New Fountain Pen

Pilor Elite 95s
Pilot Elite 95s

I have a new fountain pen called a Pilot Elite 95 s. I fell in love with this pen the first time I noticed it over a year ago. Pilot’s Elite S fountain pen was first introduced in 1968 and enjoyed great popularity especially as a wonderful gift for celebrating school admittance or a new job. The Elite 95S is based on the 2nd-generation Elite S from 1975, and mirrors the vintage feel of a pen from those times.

It has a retro style look I like. The 14K gold nib gives the pen a classy intriguing look and is a smooth writing instrument. When capped, it’s short and lightweight at 15 grams. When the cap is posted, the pen’s standard length makes it comfortable for writing. It comes in a solid black with gold trim and a burgundy body with a gold cap. I’m loving it and a gift from my sister!

 

Retired. Having fun with photography. Journal daily. Meditate daily. Learning haiku/poetry. Have a love for fountain pens.

    Very elegant! Those classic pens are works of art, as you have mentioned previously. My handwriting is terrible since I always type, and my typing isn’t all that good! I love the idea of writing though. Very contemplative and a lot less noisy than a keyboard. 😉

      There’s that word contemplative again, but it fits the type of writing I do. My journalS have taken on a life of constant change, from a diary format to diary/letter/thoughts format. Love how the fountain pens slow me down when writing.
