| Item | Brand | Nib | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| x86 | JinHao | Stub | Got 3, gave 2 away. I ground the one I kept into a stub nib. |
| 10 Red Ice | JinHao | M | Originally planned to sand and refinish brown, but have kept for now. |
| 10 Silver Pinstripe | JinHao | F | A surprise gift from my wife, and thusly my all time favorite pen! |
| Axel S | Spoke | M | I really enjoyed my Spoke Clickstream, and wanted to try their fountain pens. I adored my Kaweco Sport and figured Brad "pocket pen" Dowdy knew what he was doing. |
| Clickstream | Spoke | Ohto Flash Dry | Another creation by PenAddict. Love the satisfying click; however, I also wish there was a clip. |
| Vanishing Point | Pilot | F | My first 'grail' pen. Got it in black (of course). My wedding present and still my favorite pen. |
| Plaisir | Platinum | F | Honestly the first fountain pen I've been let down by. Loved the Preppy (until I lost it in a move), but can’t believe a 'nicer' barrel somehow makes the pen worse. |
| Metropolitan | Pilot | M | My first fountain pen (as I’m sure it is for many people). Solid, built well, and cheap back then. Now I don’t know what I’d recommend for a first pen. |
| Sport | Kaweco | M | The first "pocket" pen I acquired. I usually carry my pens clipped to my shirt, so I figured maybe a small, light fountain pen would work. It is fantastic. |
| Jotter | Parker | Parker refill | My father got me this pen to celebrate my first home purchase. I hate the refill and use anything other than it. |
| Classique Ballpoint | Mont Blanc | Mont Blanc M refill | An absolute steal on eBay. My most used non-fountain pen. Doesn’t write super well and I prefer Schmidt P8126 refills, but something keeps pulling me back to it. |
| Tornado | Retro 51 | Schmidt P8126 | The only pen I own two of. One in my work bag in case the pen of the day stops working. Bought a second thinking I lost the first, only to find it later in a suitcase. |
| Safari Black | Lamy | EF | Going from the heavy Metropolitan to this was a shock, but I preferred the nib and wanted the all-black limited edition of that year. |
| 9019 Silver | JinHao | F | Wanted a hooded nib pen. While the Parker 51 is still on my someday list, I wanted to see if I even liked it. $10 for 2 of these was worth it. |
| x250 Silver | JinHao | F | My first ever JinHao. Pleasantly surprised. Very suspicious at first, but it’s a great silver and gold pen with heft and writes well. |
| Mark One | Studio Neat | Schmidt P8126 | Love Studio Neat’s designs and backed the project. Luckily, the first run came in black. It’s fine, but I wish it had a clip. Slight wobble when writing like the nosecone tolerances are off. |
| x750 Sparkles | JinHao | F | A little Christmas present to myself. I should have returned it—the fit and finish is so poor, I hate this pen and don’t like the sparkles either. |
| Eco Matcha | TWSBI | M | A special edition, and how could I not make it my TWSBI. |
| White A1 | Majohn | Architect Grind | Got specifically to grind myself. |
| Black 742 | Pilot | PO NIB | Got specifically to grind myself. |
