What Pen Are You Using Today?
I am using a black Cross Selectip trimmed in gold with black gel ink, and don't mind telling you I am enjoying my writing experience. What's clutched between your fingers today?

A 1993 Parker Sonnet fountain pen with green ink. I acquired it on an auction site for a very reasonable amount and it has the lifetime warranty certificate still with it, stamped and signed

Due to the fact that I'm doing a lot of desk-writing at the moment, my pen is a 1900s nickel-plated combination dip-pen & pencil.

Today I'm using a Purdy Nylox Glide; 3" Angular Trim, Beavertail Fluted, Semi-Oval SS Ferrule.

Name: NyloxGlide.jpg Views: 322 Size: 4.7 KB

Flows nicely over all surfaces and holds an strong edge.



And FYI, I am not enjoying my writing experience....
