    I love the British dry wit on display when he states his favorite pen is one he can’t use.

    This was such a joy to watch. The storytelling was so artful that I hardly noticed that Micheal snuck in at least nine pens to get to his final three. And I can relate to the fact that one of the final three no longer writes. That type of sentimentality makes sense to me.

    I love this series of videos, and I hope that Appelboom Pennen can keep it going for a long long time. And I find it very revealing thta when the pen pundits have to limit themselves to only 3 faves, they suddenly get emotional and connect with certain life events in their ratings.

      The Indiana Jones is just wonderful! It is so lovely that after I ordered mine, my office mate ordered one and a family friend did as well. That is 3% of the total make in a town of 120,000!

    I love my Conway Stewart 84 with a gold fine stub flexi nib.
    Its a celluloid green and black cracked ice finish.
    I use it with Seitz Kreuznach Palm green ink. It's my favourite pen.
    I didn't know Conway Stewart were still going.
    My two other favourites are a Pilot Kakuno with the Con 70 push converter and a B calligraphy nib swapped from a Pilot Pluminix.
    I put a clip from an Iraurita pocket pen.
    Big ink capacity
    Third is a Jinhao X750 Shimmering sands with a Jowo 1.1 stub nib.
    The nib came from John Sorowka here in the UK.
    I use it with Pilot Blue Black ink

    Holy s.. I checked the Visconti and it costs 800$ Wow! I don't know if I'll ever be able to get a pen that costs more than 20, but I wish at least once in my life, make a rich friend, to be able to write a sentence with a good pen. If he let's me touch his own of course..
