For me: Platinum Workhorse. Never lets me down. Only $40!

I have several regular writers. One of them is my waterman charleston.
It has been filled with ink since i bought it more than a year ago. It
is definitely my favourite (modern) waterman. It's strange that i
don't read many good thing about this pen. Well, maybe, it's just me.

I always have one or two Pelikan 800s and a Parker 51 with me.
Rather predictable, i suppose.

You just can't beat a nib ground to your specific writing ergonomics and
then adjusted for perfect performance.

The one pen I'm never without is my Blue Cedar Lustraloy-cappd 1946
Parker "51". Reliable as the Earth's rotation, smooth medium nib with
a nice wet line, no frou-frou eye candy, just a pen that writes and
writes and writes.

Regards,
=Richard

Did you go to Japan to have this done? Without the pensmith actually
seeing you write and grinding the nib after observing the results,
there is no way to do this.

Sincerely yours,

Welcome to the club folks, I also consider my fine point Mare my best
everyday pen.

Equally infinitely reliable are my fine "Vac 51" and stub Dupont
Orpheo, but the first one makes me write too fast and the second too
slow for everyday ideas-jotting/diagram-drawing/proof-sketching/&c.

Medium...great pen for singature and just writing. Very good at writing
after not being used to days. The pen is the right size and very light.

I'm planning to get the same model Pelikan and Parker one of these days. I
gave my dad a used Parker 51 for Xmas a few years back. He loved it because
he used to own one. Everytime I try it, it write beautifully. I want one.

Tell me what you think of the Pelikan 800.
