One of my all time favourite pens, the Pilot Vanishing Point (or Capless) Fountain Pen:

Fancy something a bit more tactical? How about this!

This one has an optional rollerball refill and alternate fitting included. It's big and silly, but it writes very well for a relatively inexpensive pen.

I hate losing pens, or getting the better ones damaged, so I've started using these cases from United Bees Japan:

I'll stop hijacking the thread now…

Yeah man: I love checking your pics!.. That capless fountain pen looks crazy!..

[michaeljcr]

Here's another one then!

It's the TWSBI Diamond 530 from Taiwan.

Next up will be some Japanese paper products…

The Pilot Capless/Vanishing Point is seriously cool. The fine is a proper Japanese fine (more like a European EF), and the medium is more like a European Medium. They've just released an all matte black version which I'm trying to stop myself from buying.

Midori Traveler's Notebooks anyone? These are lousy pictures, my skills with the camera aren't great:

This is the passport sized version, which has been my everyday companion for the past few years. I love the simplicity of the design, as well as the interchangeable notebooks and various options you can buy for it. I recently got the full sized version as well, which is slowly replacing my Moleskine habit.

And the large Midori Notebook!

I added some currency in the back pocket to give an idea of size.

My photos don't do them justice. They're not too bad price wise either. Check out Patrick Ng's blog Scription for killer photos and cool hacks: http://scription.typepad.com/

Can I come? I'll bring my own aluminium pole, and I have plenty of grievances to air.

[Seul]

Have my eye on this'un…

Stole some more pics:

Do it Seul! I've spent up for this month (and the next few!), so if you buy it I can live vicariously through you!

Did you get the tarnished silver one you posted the other week?

M.

[Seul]

Nope - was outbid!..

I will probably be live bidding on this'un (not sniping). Màn - it's been years!.. The adrenaline!.. The rush!.. The excitement!.. 

[Seul]

Oh God… Luckily it's a fountain pen (no real use for it)...

Not to mention:

[michaeljcr]

Mmm, is that on the bay?
