    I am now down to 14 inked. I hope to run a few more out soon, with a target of 5 from now on. This is just too much to manage.

    I just got down to three, if you don't count one Esterbrook Dip Less desk pen (which really isn't a fountain pen, but keeps ink in the well), and a few Pilot Varsities which I probably won't bother refilling any more once they're empty.

    Parker Vacumatic with Namiki Blue.

    Pilot Custom Heritage 92 with Pilot Blue-Black.

    Lamy 2000 with De Atramentis Document Blue.

    But I'm thinking of inking another pen today, as you can never have too much blue ink available.

    Usually 5-8, as 8 is what fits in my pen holder. Keeps things manageable and allows a good variety of nibs, pen personas, and ink colors.

    Usually my answer is 12-14 which is exhausting.

    I've finally cut the number down to 6, yay!

    Looking forward to emptying a few more.

    Only one that I use. I'm dreading looking at the others because the ink in them has been untouched for almost a year

    Considering that any of us can choose to answer the question, this seems not to be a very popular thread. I am answering it today only because I've got (what is for me) an unusually large number of pens inked: four. Parker 51, fine nib, Aurora black. Parker 51, fine/medium, Pelikan brilliant black. Lamy Profil 81, a really generous medium, Pelikan royal blue. Montblanc SlimLine, a painfully fine fine nib, Skrip jet black. Normally two pens inked are quite enough, one being a backup for when the other runs out of ink.

    Without being specific, I can say that four is a small proportion of all the fountain pens I own. Some of them languish uninked for quite a long time.

    I had sixteen pens inked until two and maybe a third succumbed to SITB (see ink subform), so I'm down to thirteen.

    Usually three or four, but today it's ten as I'm off to a pen meet!

    I'm working diligently to get my inked pens down to a manageable level. I'm down to 4 - Italix Parsons, Wing Sung 699, Lamy 2000 and Lamy Studio All Black. I expect it will be the end of the week before I get down any further.

    I'd love to get down to 2 - one for my journal writing and left at my desk and 1 to carry for planning and daily writing.

    My minimum is 11 pens inked at any time, 6 in my office, and 5 on the move with me.

    Currently, the total of inked pens is 12, which means that I'm very reasonable
