My most used pen is a blue Esterbrook SJ with a 14K Conklin nib made in around 1923. This is my everyday pocket pen for all casual note taking and signing of visitor logs etc. For the past 4 years it has been filled with Russian Violet ink.

I suppose for me it is my MB 146 that is always inked up and a Pelikan....my M1000 is often.... meaning routinely.... in my Samsonite satchel. A TWSBI mini has Baystate Blue in it and is at my desk at the office all the time ready to sign contracts.

Lamy Safari (I've got six of them, and interchange them. One of them is always with me in the pen loops for my Franklin Covey binder or Hobonichi Techo cover. If I'm using it for class, it's one of four colours: J. Herbin's Eclat de Saphir, Waterman's Mysterious Blue, Namiki Black, or Rohrer and Klingner's Konigsblau), Sheaffer No-Nonsense (the medium nib one has become my study notes pen - always inked with my ink mix of Rohrer and Klingner's Cassia and J. Herbin's Violette Pensee. It makes for a slightly richer and bolder purple than the individual inks separately) and Platinum Plaisir (medium nib, always filled with either Sheaffer Turquoise or Diamine Marine. Yes, I have a pen that I only use turquoise ink in. Why? I'm not sure). I think.

The Preppy I received with my Noodlers Heart of Darkness. Been inked with HOD for years (bought from the Swishers store). Some times I top the pen up with tap water or HOD depending on the flow. I wish Platinum made a Preppy with ebonite and gold nib.

Pilot VP and Decimo. I love my other pens for writing for prolonged periods, but the capless Pilots are always ready to go.
Re: Which of your pens do you use the most?
Well... rotated the Nakaya Long Piccolo out and the Danitrio Fellowship in. My memory told me that the DF was not a very comfortable pen in hand, but I swapped out the original 18k EF nib (NOT an EF! More F/M.) and inserted a steel EF nib, and it is writing heaven! All these many years, it was the nib, not the pen. I knew I wasn't crazy about the nib. The pen is a pleasure to use now.
