Detective Work Pens…

daily carry, fountain pen, musings

OK a slightly misleading title, but presently I am spending time going through my late father’s documents and making notes with my pens, rather than my laptop (who would have thought I have been working in IT for over 20 years, much of it hands on the technical side). With that in mind I’ve actually assembled a slightly different set of pens from normal, and these I’ve been carrying up to my mother’s for a few weeks now.

It’s been four months since my last update, since when I went from working from home to being put on furlough, so the pens in use have been those at my PC not in my daily carry case.

Pens in Daily Use April 2020

My daily carry rarely changes.  Even with three to four months between postings there are normally just one or two pens swapped in or out.  Things have changed however, as the pen case is left by my work bag, not by my computer, so with the present situation and full time working from home it is rarely touched.  Instead the assortment of pens on my desk have become my daily writers.  These are a mix of new pens, those I have queued up to review, those I’m too lazy to put away and still use, and then the one permanent resident.

Hold the front third page, Dapprman has actually changed the pens in his daily carry!!  This has partly come off the back of the purchase of a number of second hand pens, all of which have made the main six (well seven if you include the Pelikan Duo highlighter).  Thing is it could change again within just a few weeks as the Spring London Pen Show is in just eight days time, and while I’ve nothing specific I’m looking for (maybe a Platinum Curidas or a Sailor Realo), I suffer from my ‘ooh shiny’ weakness moments.

Daily Carry – International Fountain Pen Day 2019 Edition

Today, being the first Friday in November is International Fountain Pen Day.  A day of discounts and an excuse to get our pens out.  So with all these discounts I bought … no new pens (yet it’s 8pm as I write), but then with all the recent acquisitions, it would both be hard to justify and hard to find something I want.  Not only do I have my haul from the October London Pen Show, but a Nakaya Decapod bought from Eciton, as well as the loan of his Eureka Symmetry and Asymmetry pens from South Korea- which I will review shortly.  In addition to all this, I finally reached the front of the waiting list, and post USPS caused delays received a Wyvern from Brian Chu at the Red Dragon Pen Company.

It’s been several months since my last daily carry post and my spring pen show purchases have now all been covered, so the Franklin-Christoph Penvelope 6 is once more the case being taken to work and the pens carried are actual regulars, and not those being used for upcoming reviews.

Daily Carry End of April

Been a couple of months since I last did a daily carry post, but when I wrote the first one I did say it would not be a regular feature.

First thing you’ll notice is I’m not using the Franklin-Christoph Penvelope 6, but rather my 12 slot Visconti case.  The reason behind this is the desire to use the new pens I picked up at the London Spring Pen Show, partly with a view to be able to review most of them having given the pens a decent use.

I want to keep my reviews to every two weeks, however once in a while I’ll post something extra in between.  This time it’s my present carry for work.  This does change over time, but not necessarily quickly, and changes tend to be both due to new pens and change in preferences.  As a result this will not be a regular feature.
