2024’s ENTIRE pen collection! (Multiple trays)

[@HagothVoyage]

That was fun! Thanks for the tour of a nice, reasonablly-sized collection of beautiful pens. It's easy to see that you like brown ones. Good for you! I enjoyed the pace you took us through with just enough detail to know what the pen was, why you like it and what is special about it. I would enjoy a similar look at other pen collections, but I'm afraid they might drone on too long. Here, in a nutshell is my collection: I love Faber Castell pens, but can only afford two: a silver Hexo and a black and silver Ambition (I got them both on sale). They both have F-C converters that DID NOT come with the pen. (angry face) The pens I really lust over are the Graph von Faber-Castell collection especially the Classic. My two favorites are the sterling silver Classic and the ebony Classic. At 70 years old I can assure you that I will never have the money to get any GvF-C pens. Thankfully Hong Dian makes a beautiful line of three different models of the Classic in their 1866 pens. They are beautiful and they tried to improve upon the original with new feeds and other little things. So I don't consider them a knockoff. And they write wonderfully with a jucy, bouncy nib. I also love my four Jinhao 92s. These are inspired by the GvF-C Bently Collection. In one way Jinhao DID improve on the original -- that was by adding a nice comfortable grip section. I have to say I like the overall look of the 92 better than the original GvF-C becaus of that. And even a 60 times what I paid for my Jinhaos, the GvF-C still have a stainless steel nib. Amazing. I have a few other pens -- a Miji, two Hong Dian M2a and a Monteverde Ritma ( all of which I love). I tend to favor metal pens and if they have a lovely wood section I like that too. In total I have 21 pens. My self-imposed limit is 22. I would like to get another Ritma, the one with a wallnut section with a Omni-flex nib. I also have some dip pen nibs and holders for my caligraphy. That's about it. I'm happy with what I have. I love that every pen I have I can use as an edc and not have to worry about it.

You have a really nice collection!

This lady will buy these fountain pens ALL back. Trust me. And then, she'll do videos on why she bought them back. Let's call it material for future KZbin videos.

[@cesarchavarria6644]

Drooling!

[@soyouwannamokatiki]

I love a collection video! My current collection is out of hand so I am going through my collection and going to be putting a large number up for sale soon, this has inspired me to maybe go through and be even more thorough!

[@ElMacSween]

Any Pelikans for sale? 😂

[@stevesmolik24]

From a lifetime of experience, you’ll regret selling any of your fountain pens. You don’t know me, but trust me, you’ll regret.

[@user-gl5ld9vm7i]

Yeah. I agree. Watch her buy them ALL back! Then, she'll do videos on WHY she bought them back 😂😂😂

[@paulmchugh1430]

I am doing the same thing, going through my collection and deciding which to keep and which to sell. It is tough to do. I think one should go, I write with it and then think I should keep it. An example is the Opus 88 Demonstrator. Love the pen but I don't use it often I have inked it up to see if it fits well in the hamd

[@jolienkrispijn]

Lovely overview and pens ❤️ I really do have too many pens, I think around 45. But love them too much still, to part with them lol. Have a wonderful Christmas and I hope the cold stays away.

[@robertcalkjr.8325]

Thanks, Carrie! I don't have very many pens. I'll have one more when my Mag600 in black ebonite gets here.

[@impish22]

great collection and I especially love the Benu pens and was able to snag a rare Benu in Pomegranate that I am still doing the happy dance to

[@ILoveFountainPensCdn]

I’m of the mindset, “sell everything but your favourites that you love and use regularly.” HOWEVER, having said that, I have a HUGE box of unopened and unused MB inks that I _want_ to sell, but it’s been eight months and I *still* haven’t had the energy to post them online. Even though I live around the corner from a CP kiosk, it just seems like A LOT of work!

[@randy4805]

I think the pen trays can be gotten from Penn Industries.

[@ichirofakename]

I got down to 34 since I found a retailer who buys pens. Distribution: Sailor: 15 Franklin-Christoph: 8 Pilot Parallel: 6 Other: 6 I probably will buy a couple more F-C's and Sailors, to fill out body color selections. That should be it, except maybe the occasional F-C or Sailor that's too beautiful not to buy. Hopefully I can keep within my arbitrary theoretical limit of 36, though it may require dumping some nice pens.

[@stevem4111]

Do you keep the original packaging when you buy a new pen?

[@kittykat3280]

The red BENU is the Sangria by the looks of it

[@PensandTea]

You’re right!!

[@kittykat3280]

@ I have been wanting to get one but haven’t been able to so far

[@Amit-th3xl]

I’m confused. Your previous video was titled “I’m selling ALL my pens EXCEPT for 5!”, so are you not selling ALL pens in your collection but those 5 you spoke about in your last video?

[@ichirofakename]

the 5 was a thought experiment

[@kevinlandon7578]

do not sellanything that you love. feel better soon. my collection is much bigger.
