I have thirty fountain pens of varying value... (vlemmy.net)

...but I find myself only using one - my CF nib Pilot Metropolitan.

It's the only stub nib I've found which is fine enough for my handwriting size - yep it burps on occasion when I fill it, but I only want to use this pen.

Anyone else have far more expensive pens sitting around doing nothing while they use a cheap/mid range pen?

I have a lot of other pens, but I almost always prefer to use my Pelikan M400. It's the perfect size for me and it is as smooth as butter. It is my daily driver.

Beautiful pen. I've heard a lot of good things about them, but I haven't used one myself.

I just got an M400 and it is lovely! However, they recently stopped making the barrels translucent which is a bit of a disappointment.
