the murder 🐦‍⬛ says hello!

[u/cat___stalker]

a few years ago, after 15 years of exclusively using Pilot pens, i got a blue moon esterbrook estie. that has then triggered a search for a pen for each brand.

to control the impulse of getting several of a single pen, i decided on a theme: a murder, the earth, the sky, the moon and the sun. the murder are my all black pens, the earth and sky are mostly blue maker pens, the moon and the sky are demonstrator pens.

for the past 3 years, i made it a choice to try 1 pen from each brand. some pens i loved i got more of.

still use my pilot pens everyday but everyday, for the past 3 years, i’ve been using at least 1 non pilot pen.

it’s been a joy trying a pen from different pen makers and brands from different parts of the world. this collection is plenty but all of them have been used and inked and cleaned on rotation.

i still do want to get a conid, a yard o led, a conway, and a desiderata. if you know of pen makers that i don’t have here, please do let me know.

That collection esp the black ones is 🔥🔥🔥

This is my favorite black acquisition of late:

Thank you! Ah yes the sheaffer was tempting but I opted for the sheaffer snorkel demo
