Personal Pen Collections

These articles describe my personal journey through this hobby and showcased my humble and relatively small pen collection. 

All my pens are bought using my own money out of my own pockets. None of the articles, photos or mentions in this blog are sponsored. And because my personal  purchases are limited by my annual hobby budget, there are of course many quality pens in the market which are not featured here, simply because I can never afford to own them!

This Montblanc Orient Express fountain pen was my first ever Montblanc pen which I purchased in June 2023, slightly more than 2 years ago.  Limited to an edition size of 1883 worldwide, this pen was released on the 140th anniversary of the celebrated luxury train service, the Orient Express in the year 1883.

This is due to its relatively longer tines compared to normal fountain pen nibs. Officially named as the Naginata Togi Ebonite Fountain Pen, MOUKO, 猛虎, According to the Sailor product page, this pen is based on the painting of a Tiger by the artist, Jakuchu . The contrast of black and yellow is made to resemble a tiger's stripes pattern.  The nib is 21K Gold with bi-color plating and the pen itself measures about 15.2 cm in length. My pen comes with a Medium Fine (MF) nib . While this pen also comes with Fine (F) and Broad (B) nibs besides the MF that I chose, the store in Tokyo which I bought it from only had the F and MF versions available during my visit. Besides the fountain pen, the box also includes a bottle of fountain pen ink (50ml...
