…but I find myself only using one - my CF nib Pilot Metropolitan.
It’s the only stub nib I’ve found which is fine enough for my handwriting size - yep it burps on occasion when I fill it, but I only want to use this pen.
Anyone else have far more expensive pens sitting around doing nothing while they use a cheap/mid range pen?
My most expensive pens went years ago, an old “faceted” VP, a Platinum 3776, Rotring 600, and a Pelikan M200 upgraded with a gold BB stub. Of the four, the Pelikan is the only one I regret selling.
Currently inked are a Hero 330 (ground down to a soft BB italic), an XF Cross Solo (steel nib made my namiki/Pilot), and a M Pelikan Jazz cartridge pen. The most expensive pens I have left are a mid-range Sheaffer Triumph lever-fill (I re-sacced it myself, so I kept it), a Parker 51 “special” (i.e. steel, but they promised it was nice!), and I guess my Aurora Style is considered slightly more high end than it used to be (or maybe I’ve just repressed how much I paid for it umpteen years ago).
