Oh cool, you still write with a quill.

My three most recent Chinese pen acquisitions. Or, no, that's not true: my Wing Sung 601 came after the PenBBS 309. Anyway: these are pretty great? I recommend the PenBBS without reservations. The Moonman M2 is solidly good, although I do have a few small dissatisfactions. I inked up the Delike Smurfs for the first time this morning, and, like. Wow, this nib. It's got that same not-quite-fude curve as the PenBBS nibs, but it's smooth where my PenBBS is feedbacky. I probably need to spend some more time with it, but right now it just makes me want to write.

Three arrow clips.

Today's all-Chinese, all piston-filling lineup.

SKB Triangle: I don’t know if that’s’ really the correct name. The AliExpress listing I bought it from called it a “lipstick pen.” It’s sort of like an untwisted Pelikan Twist, with an equally aggressive triangle grip. I just got this, and it may actually be too uncomfortable to hold, but the nib is reasonably nice--feedback-y, but not in a bad way. Delta Brown, also the tail end of an old sample.

Very much taken with the Wing Sung 698. Looks good--better than the TWSBIs that inspired it, in my opinion--feels solid, and is compatible with Pilot Super Quality nibs and feeds. If it came in nib sizes other than EF I'd be recommending them to everyone I know. Not that there's a problem with their EF nibs. I switched this one out for the stub from a Pilot Plumix right away, but I've used the same one on my 659s.
