the craftsmanship, variety, and writing experience. I use them at work, and quickly became known as the "fancy pen guy" at meetings... when the paper comes around to sign, I flick the ballpoint away in disgust and sign with one of my pens hahahaha! I'll post pics of a few of my pens. Show me what you have inked up! Lamy Safari https://i.ibb.co/MMnVmXB/Photo-Feb-03-6-35-04-PM.jpg TWSBI Eco-T https://i.ibb.co/80MwJPG/Photo-Jan-28-4-10-04-PM.jpg |

Darren, aka SubVet642 in big into fountain pens. He even repaired a few of mine that had been sitting neglected in a drawer for decades.
Don't know where he drifted off to, solid brother. |
Re: Fountain Pens & Fine Writing
Yeah I saw some of his old posts - too bad he is not around anymore so we can geek out lol.

Re: Fountain Pens & Fine Writing
I have a couple TWSBI Ecos, one of their SWIPE pens, and I like them. I have a Pelikan 300 that is about 40 years old, but an expensive pen is wasted on me.
Peace of the Lord be with you. |

That looks cool! Tactile Turn makes some bolt-action pens that I have seen too. I'll have to look for a knife thread when it comes time for me to do some shopping in the somewhat near future for an EDC pocketknife... |

Nice! I have an Eco and a Swipe in my pen tray at work. I bought the Eco with a broad nib and had it custom ground to an architect nib. I love it as it works really well since I typically write in block caps at work so people can read my writing lolol! My Swipe has a stub nib and is kind of like my ink tester - you never know what color I am going to be writing a student call slip with lolol!!! |

This seems like something Keith would be all over...
Maybe he'll swing by once he's done blow drying his hair and moisturizing? :fp |
Re: Fountain Pens & Fine Writing
A quick update here... assuming I have kicked my bug, I'm going to the San Francisco International Pen Show on Saturday... what can possibly go wrong?
