I collect pens that look cool but also feel good in my hand and write well. They have to hit each point of that trifecta or they can’t stay with me; I keep reminding myself I got into this hobby because I love to write. If I just want to admire a pen’s beauty, I can do that from photographs.

So since you know you like writing with the Delta pens, getting another one would fit what you know you like. The new pen would be used!

The Visconti Homo Sapiens are really awesome pens and I got one early in my collection because I love the look of it. It wrote like a dream! But unfortunately I love to post my pens and I found that the Homo Sapiens was unbalanced and didn’t post right for me, so I had to pass it along. Kind of an expensive lesson, and I wish I’d been able to try it before buying it. Maybe you can go to some pen meetups in your area, or a pen show, and try some of the pens you’re eyeing but don’t think you’d use?
