The pen in Rotation today is Worther Profil inked with KWZI Orange Ink. The pen is made of Aluminium and comes with standard medium nib which writes decently.

I looked at your site and I am jealous of your penmanship. You have many styles, fantastic. I have a difficult time being legible.

I was tempted to get one a while back kind of the more palatable homage to the Lamy Persona however I wish it had the conical nib to match, as I think the more standard looking nib on this pen doesn't quite work as well with the design.

I just put the overview up of this pen... writing sample included. Nib is so smooth. Line variation is not a lot but it is a fine so that is to be expected.

Thanks Earthdawn!

Hey BJMoose, I have a steel Masuyama medium stub - it is so impressive, your's steel too?

I hadn't used this Waterman's 12 PSF in quite a while, and I had a never used bottle of Akkerman #5, Shocking Blue. So when I emptied another pen this morning, I flushed it out, and filled up this one instead, with the Akkerman.

Although I could carry this pen around, I prefer to leave my really old ones at home, so I'm actually walking around with a couple of other pens. But I made a journal entry with this first; both the pen and ink are winners.

Yup. I just couldn't afford gold, but I really like this nib - it's my first stub. And the pen is is great - it's the ice finish, and I filled it as an eyedropper, so it looks really cool with the red ink in the barrel.

After swapping out the 23k palladium stub for the broad 18k I must say I like it a little bit better..

I agree, gold nib options are quite a consideration!
Still really amazes me though just how good the Masuyama stub is.

There is more than one pen and mechanical pencil in that pen roll. But let's look at the one below it.

Of four or five pens inked at a time, I've gradually been rotating in some that I hadn't used in a while. Just emptied another pen, so I filled this Sheaffer IV Imperial with Akkerman Shocking Blue. Nice wet writer. A little broader line than I normally go for. Maybe that's why I hadn't used it in a while.

Pink Sheaffer No Nonsense with a F nib, filled with an ink mix of Noodler's Rome Burning and Diamine's Chocolate Brown. The two inks mixed together make a slightly lighter yellow brown something like Noodler's Golden Brown (which I wanted, but also didn't want to spend the money on - this is a decent substitute).
