Dream pen

[RocketRyan]

If you could create your dream pen what would it be? For me it would be a sheaffer pfm made of Aurora green auroraloid, with a juicy medium stub nib.

[Fouez]

Fun topic that would get the attention it deserves in another section... Pens in General maybe?

To answer your question, for me it would be a Pilot Custom 823 in Smoke Black with chrome trim and a dual tone nib (no15 nib from the Custom 845). Oh, and it would have a Broad stub (not a SU!).

Nakaya Piccolo Cigar kuro-tamenuri with a Pilot PO nib.

I could probably dream larger, but this is my answer on the fly.

My dream pen is a shape-shifter.

When not in use, it's just a 7x1x1 inches block of some nano-sized programmable material.

When activated it will assume the shape, external condition, and the writing performance of the pen that I describe.

So today I can write with a Burgundy Parker Vacumatic Senior Maxima, and tomorrow with a Montblanc Hemmingway, the next day... a Namiki Yukari Royale Kingfisher.

I'd be worried it'd get a virus and turn into a Zebra disposable...

My dream pen would probably be an awful lot like a Pelikan M205 or 405 with a blue binde of some sort, except the piston would be removable without the risk of destruction, and nib units would be available with offerings from assorted brands, ancient and modern, giving a range of everything from OBBBs to needlepoint flex. That would make me a very contented weevil indeed.

The nib options is what has drawn me to Aurora

I would love to see an Aurora Optima with the abalone shell finish (Pelikan Sunlight). To stay in utopia land, I would have a Sailor Naginata Togi NMF nib on it.

You got me excited now ...

Sure the price tag would be the thing of fantasy too.
Like your style though.

Lamy 2000 made of carbon fiber instead of Makrolon with a Mike Masuyama fine cursive italic nib

Think even I would like one of those.

[innerlight]

something in a titanium body and cap for durability with carved 3d animals (flamed colored ti)on in for tactile feel and a mike masuyama nib on it.

Is this another one of those 'if you could have only one pen' threads, because I'm not sure how to get snakeskin, urushi, and raden, being just three of my favourite materials/finishes, into one pen.

Not sure if I would like that, but hey what ever floats your boat.

You simply have to dream of a pen with a button or dial to select the finish you happen to want at the time. Unless you actually want them all at once, in which case you merely have to have a nightmare...

if it is literally a dream pen, I had a lovely dream where I was walking through some back streets in an old chinese town and came across a shop that had been boarded up many years ago. My guide told me that this was the shop I was looking for, a stationers than hadnt been opened since 1940. Dont ask me how but the next thing was we were inside the shop and found a large cardboard box from Parker, postmarked 1937. We opened the box and it was full of Parker Vacumatics with the VACUMATIC cap band. The dust from the box made the air so thick in the bright sunlight.

A frail old man appeared at the door way, my guide spoke to him, he said it was his shop. He said the ticket price for each pen was $2, did I want to buy one, I said I would buy them all, I gave him $100 note, he gave it back to me, he wanted a $100 bill with a yellow back, he thought mine was a forgery. I told him that they went out of circulation some years ago, no one used them any more. 'Just like my pens' and with that I was back in the street.

Here's another one: Franklin-Christoph pocket 66 made from Ebonite and coated in vermilion urushi lacquer (unpolished) with their semi-flex SIG nib...

I have a Real Life Dream Pen so I don't have to dream one up. I just have to sell my car to afford it...
