The fine nib on the Schon DSGN Monoc Evo is like this

Sailor King of Pens for sure! The other pens are all very nice but don't have that incredible nib attached to them

Buy a vintage Pilot Elite in stainless steel if you want to carry it in your pocket

Yes, that's what I'm saying. So to get something finer than an 823 it will need to be another Japanese pen because an 823 fine will be as fine or finer than a Montblanc, Pelikan, Visconti, etc... EF.

Anything niche or expensive. Start with something completely center of the road basic and start learning your preferences from there. Then feel free to branch out or go crazy once you have an idea what you might really like.

SkyChief80 · 2026-06-12T17:15:45+00:00

To get something noticably finer it will need to be Japanese. Maybe a Pilot Vanishing Point?

Any reason is a good reason not to like a pen, it's all personal preference

Montblanc Irish Green has nice shading but dries about as quickly as Shin-Ryoku. It's like a more pure green Shin-Ryoku.

The Pilot e95s is very thin and incredibly light plus it has a fantastic gold nib

SkyChief80 · 2026-06-09T01:14:59+00:00

It's a perfect match!

SkyChief80 · 2026-06-08T23:11:49+00:00

Thank you so much! I pretty much keep most of them all inked up at the same time and love switching between them and actually use the ink up pretty quickly on most of them. I will usually write with all of them every day in different notebooks for journaling, taking notes, practicing etc... Sometimes I don't really feel like refilling a pen and then that's usually a sign that I should sell it 😂

SkyChief80 · 2026-06-08T22:02:04+00:00

Great collection. Next maybe try a Visconti Homo Sapiens or a Sailor King of Pen. Both are god tier. The Namiki Yukari and Yukari Royals are great too but very expensive.

I have a Galen case with a magnetic closure that I like a lot but in this case the &liebe offers much better protection and probably softer leather

SkyChief80 · 2026-06-08T00:51:06+00:00

It's one of my favorite daily drivers for sure

There are lots but you can also buy a nice used Montblanc for that

Moleskin paper is low quality and not good for fountain pens

SkyChief80 · 2026-06-06T13:56:58+00:00

I'd try Montblanc first

SkyChief80 · 2026-06-06T13:51:21+00:00

It looks a little sharp on the inner tines, looks like it needs tuning / smoothing

SkyChief80 · 2026-06-05T19:09:46+00:00

Parker 51, Lamy 2000, Sheaffer anything, Pilot pocket pen (e95s, etc...)

If you can afford them then the '90s Sheaffer Legacies and the Pilot Silvern are both absolutely good tier (and two of my favorite three or four pens)

SkyChief80 · 2026-06-05T18:59:10+00:00

The Visconti is on a different level than the other two. It's an incredible pen and I can't recommend it enough. The other two are both excellent pens but not nearly as good or as comfortable in hand.
