Fountain Pens 2023 - Anyone?

[MaytagMan]

Got something new in today... it is a Collaboration of Gravitas Pens and Figboot, a YouTube pen guy who does reviews.

It is the Gravitas Bitfrost
Frosted poly with rainbow PVD hardware and accents. It feels good in the hand and has a nice weight to it. I'll get it inked up this weekend!

Well, I'm back from Portland, where there the Pacific Northwest Pen Show just happened to be taking place... I came back with 4, 3 of which are green - my favorite color.

Here is this year's damage ----->

Hinze Kolbenfüller in Green Juma



Hinze König in British Racing Green
(This is a big pen!)




Carolina Pen Company in Primary Manipulation 5 Resin



Sey Urushi Pen - Green Urushi Laquer with Raden chips



Here they are all together with a Pilot G2 for scale -



I think I will be on pen hiatus for at least a little while after this trip... okay at least through July!

I think that clear body pen on the far right is probably the best one you have!

My writing is bad enough that me picking up a pen like any (but that far right one) would just plain be a travesty.

I'm a lefty. Lefties cannot use fountain pens unfortunately.

Certainly the most cost effective at the very least!

Yeah you have it a lot tougher - at least your left hand would always have a nice color to it!
