The 10 fountain pens I would keep if I could only keep 10...in no order

The 10 fountain pens I would keep if I could only keep 10...in no order

There is another fun top 10 list popping around fountain pen circles....if you could only keep 10 pens which would you choose. It's a fun and pointless exercise since something very bad indeed would need to happen for me to only have 10 fountain pens!

So here we go...

  1. Pilot Vanishing Point LE Red Carbonesque, original nib switched out to a FM. A Pilot Vanishing Point is always my go to pen and I choose this one because it took me so long to track it down and complete my collection. 
  2. Namiki Emperor MF Nib. I journal with this pen every day and the nib is divine. 
  3. Pelikan M640 Eternal Ice Medium Nib. I sold it once and bought it back if that tells you anything.
  4. Montblanc 100 year 149 OF nib engraved with my granddaughters name.
  5. Waterman Edson Emerald Medium nib. Beautiful and writes so well, purchased as a set with the ballpoint pen. 
  6. Sailor King Of Pen Mono No Aware Broad nib. The only Sailor in my collection. 
  7. Montblanc Boheme (retractable) Green stone OM Nib. This is an oddball and I love it. 
  8. Montblanc 149 EF nib. Walked into the Montblanc store in Dublin and as I was was browsing the pens I was asked if there was anything I was looking for...Assuming they would not stock this pen I flippantly said I would love a 149 with an EF nib if you have one. They had one. 
  9. Pelikan M805 Ocean Swirl Fine nib. Gorgeous. Perfect size for long writing for me. 
  10. Montblanc late 1950's 256G. One of the best nibs I have ever written with. Ever.
