  1. So, I was ordering stuff from Amazon the other night... I'd come across this #pen a week or so ago, and I couldn't get the ink window out of my mind. It was cheap, so I wasn't expecting much - but I had to satisfy my curiosity.

    This pen is from a company called Wilknd. Never heard of them, only other listing is for a fairly generic looking ballpoint pen.

    What I received is actually a fairly respectable #fountainpen - especially for $15, compared to junk like  Beiluner or Scrivenier.

    Brass case, plated gold, fine nib (listing says 0.5mm, but it writes like an EF), interesting design (I don't recall seeing anything like this), a snap cap with a liner, installed syringe-style converter. I filled it with Hongdian Blue ink and tried writing a page -- enjoy my crappy penmanship. Lol.

  2. Okay, #fountainpen folks... I'm curious about the #fountainpenink that you are using...

    Do you tend to just stick with one brand of ink? Or do you use a range of different brands?  How many brands of #ink do you currently have in your collection? How do you go about selecting the inks that you have?

    And, how about naming your top three brands?

    I'm asking because I am just starting to explore inks. So far I have Hongdian, Diamine and Colorverse inks in my collection (mostly samples for Diamine and Colorverse).
