When was the last time you have used or have seen someone use a fountain pen?
I remember when l was younger, l saw them being used more often, but now as l get older, l dont see them as much.
It could be the environment l am around, but l always remember one on my fathers desk.
When was the last time you have seen cursive? I heard schools dont teach it anymore, thats a shame because you could put your own artistic flair in your writing.

I picked up calligraphy recently and found it a very relaxing art form. Besides that I never used them, but there is a whole world to learn about different styles and purposes behind them. What do you use them for?

I think it really depends what you want to use your pen for.
If you want it just for signatures, I would get a pen that has a broad nib.
If you are using it to write a lot, you will have to experiment.
Depending on your paper, you will have to change the nib sizes.

I collect fountain pens and use them daily. It's actually one of my proclivities. I have expensive, fancy French and Japanese inks, and such. LOL
I get lots of favor writing old school thank you notes in my business life.

Man, you collect fountain pens?
Do you recognize the pen I am using?
It has a special type of nib. I heard it is a bit harder to get in the USA.
I bought this specific one in Taiwan, they have some nice fountain pen stores there.
Are you into the arco style pens?

Looks like a Sailor 1911? Arco pens are beautifully artistic. BTC keeps me from getting too crazy.
Does that nib have Rhodium plating!!

Its a pilot heritage 912 with a falcon postcard nib.
Its made for writing on shitty paper.
10k nib.
Arco pens are very beautiful, I regret not getting the Visconti Manhattan when it first came out. I think that pen is the pinnacle of beauty.
For all of you wondering what a Visconti Manhattan is, this is it.

Pilot was going to be my second guess. I have several Pilot Vanishing Points, plus swap out nib kits. I didn't know anyone here was interested. I might post a few photos

Seems like you are the only one interested haha
Arco pens are becoming so expensive.
I wish I had gotten into them before the price rose so much.

Here are a few old photos of EDCs and desk riders. Some are new, some are old. My fav writing pen is the old classic Parker 51. Pilot, from Japan is also excellent.
Enjoy!
