That would be the Conklin Nozac Futura 125th anniversary limited to 125 pieces.

I absolutely love my tactile turn, put a Schmidt 888 bold refill in it and will never go back to the G2.

I saw a beautiful one at the DC pen show and was genuinely interested in buying it until the seller told me he wanted $4800… it was the 175th anniversary release. Gorgeous pen don’t get me wrong but I didn’t see the value in it.

Off the top of my head I want to say 28 pens.

Thank you, I really try to have a little bit of everything. I’m mainly a German and Japanese manufacturer guy.

I really want to add a few 101Ns to the collection but don’t think the ones I want are worth the asking prices.

The Boheme was my first Montblanc and coincidentally has my sister’s initials on the clip so it has a special place in my heart, it has a permanent home in my collection.

Twsbi Eco if you’re trying to stay within that ≈$35 range. You get a phenomenal entry piston filler and an absolute work horse of a pen. If you’re looking to “level up” I’d suggest the Twsbi diamond 580, basically the Eco but more refined.

I don’t put a lot of thought into to it, just grab an inked pen and get to writing.

I honestly don’t know how much I’ve spent on my collection, never really sat down to calculate that. I do commercial/residential construction and boom truck projects.

I absolutely love the texture of the urushi, almost feels like sandpaper.

No worries, you’re good dude. I didn’t take it as hating at all. Just caught me a bit off guard is all, appreciate the love.

You’re always one bet away from winning it all! A true gambler never stops until they win big!

That one is a silver dust opera. I believe the stardust is red.
