What's in your pocket today?

[Slivovitz]

Two posts in a row here, but now I'll wait for someone else. I know that many of us have pens in our pockets.

I trimmed this picture a bit too aggressively on the right, but let it stand. Parker 180 with Pilot Blue-Black ink, Eversharp Skyline with Namiki (Pilot) Blue ink.

I got today my first new, not antique shop, pen for 2020. A Jinhao X750 Ivory. Intrigued by what I read in various posts, here in B&B, about these pens and given the price I decided to give it a go. Immediately filled it with Diamine Grey ink the pen started writing without any hiccups. Massive and all metal. Big nib, which I like but not as big as my Waternan's from 1938-1940 ish nor the Mont Blanc 149 Meisterstcuk. It compares with Delta's Dolce Vita, Concklin's and similar. The converter is a bit flimsy but as long as it does what it has to do I'm not bothered. Medium nib, which I like. Colour should be ivory but it is more like pale lime yellow in artificial light. Cap fits on snugly and tight. It comes without a box and it is only rapped in a thin plastic film. Fortunately Amazon's envelope protected it.

In another thread today, I posted a picture of some of my Jinhaos, none of which are currently inked or likely to be soon.

Here are what I have used today. Left to right, Namiki Falcon with De Atramentis Document Violet, Pilot MYU with De Atramentis Document Brown, Eversharp Symphony with Namiki Blue.

Early 1950's Pelikan 400 with vintage Montblanc royal blue ink

For me, it's a 1950 touchdown Sentinel Sheaffer almost exclusively or a Sheaffer Sagaris on rare occasions. However, I have a Picasso 916, Baoer 79, and a Parker 21 to add to the rotation when they arrive

For writing, Parker 180, Broad-Fine nib (flip it over to change), Pilot Blue-Black ink.

For sketching, older version of a Pilot Elite with an 18k "soft" nib that I'd class as extra-fine, although it's not marked as such. Montblanc Midnight Blue ink.

Is this just for writing instruments?

Is this just for writing instruments?

Well, it is a thread in the Nib forum, "everything pen, ink, and writing".

I've seen people include other things that they're carrying along with their pens, notebooks, and such. Pocket knives, for example. But the emphasis is on writing instruments.

Welcome to this sub-forum, by the way, if this is your first stop here.

Thanks, I only use Zebra F-701 pens but those are far from luxurious. I am still getting the hang of the forums. I was brought here for straight razor wet shaving.
