Default Day to day pen opinions


"Jimmy" wrote in message ...
Hello everyone. Anyone at home here?

What do you like every day as a cheap, good fountain pen that doesn't need
to be insured, or carried around in cottonwool by a team of hired guards?

I was pleasantly surprised by the Sailor 1911 "Profit" 14K range. The
medium one, more like a European fine, is my favourite at the moment. It
just GLIDES. It has been my favourite for 6 weeks. I got a red one with
black top and tail. The "Music nib" one is disappointing though, always
glitching. The "B" one is nice enough, but nothing like the "M".


I'm still enjoying the Kaweco Sports I got a few months ago in the various
colors. The EDs from Swisher are particularly nice because of the capacity
and visual enjoyment from watching the ink.

FWIW, I found fine nibs at http://www.shopwritersbloc.com/kaweco.html.
