    Default Hello Geeks

    I have recently became enamor with fountain pens. I currently do not own one but would like to get one. My favorite writing instrument right now is the Pilot G-2 1.0 mm. I love that pen but would like to have an upgrade soon.

    Welcome Penmanship,

    Welcome to the Fountain Pen Geeks forums! Smaller than the largest pen fora, larger than some, you'll find a comfortable community of pen-centric people here, with a growing body of posts, reviews, and group knowledge. Mostly, you'll find people who are enthusiastic about fountain pens, and fountain pen people.

    Regards,
