Got a Stationery Fetish?! Show us your pens.
on: December 30, 2012, 03:21:21 PM
I have, and I'm pretty sure I'm not alone.... always loved pens, pencils and all the trimmings. I used to "borrow" things from the stationary cupboards in my mums office when I was small :D

So here's my current "back to school" set up, mostly carried in a Maxp 6'x4' notebook case. I obviously have a problem with stainless steel etc, but there are worse things a girl could want!



Several Zebras there including a pen, pencil and the nice little highlighter with refill cartridge. Sharpie SS marker, vintage Parker Jotter and my Matthew Martin jewel in the crown Ti/CF pen. I put a nice Schmidt rollerball in there and it's my go to pen (the small ti thing is the tool to change the refill).
Also got a little silver fine point eraser made by Tombo, a stainless ruler and of course a Vic money clip for the basic cutting needs :)

Extra fat highlighters are needed at the moment as I am busy defiling text books, and there's some post it notes and a small pad hiding under the inside sleeves of the Maxp. ALso been using the little coloured tab things for marking chapters etc - most useful.
This pretty much covers my schoolin' needs - hope you enjoy even though the pics are rubbish!





So, please share your pens and stationery stuff of choice with us :pok: :D

Not sure I have a fetish  :think: :think: but I do have a knack for loosing pens  ??? ??? , I have lost quite a few Parker pens  :( :(.

Here is my cool pen , a Fisher Space .338 cartridge pen









Yes my cartridge pen got seized by Aussie customs & yes I needed a police permit to get my pen  ??? ??? >:(. Not the most comfortable pen too use but VERY cool. Now if there was a pen that made my handwriting look good  :think: :P :D

A plain old Parker Jotter has been my work pen for a while now.  As with Matt I'm sure I've owned a few of these over the years but they have all disappeared at one time or another.  I've also got a SS Sharpie and am a big fan of Zebra pens, so I think we've got very similar tastes Chrissy. :cheers:

Oh, I have it bad. :facepalm:

Here are a few of my most carried ones.


A few Zebras, Parker, Lamy, Faber Castell, Pentel, ...

And my pencil case, a maxped organizer. I carried the 6x4 notebook cover like you do for some time but the ebook was to snug in it so I returned to the bigger one.

Oh good.... a problem shared is so much easier to bear :D

As for your pic Mat - like :tu:  :rofl:


I've got tons more, especially the small ones for pockets and such, but this lot is getting the most use at the moment.

I only own one good pen and that's my Fisher Bullet in silver with a stylus. It's engraved with my name on it.

Not really big into pens myself but a friend from high school is a huge vintage fountain pen collector.

I'll have to see if he'll join up and post some photos. :)

Never got on with fountain pens being a lefty... there are some rather lovely ones to be had though.

My mum has a couple of beautiful vintage ones including one used by someone royal to sign something at the hospital she worked in. Princess Michael of Kent I think :think:

Oh, I'm cheap. Zebra 301 fine ballpoint for my pens, Zebra 301 0.5mm and Mars-Steadler 2mm lead holders for my pencils, cheap Pentel clicky white erasers and dollar store colored pencils for hiliting.

But if I could afford it, I could spend a LOT of money at Jetpens.

I still carry my parker vector with fine point cartridge. It has been with me for at least 15 years. I had to resort getting the refills in the UK, as here in Spain I cannot seem to get a hold on the Fine cartriges I prefer.

this x-mas, the missus gave me this:



and yes, I do actually write with these things.

I had one of these stolen by the border nannies a couple of years ago.


Tom Anderson "Nuke"  Linerlock, not "automatic" not "assisted opening" not nothing. and this was before they decided that OHO blades were WMD's.

You could buy the same knife from an Aussie seller on eBay but get it for 1/2 the price (incl postage) from a seller in the USA.

First thing I know is a nasty-gram letter turns up saying they have confiscated the "flick knife" that I was trying to import and if I wanted to challenge the decision it would have to go through court as me being PROSECUTED for importing it and if I was found not guilty I could have it but if found guilty I could end up with a fine of several thousand dollars and/or three months in prison!!!

I just hope that the goat molesting SOB that "confiscated" it cut himself badly while playing with it.

and then a week later this one, another Tom Anderson design, the Aquanaut. made it through the post without even being opened!!



A FAR more scary looking knife if you ask me.

edit: sorry for the hijack.

Today I'm using some version of a relatively inexpensive Pelikan piston-fill fountain pen with Montblanc Bordeaux ink. The nib is soft flex, and I've hand-ground and polished it to sort of a mid-Italic point which gives a nice line variation and is very smooth writing.

I do not collect pens of any monetary value, but I like to keep pens than I am given during visits, seminars etc. as souvenirs. Generally I use about one pen aday so any valuable pen will be a aste of money for me to carry.

Well currently the only folding knives that will get through if inspected by oz customs are , slip joints & some lock backs (I can not believe they managed to flick open my Gerber DPSF lockback ??? ???). I think most liner lock & frame locks are currently having trouble getting through  >:( >:(. So no folding Spydercos,amongst everything else >:(, for Oz , I sure hope they stop this madness   :think: :think:


OK back on track I have always wanted a Spyderco BaliYo , a Balisong pen  8) :gimme: :D




Given the trouble I had getting my Fischer Space bullet pen through customs, I am not sure I want the grief  :think: :think: ::)
